Ratings and reviews

Sanderson. The Sultan of Secrets, the Warlord of Worldbuilding. If you're at all like me, and have read more than just one of his series, this is a must read. With entries from settings we've never seen before, to backgrounds on characters that begged for attention, this anthology has something for every fan of Sanderson's cosmere. (A side note, which doesn't affect the quality of the work: DO NOT READ THIS until you have read AT LEAST the currently available installments of the Mistborn Trilogies.)

I've been a bit Sanderson fan for the past couple of years, reading all his main books in the 'Cosmere.' This however was great in filling in the tiny niches and crevices to explain more of the overall story that's only hinted at in the main books. I would warn that there is a graphic novel in here and that Google Play books displays it oddly. I would recommend downloading the offline version after you purchase and open it up in a dedicated book reader application for that portion.

Great Read Again. It Helps Fill In Holes In The Cosmere For People Like Me Who First Started Reading Sanderson Cosmere Books With The Stormlight Archive.
