I read this book in a span of almost 4 months and I have to say I went through almost every possible emotion in this reading journey!

At the beginning, I was so invested, I loved it, I would read over 100 pages in one sitting, I would be so into the world and the characters and... everything! There were other times though, that I found it so so slow. There were times that it took me 2 days to even finish 20 pages!

This is a fairly slow book. It has an amazing premise, I love all the politics discussed in the story, the characters are solid, original with great voices and what can I say about the world building? It's, for me, the best part of this book!

My favourite character would have to be Kelsier. After the first couple of chapters, I was sure I'd like Vin best, but there were some choices (I'm talking about the romance here) were choices that I found too immature and to be completely honest, I didn't feel like this book needed a romantic subplot.

Overall, I enjoyed so much the political intrigue, I enjoyed seeing Kelsier plot and make his way through every mishap, but I will have to admit, I was hoping this book was shorter. I think it was too long for its own good and even though I want to continue with the series, I'm not really looking forward to another massive book with an equally slow plot. Maybe I'm completely wrong though and the second installment will have a better pace! Only time will tell!
