What did you think? Remember to put spoilers behind a spoiler tag!😉 (Let us know if you need help with using spoiler tags.)

1. Who was your favorite character?

2. Who was your least favorite character?

3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be? (Spoiler?)

4. What did you think of the ending? (Spoiler tags, please!)

5. What was your overall opinion?

[Elisabeth (Bets), ⭒assistant mod⭒]

1. Tress or Huck, he was pretty funny.

2. The Duke 😁😁 I would say Crow except, well, I feel sorry for her.

3. The crudeness. I realize it added to the story but I still don't feel like it's necessary. Without that I would feel ok reading this book to my younger siblings, with that.. not so much.

4. OH MY WORD. Those last 60 pages 😮😮

5. I really enjoyed it, it was a fast easy read for me, like aforementioned I didn't enjoy the crude humor but other then that I don't really have any issues with the book. I definitely plan on reading more.

[✧Bella✧]

1. Who was your favorite character?

I think Tress, actually. Yeah, the MC *gasp*. I did love most of the characters tho.

2. Who was your least favorite character?

Hmm... maybe either the Duke or the Sorceress. I didn't care for Crow either.

3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be? (Spoiler?)

Tbh, I prob would have just cut out the few inappropriate comments.

4. What did you think of the ending? (Spoiler tags, please!)

It was great. SPOILER(view spoiler)[I didn't call the whole Hich is Charlie thing until the page before it was revealed, so that was fun. (hide spoiler)]END SPOILER And the ending ending, after the climax, was great too.

5. What was your overall opinion?

I really enjoyed it. I'm thinking 4.5 stars? I loved the writing style,
and the characters, and the setting, and there were so many great quotes. It's a book I would consider reading again.

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

1. Who was your favorite character?

Tress and Charlie💜

2. Who was your least favorite character?

Not counting the obvious bad guys who played their parts well, Ulaam (*shivers*)

3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be? (Spoiler?)

The occassional crude humor was not necessary.

4. What did you think of the ending? (Spoiler tags, please!)

Everything came together fabulously! I loved it.🤩

My favorite Sanderson book of the 8 I have read.😊

[LotheCat!]

1. Who was your favorite character?
Fort🙂
2. Who was your least favorite character?
Captain Crow or the sorceress.
3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be?
Idk I liked it all.
4. What did you think of the ending? (Spoiler tags, please!)
It was really good I guessed that one part at the end. the part with the rat.
5. What was your overall opinion?
4 stars. I really liked it.

[LotheCat!]

BTW Sharon I loved Ulaam.

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

Yeahhhh, he was just a bit too “eager” for me.😬

[LotheCat!]

HA!🤣😂

I liked him 😂 He was honestly pretty delightful. lol. He was sooo matter of fact. And yes he was "eager", but he wasn't pushy. He'd just say something and then when told "no" he would move on. At least from what I remember. lol

[✧Bella✧]

Yeah, I like Ulaam too. I wasn't sure at first, but he quickly grew on me.

[Elisabeth (Bets), ⭒assistant mod⭒]

His third ear at one point 😂 when he clapped his hands I laughed so hard

[✧Bella✧]

Oh yeah, lol.

[Mary Emma]

1. Who was your favorite character?

Tress! But I also really liked Charlie.


2. Who was your least favorite character?

Hmm, that’s hard. Everyone was pretty entertaining—even Crow. But I guess Crow would rank in last place for me.


3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be?

I’d take out a lot of the crude references. They just felt unnecessary, and pulled me out of the story at times.


4. What did you think of the ending?

Without giving any spoilers, I’ll just say I totally called the ending! Which was both good and bad, I guess? Because I’m satisfied with the way it ended, but I feel like I missed out on some of the experience since I saw it coming.


5. What was your overall opinion?

It was such a fun and creative story! I think my enjoyment of the story was slightly hampered by the crude moments and the guessing of the plot, but it’s still a book I would read again!

[Ava]

1. Oh gosh that's so hard. I like Tress, Charlie, Hoid, and, Ulaam.
2. IDK. Probably captain Crow.
3. I'm not the type to want to change things. I liked it how it was.
4. Awesome! If we were going off the end alone it would for sure be a 5-star. And man that plot twist! Never sall that coming.
5. But I don't really think I can give it a five-star rating, as it wasn't till the end that it was amazing. I think it was really good overall. So we're gonna give it four stars.

[✧Bella✧]

Ik, I said Tress, but I also love Charlie, Hoid, and Ulaam.

1. Who was your favorite character?
Hoid

2. Who was your least favorite character?
Prolly tress lol

3. If you could change one part of the book, what would it be?
Honestly no clue

4. What did you think of the ending? (Spoiler tags, please!)
Crazy ending. The swap!! Wow, tress is good. I loved the final battle scene? Idk, whatever it was, it was amazing! I have no complaints about the ending, smth very rare haha.

5. What was your overall opinion?
I feel like it def isn’t gonna be one of my fav sando reads but it was very enjoyable. I loved hoid’s perspective. There were so many great characters, each one so unique, and so much humor which I loveddd. Can’t wait to read the other secret projects!
