I was never interested in reading this book because the original cover really put me off. I don't like the cover art; I find it really ugly. How stupid I was. This is why you should never judge a book by its cover.
This short story by Sanderson is one of the greatest I've ever read. It's absolutely amazing how he managed to craft such an intricate and fascinating plot in such a short number of pages. The premise of this book is so original and interesting. You should never doubt his abilities as an author; he truly is one of the best.
The magic system in this story is top notch. One of the most originals I've read. I want to read more of it. I want a million books set in this world and with this magic system. I need to smoke it, snort it, inject it.
I don't have much else to say about The Emperor's Soul other than it was brilliant in every way and that you should read it. Right now. Go on Kindle and read it. I'm waiting.
Now I want to talk about the audio book by GraphicAudio. I absolutely love it. I love love love love love love love love love love love love it. I love it more than life itself. Their work is of such high quality: the narration, the different voice actors (I particularly really enjoyed Shai's voice and accent), the sound effects, the music, it's all amazing. I can't stress it enough. Everyone should listen to their audiobooks. They upgrade the reading experience and make you enjoy the book so much more.
