A review by amyapple
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
Started this with zero expectations and then initially groaned internally because I thought it would be a tropey romance. BUT it wasn’t!
This was page turner for me because I was extremely curious as to what was happening and why.
In retrospect it was a romance indeed and the ending would have been more powerful if the epilogues didn’t come into play. However, being a Sanderson book it had to be how it played out in the end.
Also being Sanderson, the pay off at the end was worth the initial slog (like a lot of his recipes).
More fleshing out of characters would have been great and less info dumping at the end would have also been better. I felt it was all explained well before the “explanations” at the end parts but I gathered Sanderson did this for those who didn’t get it through the organic story telling… so therefore making it more accessible for all.
