Right after Mistborn 1st era is a good start. Much of the detail of what is going on will be totally lost upon you, but that's actually perfect--Kelsier is just as confused. You can enjoy it as simply the story of Kelsier, and experince his "true" first-person perspective.

Then go back and reread after finishing the Stormlight Archive. You'll notice more stuff.

Then visit again after reading Elantris, and possible also Warbreaker. You'll discover more and more depth and significance in what Kelsier sees and does in the later portions of the novella.(less)
