“There is scant nutrition to be had from an if.”
― Stephen Fry, Odyssey
It’s been a wild time at Chateau Martin. February has both mine, and my sons birthday which makes for a very busy month. On top of that I was supposed to go to New York for a work event, and ended up getting stuck in Palm Springs for a day and turning right back around!

Yumi and The Nightmare Painter - Brandon Sanderson 20
March is gonna be a month of book reviews!
I have read a decent amount of Brandon Sanderson books, a lot of Mistborn, his Wheel of Time books, some other miscellaneous things. I’ve grown accustom to his styles and quirks. I think with a lot of his books the first 50% I struggle and then near the end I hit a groove. By the end I usually am ambivalent on the story and wished the journey was more fun.
This book is no different. By the end I could see a lot of cool ideas. It combines some interesting ideas from Japanese manga - both historical Japan settings + futuristic cyberpunk. But the end of the story left me wishing for more
Thanks for reading!
