La novela basada en el videojuego que triunfa en la red: Infinity Blade. Una historia que profundiza en este fantástico mundo de intriga y misterio donde la magia y la tecnología son indistinguibles e incluso la vida y la muerte no son lo que parecen. De la mano del maestro de la epic fantasy Brandon Sanderson. Adiestrado desde su nacimiento en esgrima y combate, un joven caballero llamado Siris ha luchado ferozmente para poder enfrentarse al tiránico Rey Dios en un combate cara a cara. Esta es la misión que ha heredado de toda su estirpe y que se remonta a incontables generaciones, en un continuo esfuerzo por liberar a su pueblo de la esclavitud. Pero cuando finalmente parece lograr su cometido, Siris se verá de pronto arrojado a un mundo mucho más peligroso, lleno de guerreros, ladrones, antiguos conflictos, peleas y alianzas cambiantes, entre mortales, inmortales y aspirantes a reyes. Sus ansias de libertad le llevarán a un viaje épico en busca de un ser -el único ser en el mundo- que podrá desentrañar los verdaderos secretos de Infinity Blade, la Espada Infinita. Reseñas: «Brandon Sanderson es una leyenda.» Alexelcapo, @EvilAFM «La mejor adaptación de un videojuego. Lo que la hace tan brillante es el sublime talento de Sanderson para la construcción de personajes que exploran el mundo que él mismo ha creado. Una gran historia. Y aunque no hayas jugado nunca a Infinity Blade, este libro te atrapará desde la primera página.» Fantasy Book Critic

This is almost close to 4.5 stars. It was very short and enjoyable.
Sirus and Essa (?) were really good characters. Their interactions were funny. The whole mystery surrounding the deathless was so well written.
The God King and the Infinity Blade kept reminding me of Warbreaker and Nightblood (same vibes).
The ending was typical Brandon, completely woah. I know nothing about the actual video game but this short story was amazing.
Nice short story, really left me wanting to know more about the characters and story. Looking forward to more!
I definitely wasn't expecting much out of this, considering the game that inspired it. I'm now intrigued by the world that the game creators envisioned and how Sanderson managed to bring it to life. It managed to turn my preconceptions regarding the back story and setting around in a happily unexpected way.
The book sort of continues from where the Infinity Blade game logically concluded (the game itself is designed to go on indefinitely). The author injected life into an otherwise unknown protagonist, providing believeable motivations and a nice plot.
The finale wasn't particulalrly exciting but it did sort of provide a satisfying conclusion to the story arc presented in this story. The twist at the end wasn't wholly unexpected but it does nicely set things up for future possibilities. Overall it was a really good and satisfying read.
I have not played the game, but this was written by Brandon Sanderson... I don't think I need to explain more.
I highly enjoyed this audiobook. It made me want to play the game (even though I don't play games). But the one thing that bothers me is that I won't have a closure with the plot. Still, it was a very entertaining novella.
