What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It gives so much more insight into what was going on that we didn't know. The trouble with building a world is you have to give the reader enough knowledge to understand what is happening but still retain enough mystery to keep the reader engaged.
Brandon sanderson writes to strategically and intentionally enlighten the reader on a grand scale. It is an entertaining story that helps to expand and broaden both the story of mistborn and the meta-story of the entire cosmere.

Highlights
Quality
A great job of explaining what was happening behind the curtain in the cognitive realm with the powers as they transitioned to harmony.

Truly worth a read but you should probably read up on the summaries of the books over on the coppermind the 17th shard if it was a while since you read the original trilogy

It gets 4 stars simply because i think it will only appeal to a subset of fantasy readers

Dont read this book until youve read the first three or even all 6 mistborn books

This is because this book plugs a few minor holes in the plot but to really understand it you really should remember the details of the main story

Seems the author is better at short stories such the emperor soul or elantis than second books of a series

But don’t read this until you read the “ mistborn series or you will simply be confused and there are multiple spoilers
