Another incredible read from Brandon Sanderson. This collection of novellas absolutely surprised me in its commentary of the state of our minds, and what reality is — and if it even matters what “reality” is. The titular character, Stephen Leeds, is incredibly likable, as are his “aspects.” The plots were fascinating, and reading the novellas didn’t feel like reading novellas - it felt like reading a 3 part book, and that was outstanding. This is book is one part Sherlock Holmes, one part psychological thriller, and one part coming of age story. Phenomenal.
