The Rithmatist, Brandon Sanderson's New York Times bestselling epic teen adventure is now available in paperback.More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity’s only defense against the Wild Chalklings. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles.
As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist students learn the magical art that he would do anything to practice. Then students start disappearing—kidnapped from their rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the trail of an unexpected discovery—one that will change Rithmatics—and their world—forever.

I think I should start every Sanderson review with: Brandon Sanderson does it again!There is a reason this guy is one of my favorite authors, he cannot disappoint.This book is all about expectations. Its Sandersons first try at YA and he did a great job making fantasy more accessible to a younger audience. For those who are used to Sandersons other adult works however, this may be a disappointment. The Rithmatist is a lot shorter than his other novels, with only 370 pages, large font andAfter reading a bit of the initial commentary on this book, some people mentioned that maybe there was a little too much focus on the magic system. Being a huge Sanderson fan, my thoughts were along the line of: there's no way, his magic is THE reason I love his novels, there's literally NO way.As it turns out, there does seem to be a way, although only just a bit.The magic of The Rithmatist is as creative as ever. I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again, Sanderson's magic really takes
"What good is having friends if they don't put you in mortal peril every once in a while?" I FLIPPING LOVE THIS BOOKThat's it.That's the review.
I don't know how Sanderson does it! To come up with a whole system of Rithmatics was brilliant. I didn't guess who the rogue Rithmatist was and I loved the main character Joel and his friend Melody working together. Looking forward to the sequel when it finally gets released.
*deep sigh*So, I've read 14 full-length novels and 2 novellas by Brandon Sanderson, and this is the one that didn't do it for me. My one glowing positive is that, once again, Sanderson presents his readers with a fascinating magic system. Think Chalk Zone with more violence!Rithmatists are a chosen elite, trained from a young age & charged with protecting civilization by way of breathing life into mathematically intricate chalk sketches. These sketches rely on the precision & intent of
[4.5 stars] I hope no one gets tired of hearing me say I read another Sanderson, and it was amazing! because I say it a lot.The Rithmatist, while not as sophisticated as some of Sandersons high fantasy (for obvious reasons), is still one of my new favorite works from him. The magic system was particularly fun to read about Rithmatists who duel one another using chalk drawings (ground wards for defense, animated chalk drawings for offense),and set in a school setting where they learn everything
A another mind blowing book.The Rithmatist, is a Young Adult fantasy. Sanderson hits all the right notes when it comes to all the usual YA themes; coming of age, the meaning of true friendship, loyalty, perseverance, and even a didactic against bullying.As expected in a Sanderson novel, the magic system is completely unique.The characters are a fun bunch to read about every one of them is unique with their distinct personalities and idiosyncrasies. Sanderson does a good job here and the
