Fell asleep reading this whimsical wonderland last night. It's a fucking delight so far! Maybe this ruins it, but I read some reviews and found out it's inspired by Princess Bride, another absolute fave. So far, I'm fully charmed. I have to be careful while reading and drinking, there have been many many near spit takes. I'm glad I'm finally getting into Sanderson and that this is my welcome. It's light and fluffy.

Continuing the tradition of forgetting to update at night and then passing out reading. Tress is a freaking genius and I would follow her to the ends of the earth! How is she so smart?! The verdant tree to escape the crimson spikes was amazing! The bargain with the dragon was so fun! Hoid continues to be a delight. I love all the characters (I do wish Crow had been more 3D tho), and I love this whimsical wonderland!

Yet again, this charming book put me to sleep last night, but not because I am ever bored. It's just so soothing. Every now and then, I giggle, and then I am lulled into a calm sense of peace. I'm getting even more Princess Bride vibes but from the perspective of Wesley if we had been able to follow him on his journey aboard the pirate ship Revenge. Well, onward! I have book club tonight!
