A review by petrusian
The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

Wow, this story blew me away. After getting used to each of Sanderson's works needing 25+ hours to tell a dramatic tale, this tale does it all and more in just under 4 hours. The introspection, analysis of self and the journey of life and lives is so dense, so powerful and so very moving in this short story of a master forger given an impossible task.

"True art was more than beauty; it was more than technique. It was not just imitation. It was boldness, it was contrast, it was subtlety."
