Why read it?
1 author picked The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Brandon Sanderson takes a hard left turn into a world of wizards mashed up with sci-fi technology. As a lover of mixed-genre stories, I greatly enjoyed the human and self-awareness of this witty tale. The story jumps back and forth between the handbook itself, and an amnesiac man who awakes in medieval England with only a half-fried handbook to guide him into the weird and wonderful world of wizardry.
The ending was surprisingly different than the usual Sanderson fare, and I love how this book—unlike Sanderson's other work in a sweeping Cosmere—stands on its own.
