Brandon Sanderson is excellent at writing about hope and good people. And also making those good people suffer. 

<Spoiler>I love Sazed so much and how dare you hurt him so. 
I hated Zane, as a person and a character. His toll on Vin was difficult to read and went nowhere. The constant insistence on things he couldn't have known about was frustrating. 
The ending left me slack jawed. I'm still in shock. It's the perfect antagonist to these characters.

I loved this second part of the Mistborn series even more than the first book! It expanded the world and brought so many new mysteries and shocks along. I can’t wait to start part three!
