A good little short story that'll kill an hour. Good fun if you want to explore a little more of the Reckoners series. Not necessary for the series as a whole, but you won't get a lot out of it if you didn't read the first in the series first. (

It was a good refresher before I picked up Firefight, but I don't agree with the idea of having short stories that are necessary for the plot of a larger series, and the plot of this short story is absolutely integral to the 2nd book. (

I'm not sure what the point of this novella was. Also the style is pretty much a clear depiction of Sanderson's faults as a writer (that his other books are excellent in spite of). Strangely one dimensional characters who feign depth by having specific things that they care about too much, interesting ideas with limited purpose, and a tendency towards resolving imbalanced confrontations with deus ex machina.
