Mitosis: A Reckoners Story

ReviewThis is an alright short story set in the Reckoners world. It shouldn't be read before you do [b:Steelheart 17182126 Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) Brandon Sanderson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357576738s/17182126.jpg 21366540].It's a lot of the same elements as the first book. David and his bad Puns. An urban post-apocalyptic setting. Crazy villains with superpowers. The world won't feel very fleshed out to anyone who hasn't read [b:Steelheart 17182126 Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) Brandon Sanderson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357576738s/17182126.jpg 21366540] not to mention the spoilers for the end of that book.Mitosis is an interesting villain from a powers point of view, but feels very flat otherwise. This is probably because it's a short story, but I would have liked some sort of motivation for his actions.I'd say if you enjoyed [b:Steelheart 17182126 Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) Brandon Sanderson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357576738s/17182126.jpg 21366540] and can get this for free, it's worth checking out. If not, I'd give it a pass. I don't really think it's worth buying.Audio book: I ended up doing this in audio because they were giving it away for free. I did [b:Steelheart 17182126 Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) Brandon Sanderson https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357576738s/17182126.jpg 21366540] in hardcover and tend to stick with the same format for books in a series. At just a little over an hour, I probably wouldn't have bought/listened to it otherwise.MacLeod Andrews seems like a decent narrator, and his voice really fit the story/David's POV.
