5.0

I love this book so much and it is definitely one of my comfort reads. I’m a sucker for found family and this story just hits the spot for me. I love Vins journey and self growth in this book and the rest of the of the series. She is so badass and I love her! I think this book is full of just the right amount of warmth and love but also pain and grief. I definitely recommend it!

a story about a slave revolt and revolution written by a white man was bound to be sub-par. would not recommend starting with stormlight archive in your cosmere reading order, or you will be thoroughly disappointed. Vin was a boring mc for me, Kelsier was cool but

his death felt forced

. All round just not my cup of tea, but I can understand why a lot of people like this book with it's unique magic system. sanderson's writing felt like it was at an all-time low in this book, but I'm probably biased considering I didnt enjoy the actual story. And seriously,

Elend ends up king?? wtf type of white saviour bs is this? A government coup, politics, and rebellion done horribly wrong, at least by my standards

. Won't be continuing with the series any time soon, but perhaps I'll come back to it if I feel like I'm missing crucial cosmere information after reading stormlight 5.
