There are a few twists I figured out but was still were satisfying and others that completely surprised me.
This book still suffers from being too PG there are no kisses or even fade to black.
El is pretty boring. He does grow and it's better than the first book but he's still lacking depth.
I'm a little concerned with the direction of the government. The message comes off as democracy will fail. I hope they try to set up another democracy instead of staying as an empire.

I really grew to love our cast of characters in the last book, and that love only grew as the book continued. The developement of our crew, and especially Vin, Sazed, and Elend, was incredibly well done as well. I just loved following them all. On top of that I also loved learning more about the world. We got to delve a bit more in its history, and making new discoveries consistantly. I already thought the world was insanely interesting in the last book, but learning so much more in this one made me love it even more. There was just so much to it.
The story of this book was also just incredible. It's very politics and war focussed, a lot strategies being put in place, and I thought that was just incredibly interesting. If that's not your thing this book might drag a little, but I absolutely adored it. There was also a bigger story in the background of it all, and I loved seeing that being put together throughout the book. There's also so many twists and turns, some I saw coming, and most absolutely broke my brain. Brandon Sanderson is just a master in crafting all these twists and reveals so you feel smart, but in reality you are the biggest dumbdumb there ever was. So yeah, in conclusion I fucking adored this book, and can't wait to continue on with the series.
