First impression was, I believe, that you liked theater. Or maybe that you have an interesting taste in hats.
I don't have a strong opinion either way with regards to the second question, but I guess I'm perfectly happy to.
The premise seems really interesting. Can't wait for more jongleur Will. That was the best part of Sorcerer of the North (with the exception of Flanagan's greatest villain, Sir Keren).
but for some reason, I was able to get over that.
I'd really like to see more Early Years books. I really liked those, and feel like there are many more stories to tell. I think he's beating a dead horse with all these new Royal Ranger books. Even Brotherband is getting a little tired.
As requested, I have now made a poll for the best Cosmere novella/short story. I used the stuff in Arcanum Unbounded, excluding White Sand because as I understand it it is a graphic novel. LMK if I'm missing any.
