I'm very happy to return to the world of Mistborn, especially that of the first era. That said, this book largely fills in details between events that you already knew, or had guessed at.

Un court roman que l'on peut présenter comme un "compagnon" de la trilogie Mistborn que j'ai lue juste avant.

Plaisant, mais pas franchement indispensable à mon avis.
