5 stars is not enough. This will probably be in my Top 5 of the year. I love that Brandon Sanderson wrote this for his wife, after they wondered what would have happened in The Princess Bride if Buttercup had set out to find and save Westley herself.

A rat. Found family. Pirates. A dragon. A sorceress. Humor that made me laugh like an idiot. This book truly swept me up in the story and the characters.

This was my first Brandon Sanderson book and I'm so glad it was. It felt like a wonderful introduction to his other works, which I look forward to reading in the future.
