What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Amazing Cosmere Story”
This story is a masterpiece in world building, foreshadowing, and payoff. Each element that gets introduced usually gets some kind of payoff later and it’s wonderful. The story stands alone, but is even more fun if you have several Cosmere novels under your belt. Especially knowing WHO the narrator is, it makes it more fun and enjoyable to listen to his often wise or humorous off-comments.The production and voice team did an amazing job of performing and mixing together the audio and sound together. It was so cool to hear a door open, or a ship bump a dock, rather than the narrator say "the door opened" or the "ship bumped the dock". I enjoyed every minute of listening to this book and production. Well done!

5/5 stars — “Delightful “
This book is playful and fun! I was genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised by the dramatic change in tone from other Sanderson books.It’s difficult to make me laugh out loud, and even more difficult to get a laugh out of my husband, but we both found ourselves chuckling- especially in response to specific characters.
Hopefully Mr. Sanderson writes more stories like this one. I will gobble them up as quickly as he can churn them out.
