I have heard quite a lot of good stuff about him, but he typically writes Fantasy Epics, and while I have enjoyed a few epic fantasy series in the past, it’s not my favorite subgenre. Luckily, I remembered that months ago, I had downloaded a free audiobook on Audible called Legion by Brandon Sanderson and I could pull it up on the Audible app on my phone.
I didn’t want to start a longer book, because I was really looking forward to starting the new Harry Bosch book the next day, but all the audiobooks I had on my player were all 10 hour plus. Yet, I figured the timing out poorly and was left with two hours of time to fill. Because of this, I had a bunch of shorter audiobooks planned out in order to give me plenty of material to post this week. I had just finished a longer audiobook series, which, although spread out over a few books, I planned as a single post. Because of this, I usually find myself with a lot of options.
I typically fill my MP3 Player up with about a weeks worth of audiobooks, and have a bunch of books from my backlist To-Be-Listened-To pile there just in case I really don’t like an audiobook, or my mood calls for something different than I had planned for. I create a general weekly listening plan, but I build flexibility into it in case a surprise release comes out or I receive a review copy earlier than I was planning. I am usually a pretty good planner when it comes to my audiobook listening. You never know when you will find yourself needing two hours of quality audio to listen to. Even if you are not sure you will listen to it, you should hurry up and download it anyway. Note: Legion is currently Free to all Audible members until the end of 2012.
Don’t let any misconceptions of prejudices of genre writers to allow you to miss this fun little story. It’s simply a fascinating tale with an amazing character that should please anyone who has two spare hours and needs something fun to fill up that time. Quick Thoughts: Legion is the kind of story that totally defies genre.
