I don't think Sanderson does comedy well. I should've read this after Words of Radiance and think that might have hurt some of the enjoyment regardless I just don't like Lyft. The comedy seems more geared towards teenagers which is fine, but I'm not a teenager so it doesn't quite cut it for me. I love the Edgedancer abilities and that part was fun.
There wasn't a TON of Cosmere related info in this at least not from immediate reading, maybe if I go back and read it I'll notice some easter eggs I'm sure. I also don't think this novella is particularly necessary to read not nearly in the way Dawnshard is. If you enjoy the comedy style of Lyft in Words of Radiance or Wayne from Mistborn Era 2 I think you'd enjoy it. Having said that it is a short novella and flows relatively well chapter to chapter so it wouldn't cost a ton of time to read it quickly before jumping into Oathbringer

A solid novella that expands the world and the cosmere. I feel like these types of books are important as they take away the need to build the cosmere from the main books in the series (which I have heard have started to be weighed down to further the cosmere). The nautical theme is something that I didn't realize is something I would naturally like but am loving. The mystery and questions this raises only piques the interest in reading the series further.
The only complaint I have and I've noticed Sanderson has done this in the past is that he will tease a reveal and right when you piece it together, he'll just tell you the next chapter. Now obviously he doesn't do this with every mystery but when he does it tends to be unsatisfying.
Not much to say without spoiling, great novella (miles better then Edgedancer) and a must read if anyone loves the world building of the Cosmere
