Fun read

even though some of the descriptions of gore were shockingly graphic.

Like normal Brandon Sanderson books, the first 20% took about a week to really get into, but the last 20% I finished in one evening.

Loved Vin as a main character. Kel (did audiobook, don't know how to spell) was a little bit of a narcissist that you played with the emotions of characters and the reader. I thought this was a great heist book with a little political intrigue mixed in. Looking forward to seeing how the Ska build back up the empire and if they will make changes for the better.
