humanignorance's review against another edition
5.0
4.5 stars. I am reviewing these three novellas together since they are short individually, and all of similar quality. (Though the final novella, in typical Sanderson fashion, concludes with a very satisfying bang and was a bit better than the first two). This was a very interesting take on a unique psychological attribute of a genius, which manifested in many cool, thought-provoking ways.

My only complaint is that I wanted more development and like a full fledged series from this because this was such an interesting concept.

3.5
It's a funny and very original setup for a story. I liked the first story the best, the second and third segments of the book were not quite at the same level. You'll want to read all three of them if you finished the first one, though.

A modern Sherlock Holmes, where the genius doesn't store his intellect in a mind palace, but rather in other imagined people, or 'aspects', making most of the interesting things, or fun dialogue, play out essentially between the same person.
This is a collection of all three books; the first book is purely amazing, whereas the second and third are 'just' really good. They're all really easy to read, yet doesn't feel lacking or simple.
Pretty much my only problem with the series is that they're sci-fi-ish. That generally doesn't have to be a problem at all, but I prefer to have either hard sci-fi, or realism, instead of this mash up.
