The magic system was my favorite part of this book. Allomancy is genuinely one of the coolest and most well explained magic systems I have read in fantasy. What I loved most is that it never felt like an info dump. I feel like sometimes fantasy authors throw so much information at you that it feels overwhelming and you have to reread everything to understand what is happening. That was not the case here. The way the metals work, how they are burned, the limits and the strategy behind it all felt natural and easy to follow.
The world building was also really strong. The ash falling from the sky, the mist, the oppressive Final Empire atmosphere. It all felt immersive and very intriguing
