Do you have a quote for that? I would say it can be flawlessly inserted without being weird in this location: (there is no spoiler in actual content)
Spoiler:
between preface and chapter one
I don't. That was supposition on my part, but given how it fits it almost had to be. Looking deeper, this post at Reddit seems to indicate it was intentionally done as a novella between the two novels. I'm likely wrong.

It always looks better, in hindsight, to claim a salvage operation as being intentionally planned. Very likely scenario could be that one chapter got cut a long time ago and Jim Butcher didn't like it. It had the potential to be not only a short story, but a novella. Nobody knows yet if Cinder Spires is going to be three books or nine. If it is only three, then a short story anthology is unlikely. To play it safe, it is now a free standing novella, published as a teaser to increase interest in the second novel. Just my thoughts, I could be as wrong about it as you.

Actual real content spoiler:
Spoiler:
I am glad Warriorborn has a new type of creature showing up. Mistsharks we knew we were going to see more of, but dragons? Unless they are one and the same, like a small and gigantic version. The dragon, while somewhat big wasn't big enough to swallow a ship whole, so mistsharks must be something else. Unless, swallowing a ship is mere exaggeration.

I didn't know there would be demand for it. Maybe throw in a lightsaber as well. Maybe it is one of those: if you make it they will come.

I saw something saying it comes right after The Law. Harry is in his early 40s in it, so that should be close.

Spoiler:
They also made a comment about it containing a mirror, and of of the upcoming (#19?) planned books is Mirror, Mirror. So, this could be after book #18.

It's interesting that this story was not publicized enough.

Thanks. I hope this story doesn't really matter when it's read in case we get the order incorrect.
