Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon SandersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sanderson’s latest Secret Project, released as part of his fundraiser for the leather bound edition of Words of Radiance, follows in the footsteps of The Sunlit Man as it delves into the far future of the Cosmere. Expanding on his previous novella “Sixth of the Dusk” with the title character one of many in focus, Sanderson also sets up a future clash between Roshar and Scadrial in particular, planting seeds for what to expect in the upcoming future arcs of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. While this book proves long and meandering, and at times difficult to maintain interest in, it’s one scene in particular that bumps this up from 3.5 to 4. And as you can imagine, it’s another one of Hoid’s greatest hits, that wily old trickster God (no seriously, that’s how I’ve come to see him at this point.)
