The Lord Ruler has been killed and a new government, under
the leadership of Elend Venture, has been formed. However, the death of the
Lord Ruler and his iron grip has thrown the empire into chaos. Warlords from
the different provinces have come to Luthadel to take its fabled atium
reserves, and now the fledging government is surrounded by three armies.
There's another problem - the mists have become stronger than ever, and reports
of it not going away during the daytime and even killing villages on the
outskirts of the Final Empire are making their way back to Luthadel. The old
crew must solve all of these problems in order to create a better world, one
without the tyranny of the Lord Ruler.
I enjoyed this book immensely. The story was extremely well
written and followed the first novel seamlessly. Sanderson did a great job of
making the reader feel the emotions of the characters, especially apprehensive
for all the problems in the book to be solved. The characters all had
development, and the action was written very well. Like I said before, the
systems of magic is very original and makes sense. I also liked the way the
writing jumped from one character to another, showing their thoughts, worries,
and feelings. Overall, I loved the book, and I would definitely recommend it to
others.
