It's only flaw is that it is not more of it
Published by Joseph the Nerd , 7 years ago
The Emperor's Soul is a short story. It is also stunning and beautiful, and is one of my favorite works by Brandon Sanderson. In the brief span of it's pages, Sanderson thoroughly develops and explains the system(s) of magic used, the political culture of the nation, and the characters we see existing within. The story is not limited by its length, but seems to be all the more impressive because of how deftly it accomplishes telling its tale in such a short time.
This short story is included in Arcanum Unbounded. I recommend buying purchasing that instead and getting many Sanderson short stories instead of just one, though personally I loved this story enough to buy both.
