Lots of potential, but annoying protagonist
3 stars
I read this because Sanderson sent a short preview in his newsletter last year, which I really liked - the worldbuilding felt fun and innovative. The protagonist is very annoying though, and while it makes for good conflict, it chafes too much through the story. There's a decent character study in there somewhere, but it doesn't come through with such an annoying character.
