3 stars for Legion
An interesting premise but I thought more themes could have been explored with the plot. I also didn't find the ending satisfying.
4 stars for The Emperor's Soul
Very interesting magic system and main character, would love more stories about Shai, especially her past.
Both are very short and worth a read. Fans of the corner should be aware that Legoin is not a part of it.

Legión: me encanta. De hecho es lo primero que leo de este hombre que no tenga nada que ver con el Cosmere. Una novelita corta que se lee de una sentada, fantasía urbana, muy original.
El Alma del emperador: Como he leído ya todo lo que ha escrito Sanderson que esté dentro del Cosmere, no me ha sorprendido demasiado, es muy Sanderson, y muy al estilo de elantris, El aliento de los Dioses. Genial para recomendar a alguien que lea Sanderson y explicarle qué tipo de literatura hace.

I really enjoyed these stories, although i will admit that I didn't realise it was two individual stories when i started. I expected Legion's story to somehow intersect with the last and leanr about the Emperors Soul... Ubtil Legion finished and the new book started.
I like Stephen Leeds as a character with his aspects who he can manifest and how he manages it.. . Is he actually insane and the aspects are his brain or he is sane and the aspects are the insane ones? Are they ghosts?
The second book The Emperors Soul was fantastic,I seriously l ved the story, the world was rich and inviting and I couldn't put it down trying to figure out what would happen, I was very invested in if Shari would complete her task and if it would ever work. I love her magic and how it interacts with her and thise around her. Like did she have to have a specific type of magic to do it or could anyone learn?
The ending was good although I do think the story could have been expanded to show more of 'before' her arrest and after the escape. The world was definitely rich and welcoming, detail certainly wasn't lacking but i felt it missed something but I couldn't say what.
These books sparked my interest in reading more by the author so it was a win, win situation for me really.

"Legión y el alma del emperador" es una obra que se compone de dos relatos cortos, transportándonos entre el intrigante cosmeré de Brandon Sanderson y la realidad terrenal. Mi experiencia con estos relatos ha sido matizada y divergente.
En el primer relato, "Legión", me encontré inmerso en la mente prodigiosa de Stephen Leeds, un personaje que despliega habilidades excepcionales mediante una multitud de personalidades imaginarias. Aunque la trama es intrigante, experimenté cierta insatisfacción al llegar al final, ya que percibí que la historia culminó de manera abrupta y sin un cierre contundente. A pesar de la fascinación inicial, otorgaría a este relato 3/5 estrellas.
En contraste, el segundo relato, "El alma del emperador", me cautivó desde el principio. La trama, inspirada en las artesanías taiwanesas y sus sellos distintivos, se desenvuelve con un estilo narrativo casi crónico. La estructura de contar los sucesos día a día añade una capa adicional de inmersión en la historia. La resolución del conflicto me resultó intrigante, y el toque de humor presente a lo largo del relato fue un elemento que aprecié. El personaje principal, Shai, me recordó a una mezcla entre Lift, la danzante del filo en el Archivo, y Shallan, la tejedora de luz en el Archivo. Esta amalgama de elementos, junto con la trama bien construida, me lleva a otorgar a "El alma del emperador" una valoración positiva. 4/5
