This is the best of Sanderson's short fiction, in my opinion. It is unusually dark and violent compared with his standard work, though not graphic by any standard, just a little spooky. 
 I would like to know more about Silence and her world. A little backstory is hinted at, but we don't get anything about the magic of the world, or what happened before, just some facts about the shades, and the pretty traditional means of dealing with them. 
 I loved the bounty hunter aspect of this story, as well. I hope for more on this world.
