The collection will include nine works in all. The first eight are: "The Hope of Elantris" (Elantris) "The Eleventh Metal" (Mistborn) "The Emperor's Soul" (Elantris) "Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Episodes 28 through 30" (Mistborn) "White Sand" (excerpt; Taldain) "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" (Threnody) "Sixth of Dusk" (First of the Sun) "Mistborn: Secret History" (Mistborn) These wonderful works, originally published on Tor.com and elsewhere individually, convey the expanse of the Cosmere and tell exciting tales of adventure Sanderson fans have come to expect, including the Hugo Award-winning novella, "The Emperor's Soul" and an excerpt from the graphic novel "White Sand." Arcanum Unbounded will also contain the Stormlight Archive novella "Edgedancer," which will appear in this book for the first time anywhere.

Reviews with the most likes.
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.
Favorites in order:
1. Shadows for Silence in The Forests of Hell
2. Emperor's Soul
3. Sixth of Dusk
4. Mistborn: Secret History
5. Edgedancer
6. White Sand
7. Hope of Elantris
8. Eleventh Metal
9. Allomancer Jak and The Pits of Eltania
Only the last two were a bit weak so overall 5 stars.
I so badly want to read more about Threnodite and Drominad systems!!!
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
