Publisher's summary

The impossible has happened. The Lord Ruler is dead. But so too is Kelsier, the man who masterminded the triumph. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protege Vin - a onetime street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. Worryingly for her, Vin has become the focus of a new religion, a development that leaves her intensely uneasy. More worryingly still, the mists have become unpredictable since the Lord Ruler died, and a strange vaprous entity is stalking Vin. As the siege of Luthadel intensifies, the ancient legend of the Well of Ascension offers the only glimmer of hope. But no-one knows where it is or what it can do....

No regrets, only giddy with suspense. I'm buying the next book in the series right now.

A bit meh

The relationship conflict in this book really killed it for me. There was a mix of arrogance and insecurity from Elland and Vin that I found really frustrating to read. I very quickly lost interest in these two characters because of it. Not great, considering they're the main characters.

The few instances we get to see Breeze's POV were really good, however.

I also found the couple of scenes where the Terris people were studying together to be really amateur method of info dumping the reader. They were a grind to read.

But again, the main issue I had was with Vin and Ellend.
