![]() ![]() The Rithmatists are individuals who possess the ability to give life to the chalk lines they draw. The Rithmatist takes place in a steampunk-esque world filled with all sorts of spring and clockwork powered devices. My anticipation may have been set a little too high for this because although I enjoyed it and was awed by the intricacy of Sanderson’s renowned world-building, I still felt slightly underwhelmed. I was thrilled to spot The Rithmatist at my library and immediately grabbed it off the shelf. Review: As a huge fantasy fan, I’d wanted to check out Brandon Sanderson’s books for a long time (and I WILL read you one day, Mistborn trilogy! I promise.). Not being a Rithmatist doesn’t discourage Joel from learning as much as he can about the subject, and his extensive knowledge becomes vital to solving the mystery behind the disappearances of some of the school’s pupils. He is one of the normal students at Armedius Academy, which also provides its Rithmatist students with a specialized education. ![]() His dream appears to be out of reach, though, because Rithmatists are chosen at an early age, and Joel was not selected. ![]() To Sum It Up: All Joel has ever wanted is to be a Rithmatist-a member of an elite group who can bring chalk drawings to life. ![]()
