I wanted to like this book so much more than I actually did. After reading Mistborn, I thought things would only get better. But... I was wrong. I was mainly frustrated at Vin and Elend, and their angst filled love. I put the book down in frustration many times after reading a Vin chapter. I did however enjoy Elend’s story of taking control of his image, and his unflappable integrity. I’ve heard the third book is the best, and I sincerely hope that I enjoy it more than this one.
