randon Sanderson's
Arcanum Unbounded
brings together eight short stories and additional plot lines which have previously been published. Also included is a completely new story,
Edgedancer
, tied to his
Stormlight Archive
series (featuring the popular character Lift).
T
he author's notes and explanations - detailing Brandon Sanderson's greater universe which connects all his stories - are also worth mentioning as a nice bit of world building for those who enjoy those details.
I
believe that some familiarity with Brandon Sanderson's main story lines is required to enjoy a few of these short stories (those pertaining to
Mistborn
and
Stormlight Archives
) but this collection also contains enough stand alone content to make it an enjoyable read for those new to the author.
H
owever, I would especially recommend this book for people (like myself) who have been following Brandon Sanderson's full body of work and are eager for more details concerning his many worlds.
