Ali asked this question about The Emperor's Soul (The Cosmere):
Why is The Emperor's Soul considered to be set in the universe of Elantris, rather than in the universe of The Way of Kings? Seems to be a much much stronger connection between WOK and TES than Elantris and TES.

Elantris and the Emperor's Soul are set on the same planet though.

Way of Kings, Elantris, Emperor's Soul are all part of the Cosmere and are thus connected. From what I remember, the planet way WOK takes place on (Roshar) is a very different place to the one Elantris & TES takes place on (Sel)

Why does the connection between WOK & TES feel stronger to you ?
