THIS GUY.

Spoiler

which could refer to EITHER Sanderson or Kelsier because man both men are non-stop.

Explains a lot of the weird going on through Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages, as well as the Epilogue of Bands of Mourning. Definitely read after original trilogy, though I think it could be placed either before or after the Wax & Wayne (it was a nice surprise after BoM, though, when Brandon mentioned it in notes at the end).

This was better than I expected. It was interesting - we'll have to see where this leads to.

The most impressive thing about this novella to me is how much character growth is shoved into this book. The novella has a feeling of deleted scenes from an extended edition, but we still got a lot more of the protagonist than I expected. Peaking behind the curtain has made me so excited to finish The Lost Metal and launch further into the Cosmere.
