For the overall plot, as a continuation of the series this was great. But OMG SO MUCH ELEND AND VIN. If you weren't convinced about their romance in the first book, this second book won't convince you any more. The amount of times I sent my partner images of Elend's dialogue with the caption "Fuck off Elend"... it became a touchstone for us for a few weeks. That being said, a few of my issues with Elend's character were adequately addressed in this book, so that was a positive. I just think this book would have benefited from more of Sazed and Tindwyl, and Marsh as well. Less Elend and Vin being angsty. 

I actually really enjoyed how some of the other party members were fleshed out in this book too, now that I look back. 

Worth the read.
