The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson

3.75

Perfect for some light entertainment! This was the most sci-fi of all the Brandy Sandy books I’ve read, which was a fun little change. It follows Johnny, who arrived in a Medieval-like world with no memory of how / why he got there, and has to help stop some gangsters from fucking shit up. 

This was fun, but like the other Sanderson covid-projects, not at all what I’m used to with him. I did think the humor in this book worked more than in Tress, but this will never be one of the books I point to when I want someone to start reading Brandy Sandy. It’s very surface-level, and easy to breeze through—which is fine, but I’m used to a bit more substance from his works. I think he’s known for his unique and elaborate magic systems / worlds, and I just don’t think these special projects really showcase that. Still, this was a fun read, and I’m glad I picked it up!
