My thoughts:
“The Emperor’s Soul” (Elantris)
I did not read it as I have read it before. Check my thoughts there.
“The Hope of Elantris” (Elantris)
I guess ok. Nothing special. A short story. I did feel like I should have read Elantris before and no years before.
“The Eleventh Metal” (Mistborn)
Eh, nothing special here either. Kelsier training...yup
“Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Episodes 28 through 30” (Mistborn)
I do not seem to be a fan of his short stories. They just feel ok all of them. Though this one would have worked as a graphic novel.
"A secret history" Mistborn
A long one, and I thought it would be meh, but it seems shorts one are eh, but long ones are better. Kelsier's story behind the scenes.
“White Sand” (excerpt; Taldain)
Ohhh a graphic novel. Very cool.
“Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell” (Threnody)
I have read this one before. Check it there.
“Sixth of Dusk” (First of the Sun)
This was an interesting world, I would like to see more from it.
Edgedancer
I liked this story and I reeeeeally makes me want to read Oathbringer
Conclusion:
As they got longer they got better. Sanderson needs to write long ones cos he needs his world. He excels there.
