The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

The Rithmatist

by Brandon Sanderson

A killer is on the loose...Joel is fascinated by the art of Rithmatics - with its lines of power and ability to bring chalk drawings to life - but only a few have the gift and he is not one of them. When Rithmatic students from Joel's school start disappearing, he is keen to investigate. Since he's not a Rithmatist, Joel seems to be safe - but others are dying. Can he find the killer before the killer realizes just what a threat Joel really is?

This was a very fun audiobook to listen to! I loved the narrator, he did amazing with all the characters voices. I really liked Melody, some of her comments had me laughing out loud and she was just a fun character to have around while kids were disappearing. The mystery part was great. I did not know who the Scribbler was until it was revealed. This was a very fun book overall!

I also checked the book out from the library because the book has illustrations that I wanted to see. It was hard for me to imagine what all the lines looked like, so it was nice to have the book as a reference for it all. I suggest if you listen to the audiobook, to find a way to look at the book also, because the illustrations really add to the story.
