This novella shows why Brandon Sanderson is one of the best storytellers of his day and will be for many years to come.The story is a "filler" between two video games but, most importantly, you don't need to have played the game to be able to enjoy the story.Set in a fantasy setting with strong science links, it is the story of Siris, trained from childhood for only one purpose - to be the sacrifice who will travel to the dark citadel to fight the immortal God King. It begins with the unthinkable - Siris returns to his village after killing the God King and taking his sword. His people are not willing to accept their freedom so send him away and Siris sets off on a quest for the answers, starting with a return to the Dark Citadel.The characters are well written and interact well together, the banter is good and the author draws a vivid picture with his words.My only downer on this is that it is only going to be a one off - I really didn't want this to end and would love to go back and find out more about Siris and Isa (and the quite amazing TEL - what a creation he is)Well done again Mr Sanderson
