Some stronger/more interesting stories, and some less so. The framing device was a clever idea, but I’m not sure that the stories quite fit always.

I normally hate the short story format. Anything smaller than a novella has just never clicked with me, much to my frustration. However, I think short stories designed to flesh out an existing story world have hit the spot. All of these were at least good, with some being fantastic. I think my favorite was the final one with Ragnarus. I would read these after book 2, but before book 3 for the most effect. If you read before book 2 ends, you will have some spoilers.

I quite enjoyed this short story collection. The worlds of Traveler's Gate have a lot to offer, and the framing of each story as a lesson from Elysia made most of them feel like a fable. The only stories that felt out of place in the collection were the ones that take place during City of Light, but they were still enjoyable and don't deter from the tone overall. My particular favorites were The Feathered Plains and Tower of Winter.
This is a compilation of short stories set in the world of Traveler's Gate.
I'm really glad that I read them. They make the world muuch more alive and vibrant.
The main series are interesting, but the books focus on the main hero, who rapidly becomes stronger. Very soon non-incarnation enemies become just a meat fodder.
And here we can see other types of Travelers, what is their purpose, how they see the world and so on.
