What a great book! The world that Sanderson has created is so detailed, you get drawn into it immediately. The two main characters of Vin and Kelsier are great characters and the way they react to events that occur is amazing. The magic system is unlike anything I have read before, and while it does take some time before you fully understand it, when it clicks, the whole book comes together. Fight scenes are also something that can be hard to put into words, but Sanderson is able to create fight scenes that are both dynamic and readable, which greatly enjoyed my experience of reading,

PHENOMENAL world-building. Incredibly well-thought out. Adventurous and exciting while grounded in limits. Vin (one of the main characters) shows tons of growth, but without it seeming too quick and far-fetched.
Learning all of the terms and the ins and out of this world are difficult but SOOO worth it!! I am in awe by how well this book is written!!!

I loved reading this book!
It’s Avatar the Last Airbender but make it Victorian & instead of mastering the elements you burn metals to manipulate your surroundings. Also with a few “avatars” instead on one.
I also think the story is very similar in tone & characters to Six of Crowd by Leigh Bardugo. But it read a little more mature to me, while Six of Crows felt more YA. But I think if you enjoyed one you’d enjoy the other.
The world & magic system are so well thought out. Every time I thought I found a loophole it was explained away soon after as if the author was reading my mind!
This book honestly felt like a stand alone. But I am still eager to pick up the next in the series!
