I believe these books occurred to Sanderson after the original plan - that Alloy of Law was sort of a fun "in-between" book while writing a couple of his bigger books, and that he had so much fun with the characters he decided to write more. So they are more or less a "bonus trilogy"!

To me they are faster paced and more light hearted than the original. More humor and action, less deep story. So different from the first 3 books, but just as enjoyable.(less)
