It's The Hobbit. Nothing more to be said that hasn't already been.

I really enjoyed the magic system and the mystery surrounding it. Some of the setup and worldbuilding in the first half felt a bit tedious, and I struggled with some of the names early on trying to figure out pronunciations. The characters are pretty well written but the plot has some pacing issues. Definitely a Sanderlanche at the end though. Worth reading if you're working through the Cosmere and It's a world I would like to go back to if he ever gets around to writing a sequel.

Loved it, devoured it in one sitting. The magic system of rewriting the history of people and objects to change their abilities and properties is fascinating. It's also great to get some more context on the world of Elantris that we didn't get in the original book. Highly recommend if you're a Sanderson fan.
