soumow 's review for:

The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson
4.5

Really liked this one. It’s a short novella with a smart, clever main character (Shai) who figures things out and always stays two steps ahead. The magic system was cool and different, and I liked how she pushed beyond just “doing the job” to actually challenge what it means to change someone’s soul.


It’s self-contained, but I appreciated how much character development and tension it fit into such a small space.
