WHY HASN’T HE MADE A SECOND ONE?????!!!!!!! This book was amazing I literally read it for 5 hours straight!!!

I never in my life thought I’d give a Brandon Sanderson book a low review. Was this written for children? Because if so, it went simple in the worst ways. It doesn’t even feel like it was written by him. It feels like he just slapped his name on it. I just... there’s a lot off about this title and I don’t like it at all. I’m still rating it higher than some but sheesh.

I am looking forward to the hopeful sequel to this great book! Brandon Sanderson has once ahead gone and broken down the gates of originality and put his ideas in power. An incredible read.

Good plot, interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested for hours. I can't wait for the sequel.

Great new magic system. You won't want to stop until the end. Anxiously waiting for the next in the series!!!

This was really nice

I loved this book when I read it but at the end of the book it said to be continued. I was wondering when that would come out.

I honestly read the hard-cover book, but I still want to make a review. I have a very specific type of books that I enjoy, and Brandon Sanderson meet every requirement I would ever have. Books that are fantasy, adventurous, mysterious, and , most of all, magical. Thumbs up to The Rithmatist. It is a true five-star book. I am eagerly waiting for Sanderson's next masterpiece.

This is truly a high quality fantasy book, if you're looking for something with a darker spooky like tone but will cause you to keep flipping the virtual pages. The book doesn't have explicit words or scenes which is a plus for younger readers who are intrigued about Joel's world of rithmatists and chalklings that might pinch of your skin and rip out your eyes without second thought. Over all a great page turner novel can't wait for the second book.

The writing in this solid first story not only presents the rich expanse of the world and characters in it, but leaves the reader with the almost aching desire to see where the next book will take you. What is the hidden history of this world? Will our two young protagonists meet their mysterious potential? What is left to be discovered about Rithmatics? Have we only caught a glimpse of the sinister plots and politics? This Potter-esque pattern promises to be an intriguing series!
