    This one is weird for me, I wasn’t drawn into this book as quick as Tress. The world wasn’t as interesting to me as some of his other works. It took me until chapter 28 to finally be invested in the characters (Early Yumi was a Karen imo, and I really don’t like her).

    Early book I was only interested in Nikiro’s world the city in eternal darkowas really cool. It kind of puts a damper in my reading experience when 1/2 the pov’s take place in an uninteresting world (Yumi’s, for me was just meh).

    I watched “Your Name” with my gf before I started Yumi and the whole time I was like this is a body swap like that. Pretty surprised about it being one of his inspirations I didn’t think Sando watched anime for some reason.

    Overall, I give it a 2.5/5 it was okay worth a read for the Cosmere connections but I won’t reread it anytime soon if at all. Better than RoW and Lost Metal but weaker than Emperor’s Soul and Tress. Compared to the other secret projects it’s the middle book so far. Tress>Yumi>Wizard.
