Our take on the Sanderson Starter Set — 3-Book Collection

A three-book paperback box of Brandon Sanderson's own picks for new readers: Mistborn: The Final Empire, Tress of the Emerald Sea and The Emperor's Soul. Each comes in a papercraft cover made only for this set, overseen by Sanderson, so collectors get art they cannot buy on the standard editions. The spread is deliberate: a full-length heist epic, a lighter standalone adventure and a short, award-winning novella, which makes it a broader sample than a single-series starter. Readers who already own the individual paperbacks gain little beyond the exclusive covers.

About the Sanderson Starter Set — 3-Book Collection

This set collects three Brandon Sanderson books, each set in a different world. It includes Mistborn: The Final Empire, Tress of the Emerald Sea and The Emperor's Soul.

Each book has a new papercraft paperback cover made exclusively for this collection. The covers were overseen by Brandon Sanderson, who chose these three books as starting points. The cover artists are Kristina Skarstedt, Hazel Glass and Rosie Fowinkle.

Mistborn: The Final Empire is a story of heists, magic and rebellion. Tress of the Emerald Sea mixes whimsy with high-stakes adventure. The Emperor's Soul is intimate and philosophical, and it is a Hugo award winner.

Questions and answers

Is this a good first Sanderson book set?
Yes. It is built as an entry point, pairing the first Mistborn novel with two standalone stories, so you can try his epic and lighter styles before committing to a long series.
Do I need to read Mistborn first?
No. The three books are unrelated and set in different worlds, so they can be read in any order.
Are the covers the same as the standard editions?
No. The papercraft covers were designed only for this collection, with art by Kristina Skarstedt, Hazel Glass and Rosie Fowinkle.
Is The Emperor's Soul a full novel?
No. It is a 169-page novella, shorter than Tress of the Emerald Sea at 369 pages and Mistborn at 552.
What is in the set?
Three Dragonsteel paperbacks: Mistborn: The Final Empire, Tress of the Emerald Sea and The Emperor's Soul.
Does Mistborn stand alone?
It wraps its main heist plot but is the first book of a trilogy, so the wider story continues in later volumes.
Where is the Sanderson Starter Set — 3-Book Collection cheapest?
At Dragonsteel Books, for $39.00, as of our latest check.
