Recommended by Carson & gifted by Logan. So glad I finally read a Brandon Sanderson book. I wasn’t really into it at first, but once everything is all set up it gets really good. Love the dynamic between Vin & Kelsier, it’s what I live for. I haven’t read a book with an interesting magic system and good lore in a hot minute and good god is it engaging. I love that my brain was trying to sort out how Inquisitors work and what the Lord Ruler’s deal was. The setups and payoffs are good.
Sanderson knows how to set up a hard magic system with good limits, and it’s really interesting to speculate see how the two different magic systems will play off eachother in the next books.
Love me a knife wife. Vin is a lot like Inej from SoC so I was all-in for her. Love a good female character who has to learn to trust. I really related to her sitting back during a good moment with friends and having that really depressing realization that it’s going to end. She’s so real for that.
Kelsier is literally Jamie Lannister (or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in my head because similar character archetypes and ages. Idk man something about a mentor/mentee found family dynamic really does it for me. He’s everything you expect from The Hero. He’s got the look, the attitude, the charisma, the skill. He’s got it all man.
Great book. Simple end goal with a great journey is what makes for a good story and this just hits. Gotta love it.
I represent the thing that you’ve never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
