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….

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.

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…
