Brilliant

Great books covering the series of books with added information. Not always easy to follow the pattern of the shards but wonderful imagination and characters to get to know

Excellent set of Novellas

For fans of Sanderson's Cosmere this is essential reading.
For anyone else - this is still excellent literature. Fun and fantastic.

For me it is the stories of Shai, Kelsior a and Lift that engage me the most. But all the novellas are the products of an artist at the top of his craft.

The selection of narrators are excellent?

Fantastic collection!

An absolute must read for the fans of the Cosmere stories. So much more information given along with new and old character expansions. Brilliant piece of work.

a nice appetizer

I'm really starting to enjoy Brandon's work. the Stormlight Archive is definitely my favourite, and 'Edgedancer' was great in that it answered some questions. I really look forward to the rest.
