I would maybe recommend this book
Review: This was a nice book (looking back, why in the world did I describe this book as nice??? That is like as boring of a word as it gets). It was obviously well written because it’s a Brandon Sanderson. The plot and storyline originally seem quite simple, but then are complicated by advanced science and topics like what are memories and consequences, and what role do they play in life. Towards the middle, for me, I honestly just got kinda tired of it all. That being said, there was a lot of character growth throughout the book, a very in-depth planet, and I loved how other characters from Brandon Sanderson books were mentioned as well. The book ended in a plot twist that I thought was just okay, but at least mixed things up a little. Overall, a good book with some really strong aspects, but also a few weaker aspects.
