A short story on Kelsier where we find out how he trained to become a mistborn. He follows another old mistborn, Gammel who is very strict and sometimes ruthless on his teachings. But Kelsier is determined to learn as much as he can from Gemmel. And in one of such outings with Gemmel, Kelsier saves many Skaa who were being experimented by a noble mistborn. Here he finds his purpose of life which is continued in the first book of Mistborn Era 1 trilogy [b:The Final Empire|68428|The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1)|Brandon Sanderson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617768316l/68428._SY75_.jpg|66322].
Happy Reading!!
Gosh... this was interesting, but I wish it would’ve been longer! I really enjoyed reading from Kelsier’s POV, and I would absolutely love it if Sanderson wrote some more stories from his perspective in the future.
The story here doesn’t feel quite finished, but it does give you some nice background on Kelsier, and also on his vendetta against the nobility.
It was fine. By far the least essential piece of Mistborn content. Potentially even less essential than Allomancer Jak
