It was interesting, also helped further the plot. However, I think this could've been included in one of the other books, rather than being its own novella.

A solid story for the world created by Sanderson, though it makes me a little impatient for more.

This was okay.
It is a novelette, so there is no real time for a set up - it is 5 chapters of here is the villain, here is the problem - moment of angst - win the day.
I feel as though this is one of those villains who would be in the part one of a bigger story, only to be defeated before the team moves on to the REAL prey of the novel. Kind of a throw away character to me, and the ending was anti-climatic. Brandon Sanderson's longer work was better because time was vested to know about the world, the powers, and the hero and villain. This one was here you go and done. Almost like he had a couple of hours to kill on a plane ride, so he wanted to right this.
I say skip this one, as there is nothing character building within it, and probably has little to nothing to do with Firefight.

Nice little short story. Good to see how the city works after the events of the first book.

Nice, short fitting half book. Even with how,short it is, didn't feel too short. There wasn't an overload of information. Definitely read book one to understand the world build of this series before reading this short story.

Short, but a good refresher before I (eventually) read Firefight.
