All of that considered, I know the beginning is kind of slow. That’s how my books are—while I can often start with a bang in the first few chapters, I then need to go into building mode so that I can earn my climaxes in the later third. We need to have some scenes explaining Allomancy in detail, for instance, before we can have scenes like happen in the next chapter.
Still, I like a lot about the introduction to this book. Vin’s character comes off very strongly, and the plot is established quickly—something I sometimes have trouble doing.
