Critic reviews

If you are familiar with Sanderson's writing - be it The Way of Kings or his Mistborn series - then you are sure to know what to expect: brisk, engaging and professional storytelling
Sanderson has a precise way of writing, whether its his epic fantasy or in-your-face superhero fiction. Mitosis was everything I expected from such a powerhouse author. A dynamic setting, compelling and flawed characters, enough plot twists to keep me guessing, and a fun, fast-paced reading experience
if you enjoyed "Steelheart" I would definitely suggest you track down a copy. If possible, I would also recommend that you get a Gollancz collector's hardcover. Apart from being gloriously designed little package it also features an additional 40 pages from "Firefight" which is arriving in about month's time.
This was a brilliant action-packed short story! It had everything packed into it that made Steelheart such a great book.

interesting story, but it felt like it wasn't entirely necessary. the events here don't add much to the trilogy. v well written and acted though.

Shouldn't be necessary reading for the trilogy

In anticipation of Reckoner's Book 2, I re-listened to Steelheart, and tacked on Mitosis for good measure.

Perfectly in keeping with Steelheart - characters and theme. Macleod Andrews is also absolutely consistent, so the effect is that this could be simply another chapter to Steelheart.

"Short, but perfectly baked" is my verdict. I wouldn't have wanted to spend a whole credit on something this short, but the sale price + an audible voucher I had, made it worth it.

Ready for the next book now.....

Good little interlude

Good short story but could have been added to book 2. I didn’t realise it was only an hour long. Expensive for only an hour. Should be free when you purchase book one and two?.

To short

This could have been the beginning of book 2 before Firefight came, too short, I would have preferred a 0.5 prequel instead but the quality was there, I can't complain too much.

Acceptable

A good addition to the existing story sandwiched between the first two books. If you like the first one, worth a listen, but you do need the backstory to understand.

Good short story in this universe
