Initial Impressions 1/25/16: 4 stars 
 Gosh, these quick novellas from Sanderson are always so hard to rate! I know his amazing world-building and I always go into these novellas excited to read more Sanderson and I'm left wanting so much more! I could easily read a whole novel or series about this world and these characters! It would have been a fantastic series if that were the case. 
 Classic Sanderson through and through -- great world, witty characters, interesting intersection, creative twist. I loved the characters and I wished I could have spent more time in all of these different worlds! 
 I also really loved the combination of fantasy and sci-fi. It was really neat to see the two collide like that! 
 Mini-review as originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 3/23/16: PERFECT STATE was a lot of fun! I really liked the whole concept of "meta fiction" (I recently discovered this term!) in which the main character is essentially playing out their life through a simulated world (think The Matrix or even a VR world like in READY PLAYER ONE). PERFECT STATE follows the story of Kai who is the ruler of his own (fictional) world and now the time has come for him to interact with other actual humans and do his duty to reproduce in order to keep the population going.
