So, Brandon Sanderson can create a masterpiece in a short story.

I disliked elantris, a lot, and wasn't sure if I was going to read this novella, yet, it was a stand alone story in itself, blending subtly and was after all, very enjoyable.

I'm observing that BS work creates a beautiful and rewarding form of introspection, which is quite remarkable when every. Single. Book. He. Writes ✍️ have the same eventuality.

A good book overall

It is very short, but managed to provide an interesting story nevertheless.

The characters are more fleshed out than they are in Elantris so I liked that, but this book would have been better if it were longer.
