He is not a hobbit, neither a man, but what is he? Is he a dwarf? A wizard? A god? Something else entirely?

    Thank you for indirectly leading me to discover the book title “The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England”. Even if I never work my way to finding out anything further about this corner of literature, that title certainly tickled me.

      It’s a really fun read. Sanderson gets some hate from literary snobs for his simple writing style but sometimes that’s the style of story you need.

        (Raises an eyebrow) Who has a problem with Brandon’s writing style?

        Edit: FYI this comment was meant to rag on him for his writer’s tic of having his characters raise a single eyebrow on every other page. Personally while I like many of his stories, his prose has been distractingly awkward at times.

      Title is great, but I didn’t read that one yet because there’s no Hoid in there. I want to complete the Cosmere reread first.
