Easily my favourite so far of Sanderson's novels - although this one was much shorter, a mere 100 or so pages. The Forgery magic system here is one I've found most intriguing - change through rewriting history. The re-building of a soul presents as spiritual challenge without becoming overtly religious, which is an aspect I found distracting in Sanderson's other books. 

Really hoping there will be more stories based here with the Forgery magic system and reading about Shai again would be a bonus!
