Software engineer at Booking.com, making experimentation and A/B testing better. I like to make things, mostly with code, and sometimes I write about it. I am also interested in learning languages (ES, EN, FR, KR, NL), video games, miniature painting, TTRPG, and fantasy fiction books.

A short read while travelling in the trains. Easy to read, presents a quite original idea, but sadly doesn't develop it more, leaving you with thirst for more.

As a video game adaptation, it is not the greatest book, but for the fans of the game, it makes a good summary of the story and established a canon of events (something complicated with so many endings).
It also focuses a lot on the thoughts of the characters and motivations, and also explains some of the most confusing parts of the ending (greatly appreciated).
As engineer, I also found very funny how accurately pods behave like a kubernetes cluster.
If you are a fan of the saga, this could be perfectly a 4-5 stars book because it completes and clarifies the game. If you come with no knowledge, it is a 2-3: entertaining, but not great.

As usual in Sanderson's books, the start is slow, invested into world building and a new “magic system”. The setup has charisma, and we can see how the characters are so different yet so similar, both trapped in their own duties, loneliness, and trauma.
