Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection by Brandon Sanderson

informative mysterious medium-paced

4.0

A great collection of stories in the Cosmere. I also love the information in the prefaces and Star system maps that we get for the Cosmere. Really informative and eye-opening. It was also really neat to get postcript reflections from Brandon after each story. Really great stuff.

Ratings for the stories in Arcanum Unbounded:

  • The Emperor's Soul - 5/5
  • The Hope of Elantris - 3/5
  • The Eleventh Metal - 3.5/5
  • Allomancer Jak and The Pits of Eltania - 1.5/5
  • Mistborn: Secret History - 4/5
  • White Sand Excerpt - 3.25/5
  • Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell - 4/5
  • Sixth of Dusk - 3.5/5
  • Edgedancer - 4/5

To be clear, none of these stories are downright bad (except for the Allomancer Jak story). There's some excellent stuff in this collection.
