Reviews with content warning for Death - The Sunlit Man

I gather that this is the most Cosmerey of the secret projects? Although it was my least favorite of the four, it was still an interesting, entertaining read. An astrophysics-based sci-fi story with an almost superhero feel to it. It dragged a bit for me — I think I would've rated it higher if it had been shorter.

This is a fantastic finish to the Year of Sanderson! I enjoyed this book from start to finish and honestly think it is still only the 2nd best out of the four secret projects. I am sad for the year to end due to how much fun I have had reading each one of the books, but I digress. This book is all about Sigzil from the SLA and what a story he now has to tell. He was granted one of the

4 Dawnshards from Whit (Hoid) and is now much older than in the SLA.

He is now almost entirely uncaring of anyone around him and is constantly on the run when he lands on Canticle, a planet with some very odd characteristics. The whole story up until the epilogue takes place on Canticle. You'll have to read it to find out the rest. I know we (probably) won't get another book focused on Sigzil, but what a way to finish the year!

Kinda bittersweet that this was the last of the Secret Projects. I am SO GLAD that I got to take part in the event that was the Kickstarter.

This is more fast paced than Sanderson’s usual work, but there is still a ridiculously strong connection to the characters, as per usual. It didn’t hurt that I already knew who Nomad really was, but it definitely made it easier for the tears to flow. Which they did. Thrice. I think my favorite part was how this book highlighted the enormous scope of what Sanderson is working towards for the greater Cosmere. To say it’s mind blowing would be an understatement.
