Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection (The Cosmere) by Brandon Sanderson @TorBooks #BookReview

 
Brandon Sanderson's first story collection: novellas and short stories set in the Shardworlds, the worlds of Stormlight, Mistborn, Elantris, and more.

An all-new Stormlight Archive novella will be the crown jewel of Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection, the first book of short fiction by #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

The collection will include eight works in all. The first seven are:
“The Hope of Elantris” (Elantris)
“The Eleventh Metal” (Mistborn)
“The Emperor's Soul” (Elantris)
“Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Epsiodes 28 through 30” (Mistborn)
“Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell” (Threnody)
“Sixth of Dusk” (First of the Sun)
“Mistborn: Secret History” (Mistborn)

Originally published on Tor.com and other websites, or published by the author, these wonderful tales convey the expanse of the Shardworlds and tell exciting tales of adventure Sanderson fans have come to expect, including the Hugo Award-winning novella, “The Emperor's Soul.”

Arcanum Unbounded will also contain a currently untitled Stormlight Archive novella which will appear in this book for the first time anywhere.





BRANDON SANDERSON grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He lives in Utah with his wife and children and teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University. In addition to completing Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time®, he is the author of such bestsellers as the Mistborn trilogy, Warbreaker, The Alloy of Law, The Way of Kings, Rithmatist, and Steelheart. He won the 2013 Hugo Award for "The Emperor's Soul," a novella set in the world of his acclaimed first novel, Elantris.


This book is massive!! I kinda wish they would have released it in two vol. that way it would have been slightly less huge!!  

This book as a whole was freaking amazing!!! Each short story stands on its own two feet and well you won't be able to put it down. And if you hold it the entire time you won't be able to put your arms down either.  Its good for a work out though! 

This collection of stories each one is based on its Shardworld (had to ask about that one) We get in-depth information that any fan will totally fangirl or fanguy over (don't try to lie out of it you know you will be doing it!!!) There are wonderful illustrations and more in this massive volume. 

My fav story out of this is the one that ties into Mistborn which was one of my fav. books I've read.  This book is a great collection and is def. for the fan of Sanderson!  New readers might find it a little much to start with but by the end they will be buying up the others from this author!
