After reading The Lost Metal, I had to dive back into The Emperor's Soul, for reasons. And also I just really enjoy rereading Sanderson.

Rereading a book in the Cosmere universe is something of a wonder, especially a novella in one of my favorite worlds, Sel, Home of Elantris. Shai is one of the greatest female protagonists I've ever read. She's absolutely versatile and holds the talent of gold in her hands. A perfect representation of what female leads should be.

The second time around, I found I enjoyed The Emperor's Soul more than my initial read. It was one of the first stories I read in Arcanum Unbounded, and now it's one of the best in that collection. Now it's my final read of 2022.

Now it's time for Secret Project #1!
