Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

I honestly waffled at going 3 or 4. It’s a good book, and yes it is a departure from Sanderson’s normal fair, but it just didn’t grip me like all his other stuff. I spent a long time forcing myself to return to the book, the two separate narratives kept stopping the flow. <br /><br />That said, the last 1/3 of the book was quite good. I really enjoyed that part and couldn’t put it down until the end. 100% worth the read just not one I’ll probably return to. — See my review here
