What was especially powerful to me was Sanderson's use of perspective in the storytelling, which felt grounded while at the same time showing how meaningful it can be to see things from another's eyes. This is really a book of contrasts, and the way that Sanderson was able to balance opposing worlds, seemingly incompatible attitudes, different cultures, and changes in tone from levity and seriousness, was quite masterful. Add to this the very strong emotional payoffs in the final quarter and some of Sanderson's best prose, and it's really hard to ask for much more. Admittedly it wasn't all perfect - there is an explanatory info dump towards the end of the book which I didn't feel was completely necessary and interrupted the flow of the story somewhat, and it's certainly arguable if the conclusion would have been more impactful without the final scene for Yumi and Painter, but ultimately I don't think these detracted from my enjoyment of the book. I believe Sanderson has said this was his personal favourite of his Secret Projects, and I'm so far in agreement. Highly recommended for any fantasy, anime or character-driven fans - definitely in my top tier of Sanderson books.

HTML: From the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all timeâ??#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson adds to his Cosmere universe of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive a standalone novel especially for fans of Asian pop culture. Narrated by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer. There is a world of endless night, surrounded by an even deeper darkness. Filled with nightmares come to life, twisted shapes that slink to windows and slide across floors to look down on helpless faces. There is another world so bright it burns. Filled with stacked stones that call forth miracles, raised by callused hands that tremble in their work. Between these worlds two souls collide, entwine. Yumi's life is spent in strict obedience, granting her the power to summon the spirits that bestow vital aid to her societyâ??but she longs for a single day as a normal person. Painter patrols the dark streets dreaming of being a heroâ??which has led to heartache and isolation, leaving him always on the outside looking in. Both face the world alone. Suddenly flung together, Yumi and Painter 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 their mysterious connection 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: Sometimes a story emerges like magic. Unexpected, unprompted. You build an outline in days, craft worlds during a compulsive daydream, and develop characters with a burst of imagination like the brief flash of a firework. That was this novel for me. The unanticipated story of two people who find one another. May your dreams live as mine sometimes Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

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. (
