I've officially finished reading all the Cosmere books published until now. I don't know what to do with my life...
A fantastic taste of many tales. I'd recommend this to all Sanderson fans...just be cautious of spoilers if you haven't read the other stories in several series.
Excellent collection if you're a fan of Sanderson. The Emperor's Soul was the standout story for me, and Edgedancer was a fun side story in the Stormlight Archive series. Glad I read them
