Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection

Book cover for Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection

Probably a good book for those who've not read any of the stories. I'd previously read [b:The Emperor's Soul|13578175|The Emperor's Soul|Brandon Sanderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1343059311s/13578175.jpg|19161502], [b:Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell|21411388|Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell|Brandon Sanderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426179951s/21411388.jpg|40712188], and [b:Secret History|28698036|Secret History (Mistborn, #3.5)|Brandon Sanderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1453756231s/28698036.jpg|48896020]. The rest of the stories were a bit of a mixed bag, with Edgedancer being by far my favourite. Despite Lift's glaring similarities to David Reckoner, I really enjoyed reading the story; her voice was just so much fun.

The White Sand story was a welcome surprise. I enjoyed the comic quite a lot, and the unillustrated prose was a bonus. I found the two portions complemented each other quite nicely, and really piqued my interest in the world and its characters.

Most of the other material was fine, and didn't really do that much for me.
I wouldn't pick this up unless you're really behind on you Sanderson short fiction. Instead, cherry-pick the winners (Emperor's Soul, Edgedancer, and maybe White Sand or Shadows…).
