Legion, a short novella by Brandon Sanderson about Stephen Leeds AKA “Legion” a man whose unique mental condition allows him to fracture his mind into hallucinations called aspects. Each aspect is a fully realized person with a distinctive skill set allowing Leeds to solve mysteries. In this story he is hunting down a camera that allows the operator to take “pictures” of past events. Sanderson does a great job developing characters, a plot, and interesting twists; I especially like his exploration of insanity versus sanity. My only complaint is that the novella was too short!

What a fascinating read, too short though. It had me from the beginning which is partly why I enjoy novellas.

Incredibly interesting concept, but the execution just wasn’t there for me.

Güzeldi ama çok da etkilenerek okumadım. Sanderson çok sevdiğim bir yazar olduğundan sanırım biraz daha fazlasını beklemiştim gerçi sayfa sayısıyla kıyaslayınca iyi bir eser olmuş kurguyu iyi anlattı ve iyi toparladı.

Simple, short, and really amazing. The story wasn't very special in itself, but the characters!

I'm not a big fan of reading series. This was the first book I've read from Sanderson. It was short and a very quick read. I wouldn't mind reading the whole series if all of them are going to be this short. The multiple hallucinations in Stephen's mind are presented well and you don't need to pay a lot of attention to figure out what is going on, which can be a problem when 80% of the characters are in someone's head. But, apart from the main character, the story itself is also quite intriguing. It is mainly an introduction and it does feel like it's building to something bigger, but it wraps up well enough. The only thing that I didn't like was the 'Language' thing from Ivy. Do people still consider 'damn' and 'bastard' as swear words, especially coming from adults?
