The Sunlit Man

This was quite a ride, another Cosmere novel which felt like it had a breakneck pace as characters kept running to safety. There's plenty of action and development, though the fast pace limits how much characters could explore of their world. It's probably the most Cosmere-heavy of the Year of Sanderson (though 3 of the novels are set in the Cosmere) so the hints at the greater struggles and connections to other worlds were appreciated.

This was a nice tie-in with the Stormlight Archive novels, although you don't have to have read them to enjoy the story. However, there are a lot of Cosmere references in this one, and if you aren't at least a little bit familiar with the lore, you're missing out on many of the little details.

Since I haven't read all of the Cosmere novels yet, there were points in the story where I wished I knew more of the background, to understand the references. Also, it's been some time since I read the Stormlight novels, so I couldn't remember some of the stuff where I thought "wait, that sounds familiar..."

Still, absolutely a recommendation for every Sanderson / Cosmere fan out there!
