In a story that takes place between Sanderson's Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, young woman Rysn is still adapting to the injury that left her a paraplegic. Her pet Chiri-Chiri is one of the things that keeps her motivated, so when Chiri-Chiri starts acting sick, Rysn seeks a cure: Chiri-Chiri must be returned to the island of her birth, an island that no one has survived when they visit. With creatures intent on keeping her and the Knights Radiant on her crew away from the island, Rysn must face unknown Gods and survive.
This is an interesting novel for those who are heavily involved in the Stormlight Archive. If you're not a fan of the series or haven't read the first three novels then this one won't make much sense. It heightens some of the world-building that Sanderson has done, and it brings up characters and storylines that are enjoyable and fan-favorites. The students who love Brandon Sanderson will enjoy this, but it's not a good pick for the average fantasy-reader. Rysn is a fictional ethnicity with no specific skin described
