Welcome to New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson's first collection of short fiction.

These wonderful works, originally published individually, have been collected for the first time and convey the true expanse of the Cosmere. Telling the exciting tales of adventure Sanderson fans have come to expect, Arcanum Unbounded include the Hugo Award-winning novella 'The Emperor's Soul', an excerpt from the graphic novel 'White Sand', and the never-before-published Stormlight Archive novella 'Edgedancer'.

The collection will include nine works in all:
'Edgedancer' (Stormlight Archive)
'The Hope of Elantris' (Elantris)
'The Eleventh Metal' (Mistborn)
'The Emperor's Soul' (Elantris)
'Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania' (excerpt; Mistborn)
'White Sand' (excerpt; Taldain)
'Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell' (Threnody)
'Sixth of Dusk' (First of the Sun)
'Mistborn: Secret History' (Mistborn)

This superb collection also includes essays and illustrations which offer an insight into the numerous worlds in which the stories are set.©2016 Brandon Sanderson

All stars
Most relevant
I enjoyed most of the extraordinary stories and wonderful characters. Especially the ones of worlds and places not explored before in Sanderson's main books.
It was very engaging to get some in depth views of the Cosmere and its inhabitants, filling in some gaps in the main story lines.
However, there was one story (on Elantris) I really couldn't get into and the big revelation on Kelsir felt a little bit like cheating, diminishing the efforts, sorrows and successes of the other characters in the first Mistborn trilogy.
Overall, this was an awesome read.
