Omg two months later and I’m reading it again!
A very entertaining read, and I want to see how they pull off this big plan.

I think Vin’s romance is written so poorly tho. Sanderson describing how a young girl feels about a boy… you can tell it was written by a man idk. He writes Elend’s side just fine, but it’s just how he writes Vin’s POV that seems very generic and flat.

Ham is definitely my favorite character. In my mind, I imagine he looks like Marcus from ARCANE. I have no idea what his canon physical description is and I don’t care atp, my headcanon will not be changed 🤚🏼

Now WHY did Vin tell that boy all the business about the underground movement network :| you shared too much girl and giving that info to a noble could/will kill people 😭

Also, when will Vin’s brother show up???? I know he will eventually in some plot twist, but I can’t guess what context it’ll be.

Why is she sitting at balls and parties with the noble people 😭 GET HER OUT AND FIGHTING maybe I’m being a hater but having this strong female MC only sit around having crushes + growing to love dresses + balls is so “written by a man” coded

ATP Vin seems to be the naturally gifted MC who doesn’t trust anyone, rough around the edges, and tries her best to make herself as small and unnoticeable as possible.

I wonder who her parents are and which side gave her powers. WHO IS THE FATHER!!

It’s interesting that she’s learning to act like a noble woman + emotion manipulation near the same time. I wonder how her first ball/society event will go…

Back to this book!

I just started this beast (600+ pages 🧍🏻‍♀️) and
am so excited. Even as a fantasy, it's easy to jump into this world. A few people in class also really enjoyed this book so it'll be motivation to finish it and talk about it!
