Enjoyed the first book of the series but this one left me cold. Slight improvement right at the end.
9/10
I started reading this series on recommendation. I went in with no expectations and the first book really surprised me. I never knew where the story was going to go and found the magic system fascinating.
The second book in the series is one I love even more. Elend’s growth and development really touched my soul as while I read I’m also struggling with leadership. Though I’m not as hopeless as Elend, at least in the beginning, I found his journey resonated greatly with me.
Vin is wonderful as always. She’s such a fantastic character easy to root for, occasionally frustrating, and a very flawed hero. Her own struggles with herself and identity were masterfully done.
This book handles trauma, loss, and grieving so well. It’s rather amazing. As you watch characters struggle it’s hard because it’s so real. I wanted to both comfort them and slap them upside the head at times.
This book also ripped my heart out and I felt myself get close to crying multiple times.
The way Sanderson slowly builds tension is not for everyone, but it is for me. When things start coming together suddenly interactions I didn’t think much of got put in a whole new light and it made me want to go back and reread sections to see if I could spot signs of what was happening.
It always takes me awhile to get into his books, but they’ve yet to disappointment me. I’m excited to start the final volume later this year and see how the trilogy ends. I’ve gotten attached to so many of these characters and feel very invested in what he’s built.
My ratings for all things are specific to me and how I enjoyed the text. This is a biased review based on my own likes and dislikes. I respect conversation and disagreements. Every person experiences art differently

What did I just read? 🤯
First of all, I’m just so happy I didn’t lose any of my friends in this book 😂if you know, you know. Compared to book one, this one was a bit slower and dragged in parts, but I still enjoyed every moment. It’s an easy 5-star read, no doubt.

Did I mention how much I love Vin, Sazed, and OreSeur? I do. Deeply. I miss my little man though. Honestly, at this point, I feel like I know these characters in real life they’re not just names on a page anymore, they’re family.

The ending of this book hit me for a home run at least 5 times.
Wow
Sanderson might be unmatched as a fantasy writer
