NOTE This novella is included within Arcanum Unbounded The Cosmere Collection, now available in print, ebook, and audiobook from Tor (US/Canada) and Gollancz (UK/Commonwealth).
Mistborn Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.
As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (the Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.
Mistborn Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.
In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn. (Though if you have read the trilogy—but it has been a while—you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books.)
Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler.
There’s always another secret.
Mistborn Secret History eBook Brandon Sanderson
That's one of the "themes" of the original Mistborn trilogy, and I think it's appropriate here. Seriously though, read the entire original Mistborn trilogy (Mistborn, Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages) and the first 3 Wax & Wayne books (Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, Bands of Mourning) BEFORE you read this. But as soon as you've read those 6, DEFINITELY READ THIS. It will change your life.First, realize this isn't a traditional novella - it's longer than Brandon's standalone novellas, but shorter than the Wax & Wayne books. It also doesn't really have an independent plot arc - it's kind of a companion novella that fills in some gaps and answers some questions from the original Mistborn trilogy. It also features some Cosmere tie-ins, so if you're familiar with Brandon's Cosmere, you'll pick up a few more tidbits. It's fantastic.
There isn't a whole lot else than can be said about it without giving something away. Bottom line, if you're a fan of the Mistborn books, you will love this, just do yourself a huge favor and make sure to read it in the right order!

Mistborn Secret History eBook Brandon Sanderson Reviews
Reader thoughts
I did like the story and writing, but I have higher expectations for Sanderson books. This one is all about a ghost. Kelsier is dead, yet he watches everything unfold.
I liked learning more about how things work (the two sides of reality), and I'm pretty sure Hoid was the traveler who attacked Kelsier. The other travelers gave out a few cosmere secrets, too.
Kelsier travels and learns who can see him and who can't. I guess he was able to talk into a few minds here and there. He did more than expected him to, especially since I thought he was dead. I do wonder how much Sanderson had planned here and how much just fit.
Writer thoughts
Kelsier couldn't do much to influence the story for 90% of the book. He tried and learned a lot, but he couldn't really touch the physical realm for most of the book. That made it seem slower.
A book's protagonist is one who influences the plot, makes it work. Sometimes this is not the MC. Sometimes this is the same character who seems like the bad guy. In this story, Vin is still the protagonist, and Kelsier is running around in the background, figuring out what he can and cannot do.
I just wanted to read more about Vin, I guess. I'm more interested in a 20-year-old girl than a 40-year-old dead guy.
MISTBORN SECRET HISTORY was incredibly mind-blowing. I can’t really say TOO much about it because it’s incredibly spoilery for those who haven’t read MISTBORN yet or even those who haven’t finished THE BANDS OF MOURNING yet. This short story takes place just after the rush of events as MISTBORN is ending and continues to span throughout the rest of the original trilogy, setting things up for the Wax & Wayne era.
Sanderson’s world building is astounding. I love that he’s been compiling this story little by little as he’s been writing the series and finally shared it in this novella. I agree that it may have been too much to mix in with the series chronologically and I was happy to read this all from one POV!
Honestly? I got a tad lost in the middle. Well, not lost but I just have a hard time adapting to new ideas/places/people without enough anchors to hold me to an original character/story. Maybe I’m just not well-versed enough in the Cosmere? But I was having a bit of a hard time wrapping my brain around some of the sections in the middle just because we’re dealing with such higher forces (without giving any spoilers away) and a nearly new concept which I would have loved to spend more time with! Could be that these things/concepts/whatever also appear in other Sanderson books that I just haven’t read yet and that’s why I’m not picking up on it as much! Truly, the things you find out in this short story are so amazingly fantastical that I actually want to re-read the whole series and have MISTBORN SECRET HISTORY in hand so I can read them on the same timelines. I also want to go back and read sections of this again so I can really grasp what’s going on. Some things did seem to be tied to other books set in the Cosmere so I really need to read those soon!!
There were some amazing moments between original Mistborn characters that just totally warmed my heart and really put a happy ending on everything. I loved tiny glances at different POVs (especially Kelsier’s) as scenes from the endings of MISTBORN, THE WELL OF ASCENSION, and THE HERO OF AGES appear in the novella. I loved seeing some of my favorite characters and getting even more answers as to what happened to them and exactly how things played out since we get a different perspective here.
Always a joy to read, some MIND-BLOWING knowledge that has me dying to pick up more books (not like that was an issue anyway. I already have reads planned out!), but now I can’t believe how long I’ll have to wait for new Mistborn books! AHHH!
