I loved the others but this one is just really good. Thank you Brandon Sanderson! Excellent! ( ) asl4u | Jul 21, 2024 | A boy and a girl from different worlds get their souls entwined. Who'd have thought Sanderson would write a romance novel and absolutely knock it out of the park? I mean, it's also fantasy and adventure, but the core of the story is romance, and it had me in tears. Most creatives by this stage in their careers are content to repeat themselves and ride on their reputations. You've got a hit series or four, you're at the top of your field, why rock the boat? But Sanderson keeps developing and correcting and Having Fun. He just keeps getting better. And he started out as one of the best. (Jun. 2024) ( ) comfypants | Jun 29, 2024 | I cant say I agreed with all the stylistic choices in the book, including the narrator’s perspective and the frequency with which it breaks the fourth wall, but by the end those were minor, and understandable, quibbles with a book that takes you on a totally unexpected journey for a few hundred pages. Highly recommended. ( ) mrbearbooks | Apr 22, 2024 | filbo_2024 | Apr 19, 2024 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: From the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time—#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson adds to his Cosmere universe shared by Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive with a new standalone novel especially for fans of fantasy romances. Illustrated by Aliya Chen. There is a world. One of endless night, surrounded by an even deeper darkness. Filled with nightmares come to life, twisted shapes that slink to windows and ease open doors, sliding across floors to look down on helpless faces. There is another world. A bright world, so bright it burns. Filled with stacked stones that call forth miracles, raised by callused hands that tremble in their work, drained with each stone lifted, settled, lifted again. Between these worlds two souls connect. Collide. Entwine. A bridge. A path. A road to both worlds changing forever. Yumi has spent her entire life in strict obedience, granting her the power to summon the spirits that bestow vital aid upon her society—but she longs for even a single day as a normal person. Painter patrols the dark streets dreaming of being a hero—a goal that has led to nothing but heartache and isolation, leaving him always on the outside looking in. In their own ways, both of them face the world alone. Suddenly flung together, Yumi and Painter must strive to right the wrongs in both their lives, reconciling their past and present while maintaining the precarious balance of each of their worlds. If they cannot unravel the mystery of what brought them together before it's too late, they risk forever losing not only the bond growing between them, but the very worlds they've always struggled to protect. Note from Brandon: That was Yumi and the Nightmare Painter for me. The unanticipated story of two people who find one another. May your dreams live as mine sometimes do. .No library descriptions found. |
