Fiction. Science Fiction. New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson is widely celebrated for his Mistborn Trilogy and contribution to the final three books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

Shai is a forger: using a mixture of magic and art, she can make an expert copy of just about anything. When she is caught in the emperor's palace (on a heist involving a priceless painting and a royal treasure), she is imprisoned and expects to be executes. Instead, the emperor's closest advisers
This novella is set in the Elantris universe, but it is not necessary to read Elantris before reading The Emperor's Soul. This little book is complete in itself, with a unique and fully realized magic system (Sanderson's specialty) and detailed, interesting characters -- plus a fast-moving plot, which is surprising since the main character is imprisoned for most of the book. Highly recommended -- in fact, I'd recommend this as a good introduction to Sanderson's writing for those who might be put off by more lengthy tomes like Mistborn or The Way of Kings.

set her a task more challenging than any she has yet faced: to forge a new copy of the emperor's soul. The emperor sustained a near-fatal injury in an assassination attempt, and while the royal healers were able to repair his body, he is now basically brain-dead. Shai has just a few months to complete this incredibly complex task -- to forge a copy of a soul, she must know everything there is to know about the person in question. Usually Forgers only replicate their own souls, and even that is a task that can take years. Shai doesn't have years -- in fact, she suspects that she doesn't have even the three months they have given her, because what is the likelihood that a forger who has copied the emperor's soul will be allowed to live after the task is completed? In addition to making the forgery, Shai must find a way to escape her prison. It's not going to be easy, but escape is her only hope of survival. And successfully forging the emperor's soul is the only thing that can prevent the country from sinking into civil war.This novella is set in the Elantris universe, but it is not necessary to read Elantris before reading The Emperor's Soul.

Sanderson’s talent for setting up interesting magical rules is on display in this short book about a Forger, someone whose magical talent is to rewrite the history of objects—and even people—to make them different, thus allowing them to transform. In an empire in which Forgery of souls is the

Though the book could’ve used one more editing run to remove a couple of ‘as you know, Bob’ awkward bits, it was a quick enough read, and seems to represent Sanderson’s version of magic as storytelling/storytelling as magic.

It wasn’t what I’ve come to expect from Brandon Sanderson – namely, it was short. It’s a 175 page novella that takes under two hours to read. And it’s wonderful.

Enter Shai. She’s an amazingly gifted thief and Forger who’s been caught and condemned to die. But instead, she’s offered an opportunity. She can save herself by crafting a new soul for the emperor.
This is what’s so great about the story. To craft his soul, Shai must well and truly understand him, probably even better than he understood himself. She must also deal with those who question the value of her art – is she truly creating? Or is she merely copying?
All in all, it’s an amazing story, especially for one so short. In just 175 pages, Sanderson is able to create a world complete with an original magic system (of course!) and a cast (albeit limited) of vivid characters. Shai’s got to be one of my favorite Sanderson characters. There’s an emotional depth to her that I don’t always feel with the others.

Very interesting. An odd twist - in general, I really dislike stories where everyone's plotting, where what I the read knows may be flat-out false, because it was presented in the story by a character with a reason to lie. In this one, everyone's plotting - but the twistiest plotter of them all
Show More
(who is also the primary viewpoint character) discovers that her best hope of getting through the mess she's in is being pretty much honest. With certain people, admittedly - she does plenty of lying, directly and by omission, to others. But she declares internally that she's lying and what the truth is, most times. And what she's pretty sure the truth is when someone else is lying to her. So I the reader have solid ground in this morass of plots and lies, and I found it quite comfortable. That aside - a fascinating magic structure (which is apparently used in another book/series as well - I haven't read nearly enough Sandersons), an equally fascinating social structure, well-developed and interesting characters, a highly complex situation resolved not merely neatly but beautifully. I'm not sure I'll want to reread - on the other hand, I may find the story and characters sneaking into my brain at odd hours, which usually calls for a reread. In either case, I'm very glad I read it. Show Less

Oh, Brandon Sanderson, how I love thee. Here's the thing, when I read a book like The Way of Kings, I'm not surprised in the least that he can capture me so completely with his characters, story and world building. After all, that tome is more than a thousand pages long. No, what really amazes me
I held off on reading this until I finished Elantris, since I'd heard that it takes place in the same world, but in the end it didn't matter at all. The Emperor's Soul features a whole new cast of characters, set in another place, perhaps in another time. In fact, only passing mentions of certain geographic locations in the story's world reminded me that it was the same universe.
Anyway, I'll admit that maybe being an artist, especially one who is familiar with Chinese brush painting and the use and significance of artist seals, made me like this novella even more.

character, but I found her constant explanations to the reader of how the magic system worked disruptive in terms of identifying closely with her as a character. In other contexts, Sanderson has been able to use the interaction of multiple characters to explain the magic system, and when he did that here it worked best. Too often, though, Shai "thought" things she just didn't have any reason to think about at this point in her long career, and it was too-obviously expositional material for the reader, and it pulled me out of the story. I actually think Legion was much better in this regard, and on the whole a much stronger piece of short fiction for it. Show Less

Review: Well, Legion suggested it, but The Emperor's Soul confirmed it: Brandon Sanderson can do fantasy just as well in 150 pages as he can in 1000 pages. This little novella really highlight's Sanderson's skill at worldbuilding, especially in terms of creating a magical system that's logical and internally consistent but still incredibly inventive. In this case, the world's not particularly broad - we barely get to see outside the imperial residence, but the real focus is on the construction and use of the soulstamps. Technically, The Emperor's Soul is set in the same world as Elantris, but it's been many years since I've read Elantris, and while I can see the similarities - magic through symbols/drawings - it's perfectly understandable on its own. Sanderson keeps the story moving along pretty quickly, adding in plenty of scheming and escape plans and interesting character development as he goes. It's a short book, and fast reading (I read it in less than two hours, on Thanksgiving morning), but it's the perfect length to fit the story it has to tell. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Recommendation: Recommended to Sanderson fans, for sure, but this would also be a fine (and quick) introduction to his work and his worldbuilding for a fantasy reader who hasn't read Sanderson yet.

This is a fantastic novella set in the Elantris world. Despite it’s short length this story was complex, intriguing, and just absolutely magical and engaging.
Shai was caught attempting to Forge the emperor’s scepter. Shai is a Forger who can copy or re-create anything by rewriting its history
This was a fantastic novella. I loved the plot, the unique magic system and how real and wonderful all of the characters were. I am always amazed at what such a wonderful and complex story Sanderson can pack into such a short space.
Shai is obviously a genius at Forging. The concept that things and items have memories and want to be better is a main driver behind how she Forges them and this is an interesting concept. Shai is obviously upset at being forced to help her captors, but at the same time she is eager to unravel a challenge that no one has faced before. Shai has Forged her own soul, but no one has ever Forged a new soul for someone else.
In preparation to Forge the Emperor’s soul Shai must become familiar with every small thought the Emperor ever had and every small thing that happened in his life. This has to be believable and so Shai must understand the Emperor and his motives completely before attempting the Forging. It is fascinating to watch as Shai unravels the Emperor’s life.
Shai is so smart and so accomplished at what she does. I enjoyed reading about her struggle between wanting to be free and wanting to do something spectacular that has never been done before.
Really this was a fantastic read, it was completely gripping and very hard to put down. You are trying to guess through the whole book what Shai will do. Will she complete the Forgery of the Emperor’s Soul? Will she alter it in anyway? She really has all of the power here and the ability to change the future of the nation.
