Jim's Review
🐛
One thousand and seven pages. Jim's little worm body is exhausted and he regrets NOTHING. Sanderson's magic system is the most creative thing since sliced bread, and his world-building makes most fantasy authors look like amateurs. Kaladin's journey from broken slave to leader is genuinely inspiring. The climax had Jim burrowing through pages so fast he left scorch marks. Fair warning: you WILL need to read the rest of the Stormlight Archive. Five worms — absolutely epic.
