A Douglas Adams-esque science fantasy that I thoroughly enjoyed! It's entirely possible that non-Sanderson readers are enjoying the secret project books better than the Sanderson fans. We go in with no expectations and are immensely entertained. This one is humorous, but not frothy, and pulls together the adventuring, the fantasy, the sci-fi, and the human story quite well by the end.

adventurous funny tense medium-paced

It started out kind of confusing and slow, but about a third of the way through it started picking up and I did enjoy it. It’s not my favorite of Sanderson’s worldbuilding- it was a bit confusing and some parts

like people from Earth having a weird effect on beings from the book’s dimension

didn’t make a ton of sense- but overall it was enjoyable and fun. I always love a character finally standing up for themselves and becoming a new person, and John’s character development was really good. It’s almost 4 stars, but because I still feel confused it’s not quite there.

Excellent writing, really weird plot and I just don't totally get the point of this book. Which is sad because I felt like it should have been good

Five stars, page turner. Anything I say will be a spoiler but I'm a sucker for SFF that can make me laugh. Very original concept with some good old tropes like "wakes up with no memories" and side comment footnotes.

Moderate: Cursing, Death, Blood, and Murder

Minor: Suicide attempt and War

Cursing infrequent, includes such words as "he**" and "hot d***", plus one "arse" and 2 occurrences in another language. Also a few invented curses.

Romantic content:

Past tense girlfriend. Budding relationship with hand holding, horseback riding "pressed together", she-smells-good, and general sappiness.

Spiritual content:

Norse-ish gods are real--some discussed, one acting unseen, and one corporeal. Brownie stories (called "wights" in this book) real and acted out daily. The wights are shadow-like and accept small offerings in exchange for favors.

I am an eternal B Sands stan, but this wasn't really it for me. I liked the format of the special edition I have, and the concept is sound. But some of the themes didn't quite land.
