Stupid Time Travel

Good book, don’t get me wrong. But man, time travel stories are exhausting !! Came to this directly off finishing the Stormlight Archive, sooooooo….. maybe not the best timing. That being said, love Sanderson, enjoyed the book.

Great Collection

This is an excellent collection of different types of stories. In typical Brandon Sanderson style, each is unique with its own set of rules. Each of these short stories are expertly developed with characters and environments.

Love the multiple narrators

Tailored Realities is a fantastic collection, and the production really shines on Audible. The multiple narrators were a huge plus, each story feels distinct, and the performances match the tone and pacing perfectly, which kept me fully engaged throughout. Hearing different voices brought extra personality and life to the stories in a way a single narrator couldn’t. A great listening experience and an easy recommendation, especially if you enjoy well-produced short fiction.

Short stories FTW
