I really enjoyed the audiobook! This book is separate from the cosmere. More scifi than fantasy (as the author mentions in his postscript). But it’s a fun story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

This is a really fun blend of sci-fi and fantasy with a great twist. I really enjoyed exploring the world and the main character as their mysteries were revealed.

The writing style was obnoxious, but apparently not obnoxious enough for me to quit. The one redeeming factor of the book was the main character’s development arc at the end.
