This story was great. I loved Kelsier and hated that he had such a “small” role in Mistborn and every single snippet of more information that I can get about him is much welcomed. It was not up there with Secret History, but it was great learning how he struggled in the beginning before he learned to master the metallic arts as a full Mistborn.

Short, easy, and gave a little bit more background to who Kelsier later became. 3.5 out of 5.

I never really felt for Allomancer Jak in Mistborn Era 2. He was well written, but he was an arrogant prick. Honestly, never really understood if he was real or just a story character in the paper. I read it as part of Arcanum Unbound, ebook version and I think that made the story not as fun as if I would have read it in a physical book with the annotations. In the ebook verison, the annotations came at the end and it was impossible to go back and forth or remember what was referencing what. Too bad, I think it could have been more fun otherwise.

It was a pretty cool story though that showed the modern Koloss. Enjoyable short story which probably could have been better read in physical form. 3 out of 5.
