[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13578175-the-emperor-s-soul):
|
|
|
|
|
A heretic thief is the empire’s only hope in this fascinating tale that
|
|
|
|
|
inhabits the same world as the popular novel, Elantris.

I got this book from a Humble Bundle of Scifi/Fantasy. It fits in the later
|
|
|
|
|
than in the former.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest problem I found was that the story starts midway. Surely, this is
|
|
|
|
|
not something new, as other books take the same approach and then, slowly,
|
|
|
|
|
expand the reader knowledge about the story universe. But the problem here is
|
|
|
|
|
"slowly". Part of what is going on (and *why* is going on) is told very late
|
|
|
|
|
in the story.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the end, although manages to capture your attention, is cliche at best.
