5.0

This is extremely different from Sanderson’s other works, and I still think Tress will be my favorite of the secret projects, but there is not one single thing to complain about with this book. It is masterfully crafted and even more poignant at time of publication than at time of writing, considering the Strikes and issues with AI.
