I'm just loving this series. This one started a little slow for me, I found myself missing Kell. He's such a charismatic character. But once it took off I was hooked again. This time we find out that it's one thing to overthrow a tyrant and a whole other thing to run the government. But this isn't a 9th grade civics course, far from it with armies gathering on all sides, a spy within the inner circle and self-doubt for both Vin and the young King, Elend. Vin is still a great heroine, strong enough to be an absolute force but young enough to make some terrible mistakes. This one ends a bit more uncertainly than the first one but the "middle book" in the trilogy usually does. Can't wait to wrap up the story with the third.

I'm an animal lover, unapologetic genre reader and quiet goodreads exile still trying to figure this whole blog thing out. :) I read across a lot of genres but mostly romance, mystery & fantasy (urban & epic).
