This one was super hard for me because I am not a political girly. A large chunk of this book was politics around a kingdom and talks and plans, and it was not exciting enough for me, hence why it took a year for me to read it. I knew it would be fully worth it though, and I was rewarded with a phenomenal ending. I love Vin and Sazed and Elend so much, plus other characters that were introduced in this book. Just because I did not like this one as much does not mean I will absolutely be completing any Brandon Sanderson work I can get my hands on (even if it takes me the next 10 years).
