It was fun and interesting, and the length was perfect. It’s one of those books where if you’ve already read all 16,000,000,000 pages of The Stormlight Archive, you might as well read this as well.

I really liked the backstory of Tyvneri from the author notes. Pretty cool.

Wit is great in both stories.

More Lopen is never a bad thing.

Overall, just some great little stories in The Stormlight Archive. I’d love to see more of this.

“The Everstorm,” Ivory whispered. Jasnah didn’t know the word, but shivered at the fear in his voice.

“Perhaps when you’ve found what you need, you might find your way back to me and share your wisdom.”
Tyvneri smiled. “I should like that.”

“What do you know of other worlds?”
“Damn near everything,” said Wit and grinned that maddening grin of his.

“Sure they did,” said Lopen. “They knew exactly what they were getting. They wanted more of me. Not less.”

Some people didn’t think Elhokar was a very good king, which was probably why they were always trying to kill him, but Lopen, he had never really wondered if King Elhokar was a good or bad king. He’d wondered what it was like to be the king.

“Are you worried about people dying?” asked Isa. “Or about looking bad because people die?”
