Docked half a star because I don't like the age difference between Vin and Elend. I have strict boundary when it comes to minors dating grown men, idc "how close to 18" she is. Especially since Brandon Sanderson made it a point to correct her age from 16 to 17 in a conversation to probably try and make it less weird.

But other than that? This was a fucking masterpiece and I can't believe I let the size of it intimidate me into not picking it up until now. I loved Vin's character development. And when it comes to characters established in who they are, Kelsier and Sazed were my favorites. Everyone was fleshed out beautifully and the story came to life immediately.
