A great collection of short stories. Very consistent. A wealth of great science fiction is encapsulated in here. I really enjoyed the literary device used to connect each of these stories together that being the titular “Illustrated Man.”

Someone recommended this book to me, and I am glad they did. This book was engaging from beginning to end. I love the world, the magic system, and most importantly the characters that Brandon Sanderson has created.
I will definitely be picking up the Well of Ascension. I have to know what happens next.

A great collection of short stories. I find the stories to be very human, and accessible.

A great primer for anyone interested in mythology. The author tells you where they plucked the myths from, and where you can potentially continue your research. Another interesting aspect of this book is the author, in certain myths, combines aspects from various tellings to give their definitive version of each myth.
A great overview of a wide array of myths. If you're interested in learning about mythology. I would say that this would be a great place to start.

Seven stories beautifully come together on this one pilgrimage. I can't wait to buy the second book, and see where the story goes. I love how rich, and just creative the world is here.
I would recommend this book to anyone. One of the seven stories is bound to entrance you, or if you're like me all seven stories will send you on a journey to the universe that Dan Simmons has created.
