Executive Summary: I enjoyed this, but not nearly as much as [b:Edgedancer 34703445 Edgedancer (The Stormlight Archive, #2.5) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1499706661l/34703445.SY75.jpg 54097500].Full ReviewPrior to [b:Rhythm of War 49021976 Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive, #4) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1599911216l/49021976.SY75.jpg 23840265] everything about Stormlight Archive was a 5 star read for me. This novella like that book was still very good, just not as good as previous works.I'm not sure if the change is in Mr. Sanderson's writing or myself as a reader. Likely a bit of both. I used to read and enjoy everything he put out. Then he released his Reckoners series.In general I'm not a huge fan of novellas, but for Mr. Sanderson a novella for him is almost a normal novel anyways. There is a good story here that feels complete while still obviously being part of the larger Stormlight world.This added an interesting aspect to the world building and I'm curious to know more. I also wish I had read this before [b:Rhythm of War 49021976 Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive, #4) Brandon Sanderson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1599911216l/49021976.SY75.jpg 23840265] because I'm sure there are things in that book I missed that were setup in this story.Overall I found this an enjoyable read, and I hope we learn more about Rysn and Chiri-chiri in later books.
