Sanderson is an exceptionally talented writer . . . The Emperor's Soul is one of those rare fantasies that feels fresh and is filled with a sense of wonder

One of my favorites

I’ve nearly read all of Sando’s released books. This one is one of my favorites. And it’s only a short story! Love the intertwined artistic and psychological elements.

I enjoyed the performance. Good cadence and enjoyable character voices.

Great story, well crafted

The Emperor's Soul is another well crafted story by Brandon Sanderson. Shai a master forger is captured and held prisoner in the palace where she is enlisted to forge the emperor's soul before his 100 day mourning period is over and the truth about him is revealed to his rivals. Great narration by Angela Lin.

Captivating

Drew me in right away with a brilliant main character and interesting investiture. Great novella.
