A review by codyhenault
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
3.0
It took quite a while for me to get into. The first 10% was extremely world-building heavy and the next 40% really didn't grab me. Definitely a case of it's not you, it's me, because I'm not hugely into anime stories and this definitely felt like an anime/video game plot. So even though I didn't really bond with the story as much as I did with Tress, the last 35% of the novel was so good, I couldn't put it down. And those last few chapters were *chefs kiss*.
If I could rate the illustrations 5 stars on their own, I absolutely would. They were stunning and really added to the whole story. I definitely began to like Yumi and Painter in their art form before I liked them in the written story.
Side note, but I really love that Sanderson is getting more into romance plots and hope that he incorporates it into more stories!
