A nice little prequel. I would have preferred more about the namesake metal, but the background on kelsier's training (and what is influencing it) is interesting!

Excellent backstory for Kelsier, a fan-favorite from the original Mistborn series. However, it didn't seem like an illustrative enough depiction considering the significance of his character. That being said, I am subject to change this review as I learn more of him in the other Cosmere works.

Short sweet, gives some insight on Kelsier.
