Between 3 and 4 stars. Gets by mostly on humour and charm (it's really quite funny); the plot is interesting enough and the mystery is engaging, but it's definitely occasionally a bit thin. Then again, it's a rare short novel from Sanderson, so that's not surprising. It's a nice light palate cleanser.

Me ha gustado, pero no demasiado, es interesante como lo quiere hacer Brandon y que no sea Cosmere es curioso, me llama la atención su mundo alternativo, interesante la verdad.

Marca buenas pautas sobre lo que se puede hacer y lo que no, no mentiré me esperaba otro final, otro plot un tanto curioso y de nuevo, Brandon haciendo spoiler con sus imágenes antes de los hechos xD

No es la mejor novela secreta, de hecho, la considero la peor de las 4 y bueno, tampoco es largo, es algo aburrido (después de medio libro) leer cositas de la guía que son solo texto de relleno, entiendo por qué, pero no me gusta.

Pudo ser mejor en algunos aspectos, por ejemplo, en la manera de narrar ciertos acontecimientos de la historia, pero en general, esta bien. No me quejo demasiado de Brandon hace buenos libros.

Started out a lot more promising than how it finishes.
Enjoyable light read that didn’t evoke too much emotion but a few laughs.

Not an amazing book to rave anything about but not a bad book imho.
