I’m not entirely sure Brandon Sanderson’s first dip into young adult literature should actually be considered young adult. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to the dreck that passes for most YA these days — a high concept world full of lovelorn teenagers, poorly written – but this felt more innocent ...
So this is basically Harry Potter with a much cooler magic system. What's not to love. :DI might be a bit biased since I adore Sanderson's work and will read (and probably like) anything and everything he publishes. I am still so fascinated with his ability to come up with such innovating and unique...
Pre-read reaction, October 2011:I have only a vague idea what it's about. But it's by Sanderson, so *cue droning robot voice* . . . I will read it.

I am a freaking huge Brandon Sanderson fan, so the opportunity to read his first YA novel was not one to pass up ;-). Like all Sanderson novels, The Rithmatist has a new and intriguing magic system, ...
I love this book. I expected to like it but I didn't think I would love it quiet the way I do. I'm still unsure about some of the chalk magic stuff, but I love the main characters and all the questions the story asks.
