Lord this took me altogether too long to read. A really enjoyable story in a way different genre for Sanderson. Loved the narrative voice.

"Because two of my influences were Japanese origin, I decided to lean into this basing Yumi's culture on historical Korea and Painter's on a more modern Japan" I don't really understand and can't help bu feel disappointed...
