Pretty invested, but I can still put it down. Getting a bit suspicious of Kelsier. His actions seem increasingly shady.

Getting better. Why is fantasy always such a slow start? (In all fairness, it’s getting to the action much faster than a lot of fantasy.). Still difficult to picture the setting—hotel? carpet? Feels a bit like Star Wars meets Regency England meets League of Extraordinary gentlemen meets City of Ember. Did see a sword mentioned—but no sight of horses yet.

The Allomancy/tin burning is weird (original, though), but going with it for now.
