À propos de cet audio
When Shai is caught replacing the Moon Scepter with her nearly flawless forgery, she must bargain for her life. An assassin has left the Emperor Ashravan without consciousness, a circumstance concealed only by the death of his wife. If the emperor does not emerge after his hundred-day mourning period, the rule of the Heritage Faction will be forfeit and the empire will fall into chaos.
Shai is given an impossible task: to create—to Forge—a new soul for the emperor in less than one hundred days. But her soul-Forgery is considered an abomination by her captors. She is confined to a tiny, dirty chamber, guarded by a man who hates her, spied upon by politicians, and trapped behind a door sealed in her own blood. Shai's only possible ally is the emperor's most loyal counselor, Gaotona, who struggles to understand her true talent.
Time is running out for Shai. Forging, while deducing the motivations of her captors, she needs a perfect plan to escape...

The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 312
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Very unique and interesting, set in Elantris world

I read this book years ago and just listened to it for the first time. The story is not only great to immerse yourself in, but it is also the kind of story your mind can dwell on. It is every bit as good as I remember it being. Maybe even better, because Angela Lin was the perfect choice for narrator.

Apparently this is set in the same world as Elantris, but although I've read that I would never have noticed and this is completely stand alone, no need to have ever read anything else by him. Sanderson is really into detailed systemic worldbuilding and magic systems that have rules so clearly defined that they could easily be translated into computer or board game systems. In his full length novels I sometimes find this a little TOO much, in all honesty - while it's nice to know the system is there and balanced, I don't necessarily need all the detail in the middle of the plot. This novella strikes the perfect balance of not going into TOO much detail, and tying the details that are given into the very center of the plot so that learning how it all works IS unravelling the plot and not just exposition for the sake of it.
I would snap up a sequel to this story in a heartbeat, and, although they're good, I wouldn't say that for any of Sanderson's other books that I've read. (Also, if you enjoy the heist-like suspense aspects of this book, you may also enjoy the Rogue's Republic series by Patrick Weekes, which I found myself thinking about throughout this book.) Anyway, if you're on the fence, definitely pick up this novella!
My favorite Sanderson story so far!
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The writing is outstanding, the plot is imaginative, and Sanderson's conceptualization of a politics-obsessed world is incredibly thought-provoking. The book doesn't have the whimsy of most Sanderson stories, but 'The Emperor's Soul' is thoroughly enjoyable.
As to presentation: Recorded Books Inc. did incredibly well casting Angela Lin to read the book. Her male voice interpretations are occasionally too "growly".. but her performance is otherwise solidly "above-average".
In toto, this Brandon Sanderson standalone novella merits 9/10-stars. It's a relatively short listen and well worth your attention.
Impressive Fantasy Novella
