Roman Kurys’s Reviews > Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection > Status Update

Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell story was pretty solid. I really like the ideas of how different each world is in Cosmere and how they all are a part of the universe. The shades concept is intriguing. My only issue is: too short. I just don’t seem to be able to make myself enjoy short stories as much as I do novels.

Why...is the White Sand only partly included...beats me. All the other stories are complete. White Sand: let’s give you 1/3 of the thing. Seems reasonable.

I’ve got to say that the short stories in here aren’t really it for me. Although Sanderson wrote them as random side pieces for various games etc etc so it makes sense.
Maybe White Sand will be better.

I’ve got to say “Emperor’s Soul” caught me very much off guard. It is different. Very different. And it does not disappoint. I find myself fascinated by this story.
