I enjoyed it a lot! (I thought that bit about "Ahlstrom square" was completely unrealistic, though :P ) Got a question--where do the mistcloaks come from? Do people make their own? When Kelsier gave Vin her cloak I kind of expected him to say something about who had made it.
I also have an urge to ask how there can be fruits and vegetables with no flowers.
And I feel compelled to work "maladroitly" into casual conversation.

I considered the fruits and veggies question, and decided that if there were a being who could remake the world as he wished, he could come up for a way for that all to work without flowers. Remember, plants and the like in thee final empire are more hardy, yet have a tougher time reproducing. People included.
As for mistcloaks, they come from the same 'specialist' merchants who make their living selling metal dusts and vials with suspended solution to Allomancers. I don't talk a lot about them in the book; they're a very secretive class of people who observe strict 'non-disclosure' policies so that Allomancers can buy from them and maintain their secrecy.

That makes sense! Thanks!
