Be warned that this does not focus on B&K but rather a set of characters related to B&K. Notwithstanding, this is a fascinating story due to the meta-subject (writers vs. fans/critics) and the delivery (narrated by a member of the story's party, at a later date.)
The beginning reads like a different writer (dense, "long-winded") but once the story starts, the style matches the Erikson I am familiar with. I think it is an awesome addition to the series but I ma biased by the fact that I agree with nearly everything discussed in the novella (e.g. societal commentary, relationships, etc.).
