Below description from [Sanderson's website](https://www.brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-prologue/), written by Peter:
>When Brandon shelved Mythwalker in August 2001 because he felt it wasnt working (one of its issues was that it felt clichéd, but there are other issues that Ill discuss following later chapters), he planned to get back to it eventually.
But there were still elements and characters left over in those books that could be used to tell other stories. Warbreaker follows one of the storylines from Mythwalker that was left when the elements used in the Mistborn trilogy were taken out.
But that is not all that Mythwalker is. Its main character and its magic system have not been cannibalized. What you will read here [...] is an interesting story in its own right, even though it has problems. And some of you will be frustrated that the story remains unfinished.

>So it is probably best to view these chapters just as a window on early Brandon Sanderson, when he tried something and failed. This was the first novel in Brandons adult writing career that he started writing but never finished. If you want insight into his creative process, I think this is a great place to look.
