As I listened through the first time, I bookmarked the beginning and made notes for each short story for ease of finding them in future. I hope this helps those of you who would like to do the same. I don’t listen to this collection all at one time but only a story at a time as I am listening to the series that each story relates to if that makes sense.— V. Smith, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “So many good stories all in one place. An A+ piece”
Anyone that enjoys Sanderson’s larger works will surely love this collection as well. I did.— tyler kilgore, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Amazing”
Everything in this is golden! Adds so much depth to the Cosmere. Sanderson again proves he is an evil genius.— Ryan, Audible listener
