junglejam 's review for:
The Emperor's Soul
by Brandon Sanderson
After reading and not liking Elantris that much I did not have high hopes for The Emperor’s Soul that is set in the same world as Elantris, but I was surprised by how much I liked it.
The plot and magic system is super interesting and unique. The characters are likable and I was convinced that Shai was clever - it is always a disappointment when supposed clever characters feel stupid. The pace was what really drove me, each chapter was a page turner. The themes that were touched upon were also interesting. The writing was decent, better than Elantris at least, so that was nice. All in all I thought it was a great short story.
