Wow it really took me 3 months of picking up and putting down again to finish this. 

And I have to say, this story would have benefited from less „allomancy“ aka magic system related descriptions in my opinion because by the end we know what everything does. I feel like it is painstakingly explained until the very end making me feel like I read 1200 pages instead of 600+. 

The first 70% of this book really dragged on for me, but then the last 30% kept me so hooked and interested despite the excruciating metal explaining and detail that I’m totally unsure about my rating of the whole book. 

Then again...Towards the last quarter of the book the story really picked up and got so gripping! I loved the reveals and the ending but I’m not 100% sure I’m interested in the premise of book two to be honest. 

I do want to know all the background and all the reveals about Vin and the Darkness and everything but these books are real bricks and I’m not sure I want to know it that badly
