As I promised, things pick up a lot in the next section. Still, despite its slowness, I like Part Three, as it’s the section of the book that feels the most free for natural character growth. There’s a free-spiritedness to this section of the book, where Vin is working with the crew and learning her place in things. She is forced to not use Allomancy for a while, which in turn forces her to spend more time with people. This lets us begin to establish Elend as a character.
Now, with the army’s death and the things that will happen in the next few chapters, the book can’t really be the same. Things are coming to a head, and the city is growing very tense.
