Brandon Sanderson never fails to give me a wonderful read.
The story of a Forger who can forge objects with a seal, is a wonderful concept for the use of magic in this world. Even though this is a novella, it is packed with suspense as to what will happen in the ending, as well as character development. You grow to want the main character to succeed in her plans, even though she still keeps a secret or two from the reader until the last possible moment. That is difficult to do in fiction, though Brandon Sanderson does it easily and enjoyably.
Great concept of magic, great story, very unique plot, all within an Asian infused (my opinion) world. Such a great novella, and I wish that there were more of this world beyond Elantris and The Emperor's Soul.
