Kõik lood kogumikus toimuvad ühes universumis, mis tõttu on raske enamikke lugusid siit soovitada, sest nende õigeks nautimiseks, peab eelnevalt palju teisi raamatuid lugema. Aga tooks välja kolm juttu, mida saaks lugeda ilma igasugu lisainfota Cosmere-i kohta: “The Emperor's Soul”, “Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell”, “Sixth of Dusk”.
“The Emperor's Soul” on põnev lugu, kuidas peategelane peab päästma imperaatori elu, kasutades oma oskusi valmistada templeid, mis muudab objektide välimust, nagu neil olesks teistsugune minevik olnud. Eesmärk teha tempel, et muuta imperaatorit nii, nagu ta elu poleks ohus olnudki.
“Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell” on põnevik maailmast, kus metsades on kummitused, kes ründavad inimesi, kes läidevad leegi, jooksevad öösel, või veristavad kedagi teist.
“Sixth of Dusk” on väike vaade maailma, kus iga taim ja loom võib inimese kiirelt ära tappa.

Kõik need kolm juttu on hulga paremad, kui ma lühidalt ilma spoilerita neid kirjeldada oskan, ning soovitan kõigile, kes vähegi soovitusi kuulata viitsivad.

I liked the different short stories but since its a collection I do not want to give a general rating. But its a great look into the wider Cosmeer!
I also skipped a few stories while reading this edition since I'd read or listened to them (Mistborn: Secret History and Edgedancer) or am planning on reading the full story soon (Iles of the Emberdark contains Sixth of the Dusk).
