Tress of the Emerald Sea

Great characters and lovely romance. Sadly could see the ending a mile away.

Charming like a fairytale if you can let go of the anachronisms that come with Sanderson's world-building. (Personally, I just roll with it.)

Hoid is not nearly as clever or charming a narrator as he believes himself to be and that took me out of the story at some points. Also I hated the character illustrations so much.

I must admit, Sanderson is not the best writer technically speaking, but he is exceedingly good at one-liners. His work feels like the Marvel Studios of the fantasy world, not necessarily a diss. He's enjoyable and fun where it counts.

That is to say it was a good simple read and exactly that I needed to take my mind off THAT book.
