There were multiple moments I was actually so stressed. The attention to details Sanderson adds is so well done. Idk how he does it!

The first half is honestly a drag, and I think the Elend/Vin relationship issues were annoyingly drawn out. That said, the end of the book is so good. Brought it up to a 4 for me! 

The last 20% of the book was so good, but the first 80% was slow. Only 3 stars because it’s too slow to want to re-read it 

Things I liked:
  1. Examining belief and religious structures - Sazed has some really thought provoking musings 
  2. A flawed but powerful FMC 
  3. The magic system is so flawlessly is implemented 
  4. Thinking about being a Kandra 
  5. Tindywll - alone with with Sazed 

Things I don’t like:
  1. The political intrigues are entertaining, but only up to a point 
  2. Breeze’s relationship with the young girl 
  3. The pacing was just too slow at first
