Hope it's good! I decided to order the fancy hardcover edition the other day, so I'm waiting until it arrives to read this one. I'm excited, though!
I thought it was good, Sanderson was selling it as a good first cosmere book, but there's a lot of conversations that just go over your head if you're not familiar w/ how things work in the cosmere. I think Tress is still probably a better first read for him.
Well, luckily I ordered Tress too and was planning to start with that one! Of the two, which did you like better?
It's close. I enjoyed them both, but preferred Tress. Tress is more of an adventure, while Yumi sits in a setting and explores that one area more as well as relationships between characters.
There were definitely parts of Yumi I liked more than Tress, but as a whole story, Tress was closer to my preferred style.
