I enjoyed this - though like the first one, it seemed like it could have been edited down a bit. A lot of it dragged for me. But it did start to pick up - and the closer we got to the end, the more invested I was! I liked both Vin and Elend more in this one. They both are changing and growing as characters. Side characters like Sazed also get more interesting stories. Overall though it does feel like a “middle book” - but there’s still some fun twists and turns!
