I've been hearing about this book everywhere lately so I picked it up since I've been on a fantasy kick lately. I can totally see why people are raving about this book. It's got a heist aspect to it, it's got a revolution aspect to it, and it's really well done. I really love Vin and Kelsier, I like how we got to see two completly different people learn so much and grow. I liked the rest of the team. Elend was an obviously likable character from the get go, which was a little, eh whatever for me but I mean I did like him so you know there's that. This book doesn't drag in introducing the magic system which I appreciated. I personally don't like when you're reading a book and that relies on magic and then spends half or more of the book with the main character discovering their skill. Mostly because that makes for a slow start and then a rushed ending. Side tangent over. Anyway I can't wait to pick up the next book in this series.
