A solid novella that expands the world and the cosmere. I feel like these types of books are important as they take away the need to build the cosmere from the main books in the series (which I have heard have started to be weighed down to further the cosmere). The nautical theme is something that I didn't realize is something I would naturally like but am loving. The mystery and questions this raises only piques the interest in reading the series further.

The only complaint I have and I've noticed Sanderson has done this in the past is that he will tease a reveal and right when you piece it together, he'll just tell you the next chapter. Now obviously he doesn't do this with every mystery but when he does it tends to be unsatisfying.

Not much to say without spoiling, great novella (miles better then Edgedancer) and a must read if anyone loves the world building of the Cosmere
