Review
From the very first moment Christian Rummel’s voice greets your ears in Perfect State, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical science fiction fare – nor is it your typical Sanderson protagonist. Rather than exploring an underdog’s ascent from obscurity, Sanderson invites listeners into the rarefied air atop his “Supreme” character Kairominas’ own universe. Here, power doesn’t corrupt – it isolates.
Rummel proves himself more than capable of navigating these heady waters. His measured cadence embodies Kairominas’ arrogance without alienating listeners; instead, he gently peels back layers of ego to reveal uncertainty and yearning beneath godlike bravado. The subtle shifts in tone as Kairominas encounters another Supreme – his equal – is masterful: what could have been simple verbal sparring becomes a delicate ballet of rivalry and unexpected vulnerability.
Sanderson fans will relish his signature world-building prowess. Though much shorter than his epic fantasies, Perfect State crafts a vividly detailed setting where virtual realities and philosophical paradoxes collide. The premise itself – a world engineered for perfection yet fraught with hidden flaws – invites contemplation on free will versus predestination, privilege versus empathy. It’s cerebral without being inaccessible; briskly paced despite its introspective leanings.
What truly sets this audiobook apart is how deftly it interrogates power dynamics – not just at scale but intimately so. The forced date between two Supremes is both hilarious and unsettling, challenging preconceived notions about strength, dependence, and genuine connection in manufactured utopias.
Listeners who crave action may find portions contemplative rather than pulse-pounding – but for those drawn to psychological intrigue wrapped in speculative trappings (and delivered by one of audio fiction’s most expressive narrators), Perfect State offers plenty to savor.
