The Emperor's Soul is the first book by Brandon Sanderson that I've ever read. And I really, really enjoyed it. The Emperor's Soul is the story of Shai, a forger. She was caught while trying to steal the Emperor's scepter and is given an intriguing offer: she needs to reforge the Emperor's soul or else she will be killed. Shai jumps into the challenge, deciding that rather than just building a forged thing, and by extension making a puppet emperor, she will attempt to make the new soul as authentic as possible.
The Emperor's Soul was a short read, but it was one of the best books I've read in a long while. I liked it so much that I went to The World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto and bought Elantris. I'm really looking forward to reading more books by Sanderson.
