It is a cosmere book first and Stormlight book second - no doubt it will feed in nicely with Rhythm of War. I enjoyed it, it's quick and breezy. Lopen and Rysn are interesting characters in of themselves which helps. There wasn't enough meat on the bones of the story to get me really excited about it but I did enjoy the breadth it introduces to the world of Roshar with the cremlings.

I found this to be a great side-quest book. We got to see some side characters shine (I love me some “the Lopen”, and Rysn is pretty cool too), while just further delving into the world thats being created in this series, and follow a fun (though perilous) adventure. 

I found the pacing and length to be good for the story, though found I could have done with a litttttle less of the trader-type conversations, we get it, trading is a skill and you need to be clever and one step ahead! Though ultimately had a lot of fun with this book.
