I was going to DNF this book halfway through. It took so long to get started but I’m SO GLAD I DIDN’T!

I absolutely fell in love with these characters. Found family is my all time favorite and this story had a lot of that. There was too much death though and I’m a sap. I want everyone alive and happy and healthy at the end of a story but with stories that go like this, it was inevitable.

The ending was really rushed but it makes sense as there’s like 57 more books in this series so…do I pick up the next one? Can I handle the heartbreak? Stay tuned.

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
