My first Brandon Sanderson book. It has been a while since I wanted to read one of his books. He’s so loved by the reading community that I was curious to understand why. Although, he’s a fantasy author. And if you don’t know by now, fantasy is not my cup of tea. He has at least one sci-fi series, but I haven’t found the will to try it out. And then, the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ve Ever Done comes into my life. It has been a hot minute since I’ve talked about it. I don’t know if you’ve heard.
