I'm thinking of Emperor's Soul, Steelheart, and The Rithmatist, specifically.

All three have cool sounding concepts (you have to admit, whatever you think of Sanderson, he has a lot of cool concepts).

How are the books?


Also, I know it's a bit late, but I thought Legion was really cool. I kind of want it to be a TV series.


I heard mixed reviews about Steelheart and the bit I read of it didn't fascinate me that much to I didn't feel like continuing at the moment. I heard Emperor's Soul was pretty good and it apparently is related to some stuff from Elantris? It also takes place in the Cosmere, so it's worth a read based on that alone, not to mention it's ultra short. It's high on my reading list right now. If you're looking to read one of these, I'd probably start with this one.

I don't know if Steelheart is based in the Cosmere... if it's not, I probably won't read it for a long time. Don't know anything about Rithmatist so I won't comment on it.

I am guessing - Sandersonian? In better news, "Skin Game" has a release date... Cannoli - 21/12/2013 12:13:00 AM 1186 Views

Thanks so much Marshall - 31/12/2013 07:06:02 PM 1396 Views
Isn't his problem that the concepts are better than the realization? Artsapat - 24/12/2013 09:11:21 AM 1158 Views
He wrote three? *NM* beetnemesis - 24/12/2013 07:10:32 PM 523 Views
Elantris is one of his weakest books, I'd say, so if you liked it you'll probably like the rest. *NM* Nate - 26/12/2013 01:58:31 AM 565 Views
Of these, I've only read Steelheart. My take: Nate - 26/12/2013 02:05:30 AM 1162 Views
