Well, this was short. For Sanderson, at least. Considering that the books in the original trilogy were super duper long, this one was only about three hundred pages, so, yeah, short. Because of this, Sanderson wasn't quite as deep as the other ones, but still very, very good. 
 The setting was awesome. I mean, a steam-punk western world mixed with allomancy powers? Sweet. That is one book world where I would love to visit. 
 Also, Wayne and Wax are the best partners ever. Sometimes I felt that their quick wit and jabs at each other were a little overboard, but most of the time they were endearing and drew a chuckle out of me. 
 Marasi was pretty decent as well, but not as amazing as Wayne and Wax. In the end, as usual, Sanderson's characters are brilliant. Pontum finale.
