I’m a little conflicted with this book. The story was genuinely so interesting and it had so many turns, whenever something unexpected happened or something didn’t go according to their plan, it made me more interested in the story and curious to know how they would fix that. Also loved the characters, they had so much depth and story to them, and the found family aspect was so heart warming, seeing Vin go from an abusive crew to one that cared about her and were actually happy and had good times together.
However, I was bored most of the time. I don’t know if it was the writing style, the pacing, the way the story was told, idk, but if felt like this book had some high moments, the ones that peeked my interest and made me enjoy the story in that moment, but then the story would go flat and it felt like not much was happening, or at least nothing that would affect the story. The ending of part 4/ and all of part 5 brought back my interest in the story, which makes me even more conflicted with how I feel about this book. It’s like 80% of the book was meh, but then the last 20% were really really good.
I already have the rest of the trilogy and I’m genuinely interested in finding out about some things that were left open, so I might continue the series but after a little break.

I think I'm about fifty percent confident in my understanding of this magic system so far. I'm not used to such complexity in world building having started with simpler fantasy, but it's intriguing and I'm enjoying the plot and the characters.
Speaking of which, I definitely think that Sazed may be my favorite character at the moment.
