I have read very little of the Mistborn series (I think only the [b: Alloy of Law|10803121|The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, #4)|Brandon Sanderson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442889632l/10803121.SY75.jpg|15035863]) and something else I can't quite remember). I am assuming that all of the characters I am reading are callouts to other characters from various novels. As an outsider, reading this story was engaging, but probably lacked the emotional punch it might have had if I knew who any of these people were. Anywho, even with that, it was a well written story. I also appreciated that it was a novella with good pacing and a clear ending. So, even if you haven't read any of the Mistborn stuff, I think this will not disappoint you.
