I had tried this before but didn’t get past the prologue. So despite loving Elantris since my attempt at this, I still went into this nervous I would struggle.
I think like Elantris the audiobook helped me get through this a little easier. Although it did take me a little while to connect to some of the characters and understand what was going on. But not too long that it ruined my enjoyment. I wasn’t too confused either.
I feel like Sanderson is great when it comes to explaining the world. The world building was steady and detailed. I never felt overwhelmed by the information given. Which I was thankful for. But just like Elantris I understand the world and magic but I probably would be terrible at explaining it to someone.
At some point, I can’t pin point where, I started to like Vin. It’s possible it was when she started interacting with Elend. I just love their scenes. I found myself smiling at I listened.
Kelsier was easily my favourite character. Which means I’m left heartbroken. Those scenes towards the end broke me. I just needed more from him.
I loved the crew that Kelsier put together. They were very different but they worked so well together. They cared for each other.
The last 200 pages or so I just couldn’t put the book down. I would have happily stayed up all night if I had to. Thankfully I didn’t. But I just needed to know how it ended. Which has now left me wanting to pick up the next book ASAP. Needing more from these characters and world. I’m intrigued to where everything goes from here. I have no idea.
