First of all I would like to say this book is the first step to one of my Reading Goals which is reading as much books by Brandon Sanderson this year or all of his books, if I could before the end of this year.

This was fantastic! I loved everything about this book, the writing, the plot, the characters and their development. It kept me guessing throughout the whole story, right from the beginning to the very end. Brandon Sanderson did a great job making the ending extremely satisfying as well as setting up for the next book. I can't wait!! Highly recommended read.

5/5. What a fun ride this was. I felt like I knew all of the characters inside and out. Vin's growth was amazing, and everything was so detailed it was amazing. The way we learned Allomancy, and eventually about the Lord Ruler was phenominal. This book truly lives up to all of the hype I hear. I cannot wait to read all the books
