I didn‘t love this one was much as I did with “Tress of the Emerald Sea”, however this story was very unique and interesting. The plot twists were ones that took me by surprise and made me further appreciate the world-building, plot, and its characters.
bailedI tried I really did & maybe 🤔 I‘m missing something but sadly had to dnf it , maybe just bad timing and a huge TBR and limited time left in this planet 🌍 you realise your never gonna be able to read everything, so it‘s my first dnf of the year. My first time with a sanderson book but hadn‘t put me off I will try maybe a series this one just not for me too slow & couldn‘t engage with the characters
Shai had never met an emperor before, let alone poked one in the face
pickI think the reason I gave this four instead of five stars was how long it took me to get into the story. I almost dnf‘d several times, but stuck with it. My husband loved the book and asked me to read it, so I kept going. It did eventually pick up and the last 100 or so pages were really fun. Was it worth the previous 300+ pages? I‘m not sure. I liked it enough, but…(cont in comments)

Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale-spinner and author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the prophesied hero failed to defeat the Dark Lord? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises that begins with the book in your hands. Fantasy will never be the same again.
I finished THE SUNLIT MAN while I assembled the first wall of my new book nook and played a bit of Candy Crush. While I appreciated it as a look beyond the Cosmere chronology we‘ve seen so far, the story never really sparked for me. I think perhaps it‘s best appreciated by Cosmere superfans who‘ve committed themselves to close readings of all the books, with a huge wealth of detail fresh in their memory.
Got my 2025 reading journal set up while I started THE SUNLIT MAN on audio! I find I‘m way less interested in tracking stuff like genres these days, so I went with a simple monthly list setup, some A to Z challenge pages, a place to log a book for every year I‘ve been alive, a Best Of page, and a spending log.
The book hasn‘t totally grabbed me, though I AM intrigued that it features an established character further on in his timeline.
pickI can‘t reveal too much (it is a secret after all). Recommend reading after Mistborn Era 1 for the full affect. 4/5

It took me a little to get used to Lift‘s narration in this in this shorter novel - which is the length of some normal novels - but once I was into it, I loved it. I‘m so interested to see how everything I‘ve learned in this book fits in with the series as a whole.
There was also a great Cosmere surprise in this one that made me literally gasp. I am having such a good time traveling through Brandon Sanderson‘s universe.
ITS HERE!!!! I ordered over a year ago!!! #BrandonSanderson#StormlightArchive#WindAndTruth
