I really enjoyed the ending of this one. Can’t believe Kelsier actually dies but it made a lot of sense that he had his own secret plan to make himself the new god and I think that was really well thought out/written. Marsh is alive?! Yay! Crazy that lord ruler was Rashek (kinda wish I read the logbook more closely) and eh about Elend becoming king. Minus points for leaving a lot unanswered and some confusing parts

Part 4: If Kelsier died then that is the most anti-climatic death ever. Maybe the 11th metal is resurrection or something?
I’m growing to really enjoy Elend’s character even if he’s really stupid. I still think there could have been more interactions with the other crew members but this book has been great so far. It’s really flown past at almost 600 pages currently!

Part 2: definitely more quick paced then the first part! a good foundation made this super easy to read and i flew through it. i love the addition of elend, and i like the plot line of vin going undercover. something in my gut tells me sazed is evil (suspicious that he found vin) but hoping im wrong because i love his character! wanting to see more of each crew member.

After Part 1: mostly build up here. i’m enjoying this one so far! the world and magic system is really unique and even though it’s complicated, i think sanderson does a good job at gradually explaining it to make it clear. the pacing is also good for such a large book - the plot line is super distinct and nothing feels dragged out. excited for the action to start!
