Phenomenal. The only critique I have is the awkward romance subplot, but even still, I didn’t hate it. Hoping to see that fleshed out a little further in the second and third instalments. I cried, I laughed, I loved the fuck out of this book.

Vin is endearing and conflicted. I really enjoyed her shifting perspective throughout the book, as well as watching her learn the meaning of trust and love and family.

Kelsier is gripping and enchanting. I can feel his charisma through the pages. He had the best action scenes in the book, in my opinion, and I absolutely adored his light wit and kind heart.
He was perfection and I sobbed for him.

Remember to smile
