I can’t believe Sanderson did this to me
Resume w/o spoilers:
Fantasy martial arts controlled by types of metals. Kelsier seems to be an egotistic hero that wants to see a change in the world after being tortured by the Lord Ruler, then meets the 16 years old orphan Vin with an awesome ability to convince people to do what she needs them to do and recruits her to join his gang of all kind of thieves. The goal? Bring down the empire of terror.
Key words:
High Fantasy. Fiction. Political. Fighting. Dystopia.
Character development:
This is basically what bothered me the most of the book, it was pretty poor character development.
Romance:
There’s some, didn’t like it much but I’m trying to not think in the things that would bother me in real life so I can enjoy it without feeling bad.
Plot:
Unexpected. 😡
Note: the first half was so slow for no reason, also, I HATED the way Vin personality was portrayed, she had no personality at all to be honest, also the lack of women in this book is unbelievable but it was pretty good though and I’m hoping to start reading the next one asap.
4 out of 5 stars
