Infinity Blade Awakening eBook Brandon Sanderson Peter Ahlstrom Simon Hurley Geremy Mustard Donald Mustard

Siris’ lifelong training as the Sacrifice has paid off, only it turned out to be a little too good. He was only supposed to duel the God King and die honorably. He wasn’t supposed to actually win and kill a Deathless! Siris returns home with the God King’s Infinity Blade expecting a hero’s welcome, but instead he finds himself tactfully, but firmly, exiled and wandering away. Turns out the people of his village are afraid he’s only going to attract hordes of other Deathless in search of the blade. So Siris sets off to…well, he’s still trying to figure that out. Along the way he runs into Isa, a fortune hunter/assassin he gets along with pretty well when they aren’t trying to kill one another, and TEL, a golem someone’s obviously sent to spy on him. And on the journey Siris starts to figure out some surprising things about the God King, the Infinity Blade, and himself.

Let's be honest, books inspired by video games just don't scream original or quality literature. So even though I'm a huge Brandon Sanderson fan, this novella has been low on my to-read list. At least it was until a friend (also a Sanderson fan) told me it was his favorite of Sanderson's shorter stories. Even so, after getting this for Christmas it's taken me two months to get around to reading it. And of course, now I'm kicking myself. This was indeed a fun and intriguing read. I know absolutely nothing about the game it relates to, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything in the story. I liked Siris and all his complexities. I didn't quite see the twist in his story coming for a little while. I really liked Isa. She's fun and spunky, and just crazy enough you never can quite predict what she'll do next. And then there's TEL, he was an unexpected but very fun arrival. Nothing like a worry wort golem to provide some humor. So yes, I enjoyed it and I've got the next Infinity Blade novella primed and ready on my Kindle. Perhaps my only qualm with the story was it was too short. I wanted to explore the world more, even though I know full well that asking Sanderson for more is asking for something that can also double as a door stop. I'd be willing to read a door stop tome about Siris and his adventures against the Deathless.

Infinity Blade Awakening eBook Brandon Sanderson Peter Ahlstrom Simon Hurley Geremy Mustard Donald Mustard Reviews

I picked this up as a Sanderson fan and because so many other reviews highlighted that you don't need knowledge of the video game to follow the story. I didn't even know there was a video game but I thoroughly enjoyed the book! Good character development even within the brief length of the book. The plot moves quickly. My only complaint is the same as many others - I want it to be longer! Sanderson excels with his world building so here it feels like you are just getting the barest taste. Looking forward to the follow-up book.
Brandon Sanderson's "Infinity Blade" is a novella based on the popular video game of the same name. I don't play video games and have never seen the Infinity Blade game personally. I read this book because I'm a big fan of Sanderson. I was a little apprehensive going into the story because I knew nothing of the background of the game and didn't know if that would be a hindrance to my enjoying the book. It wasn't. Sanderson does an excellent job of explaining both the storyline and the framework of the world where this story takes place. Even though the idea for the characters and the overall scope of the storyline are not Sanderson's own, the book feels like something he could have come up with.
As with anything Sanderson writes, this one is addictive and immersive from page one. I instantly loved Siris (the main character) and was completely drawn in to his story. After only the first chapter, the world where the story takes place feels completely natural and the supporting characters feel like they belong. The plot progresses quickly, and at many points I wondered how Sanderson was going to so quickly end a storyline that gets deeper with every page turn.
The end is satisfying, although there is certainly enough story and remaining questions that this could have (and should have) been a much longer book. In all honesty, this should probably be a series. There is so much that could be explored, explained, and fulfilled with a fuller treatment. I've read nothing about sequels to this story and that is unfortunate. I would absolutely read anything else Sanderson writes about these characters and this story.
I can only give it four out of five stars, because the story is deserving of a longer book.
I very much enjoyed this book and its sequel. The few characters were enjoyable if a bit simple. The twists were pretty usual Sanderson twists, which I like. Unfortunately, and I feel that anyone going into these books should be very aware of this, the story is incomplete. The second book ends on a cliffhanger and the story you would think should be continued in a third book is instead continued solely in an iOS-exclusive game. If you don't own an iPhone or iPad the best you can do is read the synopsis on Wikipedia or watch videos online. I don't regret reading what is available but I do feel a bit deceived that there was no disclaimer up front about the series being uncompletable by most people.
It wasn't a bad story, but was incomplete, likely as intended. Neither of these books really felt like they fit together, and the ending is a cliffhanger, but I guess I deserve that for buying books that were made as a companion to a video game I don't play. I'm also posting this review on the other book, since the same applies.

I am very displeased with the presence of DRM on this book. For more information about DRM, see drmfree.calibre-ebook.com/about#drm.
Basically, it is a scheme to prevent piracy of E-Books (or other digital media) that is a huge hassle for legitimate readers (In short, you don't REALLY own the book, so it can be taken from you at any time, and you can't back it up or read it on any other device if you did) and in most cases, can be easily circumvented by illegal means and Google, so the pirates can do what they like but the legitimate readers like myself can't.
I don't blame the author for this; I liked the story. Not so much the publisher (This is not Sanderson's usual one. His books are normally refreshingly free of DRM)
