Review: SHADOWS FOR SILENCE IN THE FORESTS OF HELL by Brandon Sanderson

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

In my effort to read all of Sanderson’s stories, I picked up this novella about a woman named Silence who’s a bounty hunter on a dangerous planet.

I liked this story a lot. It was neat how it started and ended with a chapter from Daggon’s perspective to frame the rest of the story from Silence’s point of view.

The characters were all great, and the world, almost entirely covered in forests, was really cool too. I would have liked to know more about the shades in the story, though. Brandon Sanderson always has such unique worlds and concepts and this is no different.

This is a self-contained story, but I would still like to see more of this planet that we only got a small glimpse of. I’m curious to see what other stories will take place in this world in the future. How is it important to the cosmere overall?

I don’t have much more to say about this novella other than that I really liked it and would recommend it.
