What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a compilation of short stories and some of his best novellas. A brilliant collection of stories that really add to the cosmere. I hope to see more stories relating to these minor worlds!
When you hit the new year, after a heavy swath of reading over the holiday period you sometimes want something a little lighter or smaller to dip into whilst you get ready to expound the sheer volume of what the previous year had in store. It’s a long... Read More

Highlights
Quality
There isn't one so far i've been disappointed with.
It's gotten me really excited for the sanderson books still on my tbr, and like i said.
Packaging/appearance
In this way these introductions are presented as accounts of the continuing researches and observations of khriss into the cosmere.
Each story winds through at a fairly quick pace, with some dark twists (kelsier being trapped in the well) woven into their fabric.
Competitiveness
Overall it is a 4-star book that i would love to bump up to a 5 if only i enjoyed that final 40,000-word novella.

For example mistborn secret history was brilliant and really filled in a lot of gaps and questions not just about mistborn but the cosmere itself whereas allomancer jak and the pits of eltania felt pointless and i did not enjoy the way it was written and the little plot was just not for me

The book is divided up into “systems” with a neat little explanation as to the layout of each system which is then related to a specific setting from the cosmere – elantris mistborn threnody first of the sun and a previously unnamed and unpublished stormlight archive novella
