With the monsters in this world flat, Brandon Sanderson ties one dimension behind his back and still creates terrors. Like demon cockroaches, they’ll gnaw me to the whites of my bones. Skittering, squirming caricatures will swarm across the floor. If any weakness exists, the enemy chalkings will find it. ![]() My drawing will need precision, lines straight, angles exact. Scrawling wave patterns that snake outward in white blasts of power. Defending it with chalk drawings that come alive. Just so I could hold one and imagine drawing a circle of protection around myself. I wish the hardcover book came with three pieces of chalk. If you love the idea of dominating through geometry, then The Rithmatist is the gearpunk fantasy for you. ![]()
