However, after the first 100 pages or so I REALLY got into this book. The story was really compelling, the world incredibly interesting, and the characters were great to follow. I do have to say that Vin got on my nerves a little bit at times, but she did go through a lot of developement throughout the book, and I'm excited to see her journey throughout the rest of the series. Kelsier was absolutely unhinged, but in the best way possible, and I really loved our crew of side characters. I was quite gripped by the entire book, although at times it felt like not much was happening. However, I feel like every word is purposeful for this book, or the rest of the series. I just feel like even though I had a great time reading this book, mostly it just felt like a four star to me, with potential of a five star later on in the series.
Then those last 150 pages or so happened and they BLEW MY MIND. Oh my god, things started happening, were extremely action packed, and there were just so many twists and turns I just absolutely did not see coming but still felt like a natural progression of the story. My heart was just absolutely racing, and it just was easy 5 star material. Honestly, finishing this book gave me such an adrenaline rush. I absolutely can't wait to continue on with this story because this was such a solid foundation for things, and it can only go up from here, and it is already at a really high point for me. So yeah, it didn't end up being a 5 star in total, but it's really fucking close. If I did decimal point rating this would 100% be a 4.75.
