Loved this book. Perfect amount of slower and faster chapters. I cannot wait to start the last book in this trilogy to find out what happens next.

I honestly enjoyed the story more without Kelsier. I found him frustrating in the first book and I much preferred getting to spend more time with Elend and Sazed in this book, as well as the rest of the crew. All of the crew members are given more characterisation as individual people rather than just parts of the group. I especially love how Spook has developed, and TenSoon is probably one of if not my favourite character. 

I have mixed feelings about the pacing of the book. The siege definitely felt very slow paced and the book felt like it was taking a time to read which is something I usually don’t enjoy, but at the same time the tension was really good. I was always afraid for the characters and despite the slow pacing I never wanted to stop reading. 

The one thing I absolutely did not like was Zane. I wanted someone to kill him every time he appeared he just annoyed me so much. I did like his and Straf’s storyline and the plot twist with the poison, but Zane as a character was unbearable. 

The best thing though was the ending. I’d actually managed to be spoiled on a couple of things so I expected not to enjoy it as much but there were still surprises and even the things I knew were coming happened in a different way than I expected. It was exhilarating and anxiety inducing!

Brandon Sanderson is excellent at writing about hope and good people. And also making those good people suffer. 

<Spoiler>I love Sazed so much and how dare you hurt him so. 
I hated Zane, as a person and a character. His toll on Vin was difficult to read and went nowhere. The constant insistence on things he couldn't have known about was frustrating. 
The ending left me slack jawed. I'm still in shock. It's the perfect antagonist to these characters.
