It’s been a while since I found a new fantasy series to fall in love with (and it was written in 2006! Where have I been? Lol). Well, I should say fantasy book… come check on me after I’ve read the sequels. The world-building was great, graphic descriptive romance non-existing, but since it is a time of war upheaval - I will warn about descriptive violence and death. Somewhere between PG13 and Rated R.

The beginning of the book felt quite slow. Trying to follow the politicking and planning was a little convoluted and boring. But then the action picks up in the second half of the book and there's some really well written action scenes. I love the magic systems in this book and the concept of the world is really interesting (even if I don't fully understand how they grow food if all the plants are dead and brown... like, supposedly there are no flowers but they do eat fruit??). I really enjoyed watching Vin

grow into her allomantic powers

. And I loved Kelsier as a character and his relationship with Vin. Seized also became one of my favorite characters.

I don't know if I'll enjoy the next book with the two of them not in it. I would hope that Seized comes back from his journey soon to help Vin or that he gets some of his own main character time.
