Lift Stormlight Novella for Arcanum Unbounded Is Complete (Updated)

Squeeee!!

Yay, this made my day!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the goodreads entry says it comes with Emperor's Soul, so it would seem it is truly comprehensive.

Nifty. I polled some other staffers and they weren't sure.

However, I am not sure how accurate the Goodreads page is (and where their source for that is). But I guess we can be reasonably sure it does contain Emperor's Soul now. So thank you!

For further confirmation, Rising Shadow has it including Emperor's Soul as well.

But that just copied from Goodreads, or this was the source of Goodreads.

(I have no doubt its right, I just am confused xD)

I just hope that there's a lot more material than what was already available for Kindle readers, as I throw my wallet at the monitor whenever Brandon releases a new short. And I'll buy this too. And he knows it.

I'm buying it because I like print books. There's something nice about paper, and it's easier to loan than e-books.

Don't forget that the original purpose of this book was to collect all the existing Cosmere short works into one volume, since right now they tend to be scattered out among a lot of anthologies his readers may or may not want to own. Brandon wanted it to have at least some new material to make it worthwhile for those who would buy it just on principle (like most of us!), but it's not intended to have a lot of new stuff. 

This is so exciting! =) I haven't been this excited about reading since Harry Potter - I'm so glad that this wonderful (and absolutely horrible) anticipation of book releases will continue for what sounds like the rest of my adult life! =)

Just to clarify: Did Amazon actually get it right with "Arcanum Unbounded"? Because I thought there was no 'ed' at the end there.

If the answer is 'Nobody Knows', that's fine, I'd just like to know.

Team Sanderson has referred to it as Arcanum Unbounded for a while.

I do understand you, though, because I prefer "Arcanum Unbound" greatly, but hey, it is what it is.

Ooo, I really want to get this! Lift is awesome(obviously) and I haven't had the chance to read any of the short stories yet, so this is perfect!

And I also love maps. That sounds amazing.

I've updated the above story to include info from Brandon's editor, Moshe, on this Lift story is huge! Longer than Emperor's Soul.

Just to clarify, the contents in Arcanum Unbounded:

Intro and Conclusion from Khriss, as well as an intro to each of the planets.

Lift Short Story (Roshar)

The Eleventh Metal (Scadrial)

Mistborn: Secret History (Scadrial)

Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania? (Scadrial)

Sixth of the Dusk (First of the Sun)

The Hope of Elantris (Sel)

The Emperor's Soul (Sel)

Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (Threnody)

Maybe something from Nalthis???

While I've read most of them, I'll probably still get it, because I read most of these through the library, and it would be great to actually own them.

You're missing The Eleventh Metal, an Allomancer Jak story, and The Hope of Elantris.

Thanks. I've updated the list.

And, I'm secretly hoping that he's got something from Vax that he's keeping close to his chest. He's namedropped it twice already, and this would be a good opportunity for an intro.

This is one of those publishing thing that makes me feel foolish for buying short story collections that had other authors stories in them that I wasn't interested in, especially since I need to buy this one to get the awesome Lift novella...

Yes!!!
