While a small part of Yumi and the Nightmare Painter loses its charms through (very, very minor) narrative inconsistencies, like Yumi being somehow familiar with some concepts when it makes for a cute moment and totally unfamiliar with others when it doesn’t, the overall story is incredibly charming and accessible, as with many of Sanderson's works, but particularly with the Secret Project novels. This book brought me some much needed levity given my recent reads, and I'm grateful for its lighthearted tone!
