I read this as part of Arcanum Unbounded. It is a very short prequel featuring a favorite character at a pivotal point in his life. I don't think it's essential to read this, but it's worth a few minutes for Mistborn fans.
Short and highly fun! It's definitely fun to go back and see Kelsier before the events of the Mistborn trilogy, and despite its length the story gives insight to his inner struggles as he adopts the legendary image of the Survivor of Hathsin. The fluid magical action and writing style is an enjoyable return to the first Mistborn trilogy, and the setting carves out an unexplored town in the Western Dominance. Loved Gemmel and the other supporting characters as well (side note: there was a cool art preface).
I really liked this short story. It's interesting to see what Kelsier was like before the events of Mistborn. Unfortunately, I wanted more. This felt like the first chapter in a longer book and I really wanted to keep reading about Kelsier. Overall, a 9/10. - August 11, 2023
