Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Kelsier is gone, but Vin and the rest of his crew have continued to change the world. Elend is king and has set up a form of government that is more in the hands of the people. His father and other kings won't let that kingdom stand for long. And even bigger than that is the relationship between the Mists, Vin, and the defeated Lord Ruler. Vin has more to do in this new kingdom than just being a Mistborn.

My personal opinion (the review)
This book is excellent! There are a handful of new characters to learn, but not so many as to be overwhelming. It's clean, well-written, and very interesting. Zane is very disturbed and hears voices, so if that bothers you, find a summary of this book and move to the next in the series. I own the whole series, and it's worth every penny.
Warnings
Language: Mild and rare
Violence: Plentiful, some of it fairly graphic
"Adult" situations: Several references to mistresses, one mention of a woman being topless
Death: Yes, and of major character(s)
Movie rating equivalent
PG-13, for violence
Protagonist description
Vin is a reluctant hero, but getting more comfortable with the idea
Point of view of story
Third person, but focused on a central character, which shifts
Book length
Long
Story flow
Excellent
Grammar and spelling issues
Just a couple, but nothing extremely distracting
Character connection (no spoilers)
I'd like to learn more about Breeze and the Mist Spirit

Series review as a whole
Phenomenal, definitely my favorite of the year. It has a deep history, magic, well-developed characters, and a thrilling pace.
