The Frugal Wizard's Guide for Surviving Medieval England

Oh geeze, I forgot to write about The Frugal Wizard's Guide for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson.

The Frugal Wizard's Guide for Surviving Medieval England is another one Sanderson's Secret Projects books. I wasn't really sure what I would think of it (I wasn't immediately grabbed by the title and premise like I was with the other two Secret Project books I've read). But I needn't have worried: The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England hooked me from start to finish!

The book starts out with the main character awakening with no memory of who he is, where he is, or why he is there. Around him he finds only pages of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, a guidebook that explains that he is in a multiverse, and Frugal Wizard TM has found a set of dimensions that resemble medieval England in our world; Frugal Wizard TM sells the dimensions to people so they can be the hero of their very own world. You see, the people from his world are advanced, with nanobots and other augments, so even though they might be ordinary in their time and world, they are extraordinary in a medieval setting. But our hero is not alone; he discovers that there are others from his time who are here and are looking at conquering the world. Piecing together who he is and why he's here, he needs to figure out who he is and what he's willing to do for this new world he's found himself on.

Once again, I enjoyed all the characters. The setting was a lot of fun (I really liked how the chapters were interspersed with pages from the actual Frugal Wizard's Guide to Medieval England - it was fun, and the drawings were fantastic!) I really enjoy Sanderson's writing, and I'm looking forward to reading The Sunlit Man (though I intend to keep it for a time when I need a good read, rather than jumping straight into it right now).
