Very disappointing. The problem isn't the basic idea, which is fun and interesting to explore. It's that this isn't a novella. It isn't even a long short story. Rather, it reads like an excerpt of a longer work. Despite the fun ideas, there turns out to be no plot. Oh, there's action--things happen,...
I can't believe I'm giving such a high rating to something that's listed here at a mere 88 pages. I'm not usually a fan of short stories because I love character and plot development, and often there's not enough for that to happen. But I should have had faith in Sanderson; there's a reason why he's...
Legion is a decent novella. It’s a quick fun read, however I has a couple of problems. The first being that there are far too many open threads left dangling unanswered. Things get introduced in the story and never really wrapped up, so that the novella feels like the start to a longer story. Ho...
It’s hard to know quite what to make of this novella. Like the curate’s egg, it’s good in parts. The good part is the lead character himself, Stephen Leeds, with his multitude of ‘aspects’ (hallucinations), who act as independent beings with a variety of personalities and areas of expertise, even th...
Click image to watch video reviewLegion by Brandon Sanderson is a quick, fun, enjoyable read. The problem for me may be that it’s ONLY a quick, fun, enjoyable read. But that’s my personal crap, I understand. I generally like a different kind of book, one that forces me to think a bit more. But again...
I scooped this one up quicker than lightning when I heard it was available for free on Audible. I love me some BSands. And this story did not disappoint, though it wasn't at all what I expected. In fact, the first little while of the story reminded me a lot of a Joe Hill story. I love both authors, ...
I’m not going to say too much here about the plot, because you need to read or listen to this yourself. The 2+ hours spent on this book was worth my time, and I will probably do it again within the year. I am used to Sanderson’s marathon-length novels, enjoying each one I have delved into. So I was ...
I loved this one.This concept for the main character is great. A genius "storing" his vast knowledge and skills as hallucinations, "himself" being kind of an average person, just awesome.There was a similar concept in The Dresden Files series around the middle, with an additional "hallucinatory" cha...
