I DID IT, I FINISHED THIS BEAST! 
 I loved the characters and they made me tear up several times, they have depth and the character development was on point. 
 Kelsier was definitely my favorite. He's a survivor and despite everything he's been through he still smiles and hopes. In addiction to that, he's smart as hell and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty to achieve his goals. 
 "But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope." 
 I really liked Vin, Elend, Sazed and the crew too. The banter was fantastic, Breeze and Ham were hilarious. 
 The romance was barely there, but Vin and Elend are a perfect match. 
 And the Lord Ruler was a fantastic antagonist. Scary, powerful, cunning and his final plot twist was completely unexpected. 
 But on the other hand, this book is too long. 
 I love big books and The final empire is not the longest I've ever read, but there were too many description and useless paragraphs (and SO MANY repetitions, especially concepts and emotions were repeated countless times). 
 Too many pages of plotting, philosophical questions and description of rooms or dresses. 
 Many of you may love that, but I found myself skipping pages because I was bored.
