Probably my favourite book of 2013 so far. Just amazing! It was fun, exciting, with tremendous world building.

4.5/5 - The only thing tragic about this is that the next book doesn't release until 2015. :(

The Rithmatist is being marketed as the latest Young Adult novel from fantasy author Brandon Sanderson.
