IMO, this should be read after the Night Angel trilogy.
The perfect shadow does take place before it, however, you will totally feel lost without the knowledge of the world created and built upon in the trilogy. Also I think there is a greater appreciation for the easter eggs scattered throughout the novella. Keep in mind the writing style used by Brent Weeks in the novella was an experiment with a new writing prose and can be a bit jarring at the start.
I, Night angel (definitely to be read after the trilogy) the short story is amazing and awesome and I loved it to bits. Hoping that that style pulled through to his later work Night Angel Nemesis.
