Did not finish book.

The gratuitious 80's references for no reason got really grating really soon.

This requires a ton of context from the Stormlight Archives series and other Cosmere novels to appreciate, but it's very good, and I loved the connections!

3.5

There's not much to this book with its fairly simple writing and somewhat meandering plot, and it's full of sexism, but damn if the adventure and historical details don't draw me in just like they did in high school. The life of adventure, casual study, and sense of exploration is so appealing to me that I just can't get this book out of my heart.
