Alone with his hallucinations, or “aspects” would be more accurate. Although he’s quite good at what he does, Leeds would rather be left alone. Not just brilliant, but crazy good, you might say, because Leeds relies upon a menagerie of hallucinations (each possessing a unique skill) to solve those problems. “Legion” is the story of Stephen Leeds, AKA Legion, a man who has a reputation as a brilliant problem solver. I’m glad to say that Sanderson’s novella, “Legion,” is a successful novella experiment. And for added difficulty, he is selling a story that is not only much shorter, but also in a different subgenre. But will this new experiment work for all authors?īrandon Sanderson, a notoriously productive bestselling author, who is known for epic fantasies that span several volumes each containing hundreds of thousands words, decided to give it a try. Instead of abandoning these in-between stories, authors can sell them directly to consumers. However, the rise of ebooks is changing the market for novellas. Along with its misfit sister format the novelette, novellas can be difficult to sell. There has never really been a thriving market for novellas.
