This was my first Brandon Sanderson book. I’ve heard a lot of people love his other books and this one sure didn’t disappoint! Our MC wakes up in the middle of a scorch marks in a field and has no idea who he is or where he is, and then people start chasing him and he just knows he needs to hide.
He meets a local skop, a kind of witch, and gets involved with a rescue. He’s able to dazzle the anglo saxon locals with special body augments that he’s had installed. As the story unfolds we learn more about his life as he does. And it starts looking like he might not be the hero that he’s hoping he’d be.
There were SO many funny lines in this book. I kept stopping to read lines to my wife because I loved them so much. If you like a time travel story anti-hero who is really a screw-up but who decides that he’s going to save the day anyway!
