I found the narrator's bits highly distracting. In many ways, it threw me out of the story and I couldn't justify the interactions.

anyway, this was utterly charming! i loved the story and the characters so much. they were relatable and heartfelt, and their struggles felt realistic. i adored the vividness of the world and all of the colour imagery -- it really helped me visualise and imagine the world in my head.
another good thing about this book is that it's a standalone -- so u don't need to be familiar w/ the cosmere to understand what's happening! yea, there were a few references that i didn't understand, but it didn't impede my understanding of the narrative. i highly recommend this book if u enjoy
• character driven story with a fun storyline
• a very slow burn romance
• cool magic systems
• pretty obvious themes, but written in a very realistic and relatable way (ESPECIALLY as an artist)
this will certainly be a story i'll be returning to in the future (💸), and i am so excited to read the rest of sanderson's books
