The collection showcases much of what the author does best though, as a returning reader, I already have a working knowledge of his world building. The stories I enjoyed the most were those that depicted characters I'd already read about. Readers who have never picked up a Sanderson book before will miss much of the subtlety and complexity of the situations. They have so many layers, and are always constantly expanding. You'd get more out of this if you read a few of his other books first. I would suggest starting with the Mistborn trilogy before moving on to other works.
Sanderson is unique as far as fantasy writing goes, but [[Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie]] collects all his gritty grimdark stories together to a similar effect. This decidedly better than another of Sanderson's books which we've [[Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson|reviewed]].
