From "New York Times" bestselling author Brandon Sanderson's action-packed novel "Steelheart" comes "Mitosis," a short story set in the world of The Reckoners series, exclusively available in the digital format.
Steelheart may be dead, but Epics still plague Newcago and David and the Reckoners have vowed to fight back.
Catch all the action before "Firefight," the exciting sequel to "Steelheart," hits shelves in January 2015
MITOSIS was a really fun short story! I know not everyone is a fan of novellas and for STEELHEART fans who are in the same boat, you don’t NEED to read it but you may WANT to read it! Firstly because it’s Sanderson and it’s just plain fun, but also because the novella does set up a few points for FIREFIGHT.
MITOSIS is a quick in-between story to bridge the gap between STEELHEART and FIREFIGHT and the focus is more on David and less on the Reckoners as a team. They’re still working together but not all of the characters appear on scene, so to speak. It’s a quick hunt to take down another Epic and this one happens to be important for FIREFIGHT because he brings up a few good ideas and points when the characters start to theorize some more. Obviously I won’t go into the details, but this is also one of the many reasons why I’m encouraging you to read the novella! I think the information comes in handy and I think it’s easier to read in MITOSIS first!
Other than that, the formula sort of follows suit from STEELHEART — David is nerdy and funny (sorry, David. You are a nerd), Epics are still terrorizing, the Reckoners are awesome. I don’t want to say TOO much more about it because the novella isn’t incredibly long but I had so much fun listening to it and it made me even more exited for FIREFIGHT — so much that I had to start it right away! (Seems to be a trend with me and Sanderson books.)
“The View from Goodreads” is a featured section in my reviews that I decided to incorporate! I tend to update my Goodreads status a LOT when I read — reactions, feelings, notes — so I thought it would be fun to share the sort of “reading process”! All status updates are spoiler-free (no specific plot points will be revealed) but will contain reactions to certain pages and/or characters!
