"The forgery was a masterpiece, an almost perfect replica of a
priceless work of art. The minor inconsistencies were all but
impossible for even an expert to detect. However, Shai had been
betrayed. Now awaiting execution, Shai would be reprieved if she
could do the impossible. As a Forger, Shai is a skillful artist who
can apply complex magical glyphs to rewrite the history of the item
to change it completely. Although Forgers are despised, the Empire
needs Shai to accomplish the unthinkable: to Forge a new soul for
the Emperor. Verdict: Sanderson, the best-selling author of the
Mistborn Trilogy and The Way of Kings, has set this novella in the
same world as Elantris, one of his earlier novels, but it is
totally independent. Fantasy fans will love both the compelling
story and the creative magical setting."
-Library Journal "Sanderson proves to be an exceptionally talented
writer in the pages of this book ... The Emperor's Soul is one of
those rare high fantasies that feels fresh and is filled with a
sense of wonder."
-Charles de Lint, Fantasy & Science Fiction "The Emperor's Soul
ranks among the best work by Brandon Sanderson over his incredibly
prolific career."
-Grimdark Magazine "A fascinating study of clashing beliefs,
another inventive magic system, and highly entertaining action
sequence, The Emperor's Soul is the book I would recommend to
anyone who wants to find out for the first time what Sanderson is
all about."
-Fantasy Book Review "If you're going to pick up one book by
Brandon Sanderson, this should be it."

characters, and magic building."
