Very strong beginning and ending, great main character, cool magic system. Vin is the best part here, but all the characters are pretty well done. I actually really liked her relationship with Elend as well, which often seems to be the area where authors will fall flat, and Sanderson does a fantastic job of slowing bringing her out of her shell.

I will definitely be checking out the rest of this series, and probably more of his work.

And why isn't this a movie yet??
