Background
Published in April of 2023, “The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England” by Brandon Sanderson is a futuristic fantasy novel. It unfolds in a world where a corporation offers dimensions akin to medieval England to thrill-seekers from the present day. Equipped with advanced technology, these visitors appear as wizards to the locals, but when the protagonist discovers unexpected company in his personal dimension, he finds more than he bargained for.
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!
