"I really enjoyed this one. It was quite intense actually - I mean, it takes place on an Island of death so I suppose that's to be expected. The world is very interesting, I would love to see more in this world and how it relates in the greater Cosmere. I enjoyed the characters and actually really liked Dusk, found myself relating to him on the 'being around people' front and enjoyed the way Sanderson presented it. <br/><br/>The story felt complete as a novella but it was left open fabulously for any return should Sanderson do so."

"Another excellent short story from Brandon Sanderson. The worlds he creates are so vivid and fascinating. I wish he would expand this story. The characters are interesting, the plot is enticing, but the world is what makes it so memorable. I definitely recommend this one."
