This one is better than the first one. Although the first half is very boring and drags through the story without much development and excruciatingly detailed fight scenes

After Kelseir's death it seems like the comic relief of the story has been taken and it's very hard do go through the story cause nothing is happening for the half of it. Also so many things like deaths of Tindwyl, Dockson and Clubs could be so much emotional , the scene where Vin has to choose to give up power or heal Elend could be so emotional and painful but it is so far from that and all we have is excruciatingly detailed useless things

This book boils my blood with how bland and boring it is, honestly so much the author could do but they focused on unnecessary things. This story has so much potential but all a waste. 

And why are the characters or generic ya characters nothing new the same old. I mean don't make it that obvious that you just wrote this to sell copies, it's really disrespectful to the reader. 

If you love this series, good for you but honestly I don't.
