My Thoughts

I really needed a fun read and this fit the bill. Brandon Sanderson is a personal favorite and I hadn’t seen this book before. I enjoyed the concept and the literary device of memory loss. As a reader, we were walked through putting together who the main character is, why he is there, and was able to cheer him on as he attempted to do what is right. I can’t ask for much more than that.

Recommendation

Fun book!
