When the familiar and seemingly safe turns lethal, therein danger lies. Amid a forest where the shades of the dead linger all around, every homesteader knows to follow the Simple Rules: "Don't kindle flame, don't shed the blood of another, don't run at night. These things draw shades." Silence Montane has broken all three rules on more than one occasion. And to protect her family from a murderous gang with high bounties on their heads, Silence will break every rule again, at the risk of becoming a shade herself.

The author of the Mistborn trilogy and Elantris, Brandon Sanderson is winning abundant praise for this rollicking - and unusual - tale. Alcatraz Smedry can’t exactly be described as someone who doesn’t break things. In fact, he breaks lots of things. The truth is, he’s a major klutz. Breaking things, however, might just be the ace in the hole he needs when he goes up against a cabal of nefarious (gasp!) librarians.

Now comes the pivotal point. After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland, but no farther. Desperate to find a way to break the stalemate, the answer lies in the half-forgotten words of an ancient song. Not all legends are of heroes, and not all myths are invented. And sometimes, when you’re desperate enough, you’ll believe in the inconceivable and even seek it out.

A Perfect Five Star!
Brandon Sanders is a fantastic author, and one of my favorites. Whether he is writing a short story or full length novel, his stories are always an adventure with a great plot, and characters.
I really enjoyed this story, and the ending blew my mind.
I've listened to Christian Rummel narrate other audiobooks and he always does a great job.
This was a five star story, and I recommend it to any Sci-Fi fan.

What made the experience of listening to Perfect State the most enjoyable?
I love these short stories from Brandon, it is a quick listen and reminds me of the first book of his I ever read, Legion. If you are afraid to commit to a saga of 100 hours, start with this book, you will quickly go buy everything he has written.

Perfect State was a really good listen. Characters were amazingly well developed for such a short story. The way it mixed in the various genres was very interesting. My only complaint is really that the ending came too soon.

The Matrix and the Mind of Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson's mind must be an amazing place. Where does this astonishingly prolific author come up with all these worlds? And how does he juggle all these sci fi/fantasy tropes so elegantly and effortlessly, even in a short novella, while still maintaining the focus on wonderful characters?
The first scene of Perfect State is set on a flying platform reminiscent of the "floating islands" of the Light Eyes of the "Stormlight Archives" world. It made me think this story was part of what Sanderson terms the Cosmere, the universe that links most of his major works, including Elantris and the Mistborn and Stormlight books. But after finishing it, I think it's a standalone world (with the portal left open for future visits).
The influence of "The Matrix" is clear in this brief but vivid tale. I'd say the movie influenced Brandon, but then I'm not at all sure he didn't give the core idea of "The Matrix" to the producers back when he was in high school. (I'm kidding--but I'll bet he could have.) Look hard and you could see a touch of "Transformers." And a little of the urban fantasy of Harry Dresden.
There are light touches and humor that turns bittersweet, just as in Sanderson's "Legion" novellas. Great narration by Christian Rummel. Perhaps a little overpriced for a mere two hours, but Sanderson is so generous with his work on the Web and in general, that I'm happy to pay for this one.

FANTASY MAN
Sanderson is the man, the man who invents a new world with each story. I will admit that this one was not as unique as some of his others and I did not love it, like most of his others, but it was not a wasted listen. It could be the prequel to a bigger novel, and I would be interested.
Rummel is like usual, great.

Loved it! Reminds me a lot of questions I had when watching Matrix for the first time. The powers that be must be benefitting somehow to go to the trouble of maintaining such elaborate simulated existences. I really hope Sanderson writes more about Kai and his world(s).

Neither story nor narration on a par with other titles
I really enjoy most of Brandon Sanderson's works. This particular production left me somewhat cold. The narration was lacklustre after the other stories done by Michael Kramer.
The plot was mildly interesting, but the characters and worlds were not intriguing.
Overall, this serves only to highlight the great strength of the other works.

Fantastic short story
Loved the twists that Sanderson managed to get into the story. Bit short, but still delightful. Would recommend to any Cosmere fan!

An excellent mix of scifi and fantasy!
This was an excellent listen. Turns out when audible gives you a book for free it goes into the library not the preorders so I got to listen to this early!
Mr Sanderson has a way with words I don't think many writers do. He has once again created worlds so vivid it's hard to believe it possible with such a short listen.
This is a story of a man who thinks he has everything and is truly only missing the one thing he really needs and how it feels for that one thing to slip right out of your grasp.
