Review The Rithmatist contains some very good surprises on the way to a pleasingly nifty conclusion -- Patrick NessThere are very few authors about whom I can say, without a doubt, that I will read every single book they ever write. Brandon Sanderson is a member of that club. Hes brilliant and has an imagination Ive only seen in the likes of Stephen King and J.K. Rowling -- James Dashner, author of The Maze RunnerBrimming with wit, mystery, and enough ideas to make ten other books jealous, The Rithmatist is boldly entertaining and wildly original ... the slam-bang finish made me stand up and cheer * Dan Wells *Feisty characters, and a complex plot likely to unwind over several volumes, this high-spirited, exciting story will appeal to readers of all ages * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *Fantasy readers should devour this well-crafted mix of action and setup, enriched by thoroughly detailed cultural and historical background and capped by a distinctly unsettling twist * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *The story is compelling and the main characters of Joel and Melody are ones that we can relate to-- even their wishes, desires, hopes, and dreams ring true . . . I believe that it would be of interest to readers of all ages * SFRevu.com *Its utterly engrossing. Because its a Sanderson book, I feel like it almost doesnt even bear mentioning any more that theres an inventive new magic system with well-defined rules * The FantasyBookCritic blog *The Rithmatist is an imaginative, action-packed SFF adventure - entertaining, fun, and with oodles of future potential. In other words: get your chalk out, folks, because this is another good one from Brandon Sanderson . . . I absolutely cannot wait to return to Joel and Melodys world, and absolutely recommend this book * TheBookSmugglers.com *The Rithmatist has easily become one of my all-time favourite young adult fantasy books and is a wonderful addition to anyones summer reading list ... I couldnt help but find myself attached to the characters and their struggles to find confidence and worth in themselves. As much as it is a story about magic, monsters, and chalk lines, it is a story about growing up and learning that everyone has something they can do, something they can give to others * TeenReads.com *The Rithmatist is a captivating, winning story with likable characters, an interesting and original magic system, and an ending that opens up rather than closes down * FantasyLiterature.com *A must-read for teens and adults alike. Full of mystery, suspense, intrigue - The Rithmatist is impossible to put down and refreshingly unpredictable. Im not sure what I enjoyed more - the vivid characters, the clever story, or the rich fantasy world. Together these make for a solid and impressive novel that I wholeheartedly recommend * SciFiChick.com * Promotional Brandon Sanderson is the internationally bestselling author of the Stormlight Archives, the Mistborn series and many other top fantasy titles.
