Sanderson is really bringing out all of my sociology lessons because I literally wanna write an essay. Like I can absolutely write a sociological, character and political analysis of just this first 60%.

Good news, Vin isn’t annoying me as much because I’m now reading her from an analysis standpoint as opposed to whether I like her or not and that’s working for me.

Vin: “What is he thinking? He’s so much younger then me”

*he is 15 and she’s 17*

Other male interest is 21 and she sees no problem I-

Jail!

Oh boi, depending on what Sanderson does with Vin, she might be the thing that I dislike about the book i can’t stand herrr. But she’s just a teenager but erghhh like stay at homeeee.
And we’re in her POV so fucking much, my grace is dwindling. Teenagers in these kind of stories are always so eager to be involved like I beg you learn when to just stay put!!!

I’m rooting for her healing but like bruh…

The only other thing bothering me thought is the lack of main female characters…. Like is Vin all we’re getting??? It’s this teenager around a bunch of grown men I-

Hmmm Vin reminds me of the fmc in the Darker Shade of Magic series and atm that’s not a good thing…. I do find Vin a bit more tolerable. I just struggle with teenage characters cause they literally behave like their age and that frustrates me. I’m actively giving her grace because she’s 16 but “eager/stubborn” characters drive me up a wall….

3 days later I’ve FINALLY reached page 100😭
