Review: 

The world that brandon Sanderson has created for this book is original and wonderful. This is a world unlike any I have read before within fantasy. He is so descriptive about everything and you can picture it all with such ease that you don't notice the world being build around you as you read. I think the only thing that was hard about the world building to get you head around was the allomancy (the kind of power that some people have, to be able to control metals) and remembering the names of all the pairs. My one complaint was the pacing of the book varied between slow and fast paced there was no in between, one moment we were have huge exciting battles with their magical metal powers, then we spent a whole chapter sitting at a table talking about things that had already happened. But i will forgive that for the great writing and plot to the book.

In this story we got two points of view kelsier a world renound crimal master mind. He made the plot progress allot through this book and implemented the plan and was very much an older brother figure towards vin. Vin a young girl who was very much our exposition bus but that is okay because every book has that character that we learn everything through. She was a poor girl who was trained not to trust anyone which made her interesting because she was suspicious of everyone and slowly let go of her past and came into her own and by the end of the book she was a fully fledged bad ass. Also this book had a huge supporting cast but none of them were unlikeable and I really enjoyed that. Final i thought  the lord ruler was an intreaging and powerful villan who was an actual threat to there lives.

The book was wrapped up so well it could even work as a stand alone I'm personally really excited to see where it is going to go. And am almost certain that I'm going to love it as much as i loved this book. And i know brandon Sanderson has a few series so I'm wondering if they also take place in this world, because i think that would be so amazing and do able. Overall i personally will recomeade this book to anyone who loves a good fantasy. I am going to be reading the sequel as soon as possible.
