Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Emperor's Soul (Elantris)
Also available in Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection.A heretic thief is the empire’s only hope in this fascinating tale that inhabits the same world as the popular novel, Elantris.
Shai is a Forger, a foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its history with skillful magic. Condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor’s scepter, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Though her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who is almost dead.
Probing deeply into his life, she discovers Emperor Ashravan’s truest nature—and the opportunity to exploit it. Her only possible ally is one who is truly loyal to the emperor, but councilor Gaotona must overcome his prejudices to understand that Shai’s forgery is as much artistry as it is deception.
Brimming with magic and political intrigue, this deftly woven fantasy delves into the essence of a living spirit.

*3/28/2020Second read. Just as amazing. ________________________________ "The Emperor's Soul" deserves all of the stars. All of the praise. There was rarely an obvious branching point in a person's life. People changed slowly, over time. You didn't take on step, then find yourself in a completely new location. Then you stopped paying attention as you drifted farther and farther away. You know what this book's only flaw is? It's way too short.Oh, don't worry, the story is all perfectly wrappedWow. Just wow. Where does this man get all his fancy ideas from, and how can he fit them, like in this case, on not even 200 pages?
Absolutely FLAWLESS novella. Take note other authors. Picture above by Dominik BroniekJust realized I never wrote a review on this one, but I am not going to either as my friend Alexa's thoughts on this one mirror my own perfectly. Check it out here Addition as posted on Brandon's website.The Emperors Soul Deleted Prologue: Imperial FoolNote: Its best if you have read The Emperors Soul before you read this deleted prologue.Shai pressed her fingernail into one of the stone blocks of her prison
Her aunt Sol had once told Shai to smile at the worst insults and snap at the minor ones. That way, no man would know your heart. Well, shit. *screams* *flips a desk* *karate chops the air**flips another desk because why not*I justThe Emperor's Soul, has been on my radar for quite awhile AND I thought it'd be a great idea to pick it up during the most crucial time of my life : Exam week. I'm 1000000% sure I'm going to complain about why I did this to myself BUT you know what ??? I have no
What if you could create anything? Or more specifically, what if you could change the history of an object and essentially recreate what it believes it is?All you need is a little Titanium White...Ok. Maybe not. Shai is a Forger who got pinched by the Imperial po-po while trying to steal some of their shit, and now, in exchange for her freedom, she's been tasked with recreating the Emperor's Soul!Which, in case you were wondering is why the book is titled, The Emperor's Soul.Now, she's got to do
(I read this in Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection)Absolutely incredible. Apparently, 105 pages are sufficient for Sanderson to craft a fantastic story with a strong beginning, wonderful characterizations, memorable climax scene, and a satisfying conclusion.The Emperor's Soul has become my favorite novella of all time; it has qualities that surpassed a lot of other fantasy novels Ive read.I wont go into any details on what the plot is, its only 100 pages long, try to jump into this story
What a brilliant imagination Brandon Sanderson has!!! This book was AMAZING! Wan ShaiLu, was more than a simple con artist. So much more. She could change the nature of reality itself. Imagine a world where there are Forgers who can change/rewrite the nature of objects and even of a person by using a Soulstamp. Wan ShaiLu is such a forger, one of the best there is. And when shes caught replacing a famous painting with her almost flawless forgery, instead of being executed shes offered a deal
