Ep. 1 - The Emperor's Soul - Prologue - Day 5 | Brandon Sanderson

Welcome to the book club! When we started this book club, we had no idea it would be a podcast, but here we are! About Us: ADHD Book Club is a podcast that celebrates reading and neurodiversity. We're a group of friends who are always on the lookout for good books, but we know that life can get busy and overwhelming. That's why we've designed our book club to be ADHD-friendly: we read small, manageable chunks of books and then come together on the podcast to discuss them. Our conversations are lively, unscripted, and sometimes chaotic, but always honest and insightful. We share our personal perspectives, ask each other thought-provoking questions, and let our brains wander wherever they may. Whether you're neurodivergent or not, if you love books and want to join a community that celebrates reading in all its forms, then come along and join the ADHD Book Club!

It's a fantastic novella set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, his own universe, which many of his books exist in. A heretic thief is the empire’s only hope in this fascinating tale that inhabits the same world as the popular novel, Elantris.Shai is a Forger, a foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its history with skillful magic. Condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor’s scepter, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Though her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who is almost dead. Probing deeply into his life, she discovers Emperor Ashravan’s truest nature—and the opportunity to exploit it. Her only possible ally is one who is truly loyal to the emperor, but councilor Gaotona must overcome his prejudices to understand that Shai’s forgery is as much artistry as it is deception. Brimming with magic and political intrigue, this deftly woven fantasy delves into the essence of a living spirit.
