I love the world building. I love how it's a medieval fantasy setting with a futuristic lense on top of it. It leads to a very unique setting that the characters explore.
I love the protagonist in this book especially when he is by himself and it is only his internal monologue. The other characters were weaker and just not as fleshed out as he was. I would have preferred if the main character had spent more time with it only being him because those pages flew by while the other pages of him interacting with the others were more of a slog.
The death fake outs in this book are so obvious that I did not register them as deaths. I just couldn't believe that the book tried to fake Ealstan's death twice.
The best parts of this book were the FAQs that were sprinkled throughout they were really funny and explained world building that would have been out of place in the main story. When the story felt like a slog I would read it for the next FAQ almost like it was a reward.
This is a book that has a lot of potential but I feel that it did not fully meet my expectations. If this got a sequel I would read it but I would not recommend this book over so many other great Sanderson books.
