Mitosis is a novella that takes place between Steelheart and Firefight, and centers on the revitalization of Newcago after the reign of Steelheart. David is optimistic about the progress they are making to make Newcago safe to live in, free of all Epic’s influence. However it would seem that others are not so sure, and when Mitosis shows up it seems like they were right. I love how much action Sanderson managed to pack in this short story. Even though this story is only about 35 pages I absolutely loved every minute of it. David is on top of his game with the awful metaphors and bizarre genius when it comes to fighting off Epics. And the narrator is fantastic as what he does, he captures David’s personality perfectly and does some great voices for Abraham, Prof., and Mitosis.

I can’t wait to dive into Firefight.
