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!

Fun read

even though some of the descriptions of gore were shockingly graphic.

Like normal Brandon Sanderson books, the first 20% took about a week to really get into, but the last 20% I finished in one evening.

this was definitely a page turner for me— i basically read it in less than 10 sittings! the amount of content covered was bonkers and i was never bored. the characters were fun and the world building was very neat (allomancy! who knew?) and the ending came together super nicely. 

hoping future installments have more girls; too many men for my taste. im pretty sure this bad boy does not pass the bechdel test
