Underwhelmed w the ending. I know the series continues but feel Vin was cheapened by the last sentence. 

Also felt it was pretty slow.

Brandon Sanderson's writing immediately pulled me into his world. Sanderson masterfully introduced us to the world and its magic system. Viewing the world from multiple perspectives gave me a broad understanding of everything that went on and made it easy to get attached to the characters. 
Kelsier is such a fun character. I feel like his archetype is usually more serious and broody but he’s so funny and charismatic which makes for a super fun reading experience and a light feel in between more serious parts of the story. 
Seeing Vin grow more trust for the people around her despite her past was very healing. I also loved how Vin gets to explore more feminine things while also feeling safe because she sees it as a disguise. She’s not too ‘Not Like Other Girls’ about the fact she has to pretend to be a noblewoman and wear make-up and frilly dresses.
The only thing I didn't like was the age difference between Elend and Vin. Vin was 16 when she met Elend, who was 21 at the time. While Vin acts more mature due to her traumatic past she often also comes across as the teenager she is.

Her and Elend ending up in a romantic relationship is a bit uncomfortable.
