This week on Down the Stacks, for the first time I return to an author I’ve previously featured: Brandon Sanderson. As I’ve said before, Sanderson is one of my all-time favorites because of his world-building and ability to hold his readers’s interest through hundreds of pages. This week’s selection, The Emperor’s Soul, is a much lighter affair, clocking in at a modest 167 pages. Despite its brevity, however, The Emperor’s Soul still has most of the hallmarks of Sanderson’s writing.

Read on as I try to sort out the puzzle pieces.
