Wayne

[its-kelsier-again]

The Lost Metal Chapter1-Cahpter 19

Spoilers will be under the cut

Chapter 1-Chapter 19 I love how Marasi's and Wayne's friendship has progressed. Good for them.

Allik and Marasi are kinda cute. Like, I don't have any strong opinions about it one way or another, but I'm not against it.

There is something absolutely hilarious about Wax harnessing his child to him and stellpushing through the city. Also, Mas is kinds cute.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Feruchemist Cycle wasn't a naturally-born Feruchemist just because of Marasi's comment about him being unpracticed. And I was right. Hemlurgy.

Why do they want Marasi as an Avatar? Is it her connection to the others? Do they assume she would be the easiest person to copy?

Um... Was that a death rattle? It sounded like a death rattle.

Chapter 7 "Wax wasn’t worried about its reliability. Steris had designed it." The trust he has for Steris is so sweet. I love her.

I want to see more of the Allomancery Jak and Wax rivalry. I want Allomacery Jak to actually appear in the book. Please.

Chapter 8 Wayne playing cards with the people he tied up and losing the game is one of the most Wayne things he could do.

Whoever was under that mask, was it our worldhopper? Maybe Shai?

Chapter 9 Interesting that fabrial flying airships and the airships of the Malwish seemed to have come about around the same time.

Chapter 11 I love Allik. He's fantastic. He's so excited about sharing what he makes with his friends.

Melanie is going off world? Hell yeah! Also, maybe worldhopper Marasi? If Shallan is going to become a worldhopper (which is entierly possible considering RoW) it's certainly an interesting possibility if they met.

Chapter 12 Wayne and Melanie's breakup is sad. Also "sometimes you had to stand there and get shot." is a painful line.

Shadesmar mention! Will Melanie really be the first Kendra going out into the Cosmere long-term? I know there's a Kandra on Roshar, so is it her? Also, what about the terrispeople we've seen on Roshar so far? There was that one woman in Venli's flashback in RoW and I think the guy with the Avian was also a terrisman.

Chapter 13 Good job on Steris and Wax for wearing proper PPE.

I'm interested in the talks about wavelengths. It reminds me of what Navain and Raboniel did in RoW.

They're trying to do WHAT with harmonium? Will Roshar and Scadrial achieve nuclear power at the same time too? On top of that, they might be able to make lerasium?

Aaannnnnd now the metals are rwacting to each other. Great.

Chapter 14 We finally get to meet Ranette's after, like, six years? Took it long enough. Anyway, I love Jaxy. She's great. And I still love Ranette.

I like how they called Wayne out on his "trial". It is selfish and he needed to learn that.

Wayne is rich?!

Chapter 15 With all that talk about Death's book, I hope we see Marsh. How's he doing?

Allik is back with his baking and he made chocolate chip cookies! I'm really liking him.

I know it's nothing new for Kandra to be hidden among the humans, but I'm curious to see what it'll be like in Era 3. I mean, someone Marasi worked had been replaced by a Kandra six months prior.

Vendor's back with wanting people's bones (or in Allik's caee, his mask) when they die. At least he's respectful about it.

Huh. So there's pote tial that Wax could become Mistborn? I think if they managed to separate the harmonium and get lerasium, I don't believe Wax would be the one to get it. Maybe Wayne would? That would certainly be interesting...

Chapter 16 Will Tall Boring Guy and Short Boring Guy ever get names? We'll see I guess.

I like the sound of Wayne Terrisborn. Good for him. Maybe Kelsier will get a name at this point. I can't wait to see that bastard when he arrives.

I really like how this chapter shows that Wayne can be quite smart at times. Of course, he just sees himself as an idiot, which is sad.

Uh, Wax signed away his likeness rights? I'm sure that won't be important in the later eras.

With all this dead talk with Wayne, I'm concerned he might be the one to die.

Chapter 17 I'm relating to Steris again, but that's not a bad thing. A lot of things I experience, I like seeing that she experiences (and same with Renarin. Love that guy.)

Okay, now I want to see an Allik and Steris friendship.

I love Steris. She deserves the world.

Chapter 18 Does Scadrial have a noodle shop now? Is that why Hoid was there?

Chapter 19 I wonder how significant the detail about the mists not being in the city is/will be.

Okay, is Wax's mind actually playing tricks on him, or did the harmonium do something? I think the harmonium did something, especially because it was mentioned twice on the same page. I'm not quite sure what, though. Maybe enhance his allomantic abilities?

Allomancer Jak was mentioned again. I'm once again hoping he appears. I want to see some pettiness between him and Wax. Please.

The meeting at the mountain top gave me Urithiru vibes, especially when Harmony/Sazed was described as having one black side and one white side. That specifically reminded me of the Oathgate spren.

Trell is revealed?! This early. Wow. I wonder why Autonomy's doing this. What does she have to gain from this? Or what does Trell have to gain from this? Is it because she wants Scadrial? If so, why? Does it have something to do with Odium?

I'm curious about the sword. Is it really Wax, or are we going to have another Hero of Ages situation and it's actually someone else?

Telsin has become a much bigger problem than before. Yay.

I wonder if the key to figuring out harmonium will somehow help Sazed.

Harmony's point about possibly being pain for Wax is making me nervous. Will Wax loose something important to him,, like his abilities? Is Wayne going to die?

I wonder when the letters to Hoid in RoW take place. Is it before TLM? During it? During RoW? I'm pretty sure RoW takes place after TLM/Era 2. I wonder if those letters have clues/hints in them.

[butwhybother]

Does anybody else get real jumpy about spotting world hoppers in the cosmere? Like when a character is described as having a strange accent, you think, 'hmm, world hopper' but also when a character is wearing a hat you think, 'Wayne?!?!'

Someone wearing metal rings -- feruchemist?

Someone with long limbs -- Terrisman?

Someone with a musical instrument -- Hoid?

Someone uses colors -- Hallendren?

There's grey stuff -- Awakener?

Someone's very grumpy -- Vasher? (I mean, he can change his appearance, so his extraordinary grumpiness is the only constant to identify him by.)

[nerd-in-distress]

steris is the funniest person ever

thinking about the hotel scene in the bands of mourning

[uneditedbookreview]

Reading Allomamcer Jak before diving into The Alloy of Law.

At times I tire of Sanderson's humor (looking at you Wayne, Lopen). But this short piece featuring a blowhard gentleman adventurer is great. Glad Sazed wasn't the only sassy Terrisman to live on Scadrial.

Also a Jak-Wax-Wayne meet up someday would be sublime.

Original Review

Review:

I have finished rereading the original Mistborn trilogy! If you haven’t read the Wax and Wayne series or Secret History then I recommend you read my original review instead. I really enjoyed this book because I actually understood what was going on and it didn’t take like nine months to read. It was amazing!

“I am, unfortunately, the Hero of Ages.”—Page 3

I just became an all-powerful god and I saved the world but holy me it sucks blue koloss balls!

Elend has grown up so much.

“The general wore well-used armor of leather and steel, his face bearing a scar on one cheek, the left side of his scalp missing a large patch of hair where a koloss blade had nearly taken his head.”—Page 76

Important.

“Black is so monotonous that you can forget about it, but red—you’d always be thinking, ‘Why, look at that. That hill is red. That evil force of doom trying to destroy me certainly has style’.”—Breeze (Of course), Page 86

Breeze would clearly be the best force of doom.

“‘I’m not convinced there is any ‘evil force of doom’, Breeze,’ Sazed said.”—Page 86

That’s the evil force of doom talking, Sazed.

“‘He didn’t recruit me,’ Cett pointed out. ‘I got pulled by my balls into this little fiasco.’”—Page 107

Like I said before, I do love this asshole.

“‘You’re one of us,’ Human said. Vin looked up. ‘Me?’ ‘You’re like us,’ he said. ‘Not like them.’ ‘Why do you say that?’ Vin asked. Human looked down at her. ‘Mist,’ he said.”—Page 141

Even Human knows.

And now Spook has been stabbed with a hemalurgic spike and sees Kelsier…or “Kelsier”.

“They should never have given children of a new generation to be raised by a Third.”—MeLaan, Page 178

I guess I totally misread MeLaan and TenSoon’s relationship the first time I read this because I thought it was romantic but apparently it’s more parent-child/teacher-student.

“For the greater good.”—Vin, Page 187

The greater good.

So apparently Slowswift is a homage to Tolkien. I also do love Cett use to write poetry.

“Vin said nothing. Belief in the Lord Ruler was misplaced. If he’d been a god, then he wouldn’t have been able to kill him. In her mind, it was rather simple matter.”—Page 230

Actually killing gods in the cosmere is surprisingly easy.

“She picked an informant on the other side of the spectrum—a beggar named Hoid whom Cett claimed could be found in a particular square late a night.”—Page 231

Hi, Hoid. Also Vin, leaving Hoid was a mistake. He could have given you important advice about how to handle Ruin or give the reader more information about the cosmere.

“Gunpowder, for instance, was so frowned upon by Rashek that knowledge of its use disappeared almost as quickly as knowledge of the Terris religion.”—Page 235

Ay, gun reference.

“‘Well, then,’ he said. ‘Let’s do it.’ ‘What?’ Vin asked. ‘Save the world,’ Elend said. ‘Stop the ash.’”—Page 238

A simple task.

“Oh, come on. You have to admit that you’re unusual, Vin. You’re like some strange mixture of a noblewoman, a street urchin, and a cat. Plus, you’ve managed—in our short three years together—to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That’s kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It’s a strange foundation for a relationship, wouldn’t you say?”—Elend, Page 239

This is the greatest and most accurate summary of Vin.

The ball scene is coming and I’m so excited.

“Rashek wore both black and white. I think he wanted to show that he was a duality, Preservation and Ruin. This, of course, was a lie. After all, he had only touched one of the powers—and only in a very small way at that.”—Page 268

Interesting.

“‘Ladies,’ Elend said to the women, ‘as Lady Vin herself will be quick to tell you, I’m rather ill-mannered. That, in itself, would be a very small sin. Unfortunately, I’m also quite unconcerned about my own disregard for propriety. So, therefore, I’m going to steal my wife away from you all and selfishly monopolize her time. I’d apologize, but that’s not the sort of thing we barbarians do.’”—Pages 290-291

I love Elend when he’s at these parties because he’s so sassy.

“At that moment—as the music began—Elend reached into his pocket and pulled out a book. He raised it with one hand, and the other one her waist, and began to read.”—Page 292

He’s also an adorable little shithead.

Allomancy is of Preservation, Hemalurgy is of Ruin and Feruchemy is a balance. Funny.

It’s interesting that Demoux is bring up the 16 number. Is he doing this deliberately? Because y’know worldhopper business.

“‘I am human,’ the large beast said quietly.”—Page 336

Chills.

“Even now, I can barely grasp the scope of all this. The events surrounding the end of the world seem even longer than the Final Empire and the people within it. I sense shards of something from long ago, a fractured presence, something spanning the void. I have delved and searched, and have only been able to come up with a single name: Adonasium. Who, or what, it was, I do not yet know.”—Pages 344-345

This is why we reread.

Vin is really bad figuring out who’s a Mistborn. First she thought Cett was and now Yomen.

“I’ve always been with you. You’ve heard me in your mind since your first years of life.”—Page 406

This is such a good twist.

“He sat down at the table, opening his portfolio, taking out the next sheet in the line. It listed the tenets of the Nelazan people, who had worshipped the god Trell. Sazed had always been partial to this religion because of its focus on learning and study of mathematics and the heavens.  He’d saved it for near the end, but had done so more out of worry than anything else. He’d wanted to put off what he’d known would happen. Sure enough, as he read about the religion, he saw the holes in its doctrines. True, the Nelazan had known a great deal about astronomy, but their teachings on the afterlife were sketchy—almost whimsical. Their doctrine was purposefully vague, they’d taught, allowing all men to discover truth for themselves.”—Page 410

Trell has been mentioned again.

“‘Once we’re done, maybe you could introduce me to the emperor and empress,’ Beldre said. ‘They sound like interesting people.’”—Page 479

Oh, you will meet them…

“Kill him, Ruin’s voice whispered. You can do it. Take a weapon from one of those soldiers, the use it on Yomen.”—Page 489

Why is Ruin acting how he was with Zane? I think a more effective tactic would to still act more like Reen.

“These two minds were, of course, independent of the raw force of their powers. Actually, I am uncertain of how thoughts and personalities came to be attached to the powers in the first place—but I believe they were not there originally. For both powers could be detached from the minds that ruled them.”—Page 490

I guess the shards are corrupting the person who is using them. In Hoid’s letter in Way of Kings it mentions that Ati use to be really nice and then he became Ruin.

“I will kill you, the words said. Death, death, death. ‘Wel…that’s pleasant,’”—Page 495

I am Elend.

“If Elend had waited just a few more minutes on that ashen field, he would have seen a body—short of stature, black hair, prominent nose—fall from the mists and slump dead into the ash. As it was, the corpse was left alone to be buried in ash. The world was dying. Its gods had to die with it.”—Page 499

Bye, Fuzz.

“I have come to see that each power has three aspects: a physical one, which can be seen in the creations made by Ruin and Preservation; a spiritual one in the unseen energy that permeates all of the world; and a cognitive one in the minds which controlled that energy.”—Page 507

Cosmere things!

“Survive!”—Page 525

Hey, Kell.

Elend don’t you dare attack, this is a bad idea.

“So, what if Ruin couldn’t find the storages on his own because of the metal shielding them? He would have needed someone to lead him. Someone to visit each one, read the map it contained, then lead him on… Lord Ruler! We’ve made the same mistake again! We did exactly what he wanted. No wonder he’s let us live!”—Page 571

I literally face-palmed at this realization. God, Ruin is so clever.

“Good lad. You did well, Spook. I’m proud.”—Page 577

Chapter 64 makes a lot more sense after Secret History.

“‘Lady Vin saved my life,’ Goradel said. ‘The night of the Survivor’s rebellion, she could have left me to die at the hands of the mob. She could have killed me herself. But she took the time to tell me that she understood what I’d been through, and convinced me to switch sides. If she needs this information, Survivor, then I will get it to her, or I will die trying.’”—Page 579

Aw, that’s so sad. He’s such a good man.

I can already tell watching Elend and Vin die for a second time…well third if you count Secret History, is going to be a depressing experience.

“‘We will be asking the questions here, Terrisman!’ said one of the aristocratic kandra. Sazed paused, turning. ‘No,’ he said. ‘No, you will not.’”—Page 604

Oh snap.

“The question remains, where did the original prophecies about the Hero of Ages come from? I now know that Ruin changed them, but did not fabricate them. Who first taught that a Hero would come, one who would be an emperor of all mankind, yet would be rejected by his own people? Who first state he would carry the future of the world on his arms, or that he would repair that which had been sundered? And who decided to use the neutral pronoun, so that we wouldn’t know if the Hero was a woman or a man?”—Page 608

Good question. Do we know? Was it Hoid? It was probably Hoid...

“‘I apologize,’ Sazed said. ‘This is a personal problem, not related to the fate of the Hero of Ages.’ ‘Please, speak,’ one of the others said.”—Page 623

We’re a bunch of old farts, we’ll give you some advice to help with your faith crisis.

If the Terris religion is all about Preservation, then is there a religion that’s all about Ruin?

“‘The sliver remains,’ another reminded. ‘The shadow of self.’”—Page 660

Foreshadowing.

“Welcome, Ruin said, to godhood.”—Page 664

Becoming god. Like you do. Okay, this is the cosmere, so it’s not as uncommon as you might think.

“[Ruin] must have known that by giving her a disguised Hemalurgic spike, he would keep the mists from investing themselves in her as they wished.”—Page 680

Invested as in Investiture?

“Then, with his free hand, the kandra reached toward his own shoulder.”—Page 685

I’m so bitter that Vin never got to see her puppy before she died.

“‘In the end, they will kill us,’ Elend said, voice loud, ringing in the cavern. ‘But first, they shall fear us!’”—Page 701

Yeah the second read through is going kill me.

“The axe took of Elend’s head.”—Page 710

Brandon is so evil.

“So few left of the original crew, she thought. Kelsier dead so long ago. Dockson and Clubs slaughtered at the Battle of Luthadel. Yeden dead with his soldiers. OreSeur taken at Zane’s command. Marsh, fallen to become an Inquisitor. And the other who joined us, now gone as well. Tindwyl, TenSoon, Elend…”—Page 711

Brandon does like killing his characters. Also TenSoon aint dead!

“You created the thing that can kill you, Ruin, Vin said. And you just made one huge final mistake. You shouldn’t have killed Elend. You see, he was the only reason I had left to live.”—Page 712

Goodbye world, I’m so depressed.

“Beside her, atop the pile of dead koloss, lay another body. It was that of a man with red hair, one whom Sazed did not recognize, but he ignored it.”—Page 713

Hey, Ati.

“There had been a people known as the Nelazan. They had worshipped the stars, had called them the Thousand Eyes of their god, Trell, watching them.”—Page 716

Trell, again.

“Ruin and Preservation were dead, and their powers had been joined together. In fact, they belonged together. How had they been split?”—Page 718

Ask Hoid, he was there.

The sky is blue and the grass is green.

“At the center of the flowers, he found two people. Vin lay wearing her customary mistcloak, shirt, and trousers. Elend was in a brilliant white uniform, complete with cape. They were holding hands as they lay amid the flowers. And they were both dead.”—Page 723

It’s so sad and beautiful. End me..

Original Review

Note: Ahhh the book that started it this Brandon Sanderson addiction. Note that there will be spoilers for all the Mistborn books including the Wax and Wayne series and Mistborn: Secret History. So if you haven’t rad all those then don’t read this reread ramble…review thing.

Review:

Hearing how the noblemen treat the skaa is so sad.

“‘Very well, Tresting,’ the obligator said. ‘I will carry your proposal to Lord Venture, as requested. He will have a favorable report from me on your operations here.’ Tresting held in a sigh of relief. An obligator was required to wintess any contract or business deal between noblemen. True, even a lowly obligator like the ones Tresting employed could serve as such a witness—but it meant so much more to impress Straff Venture’s own obligator.”—Page 3

Hey, Straff Venture is mentioned.

“‘Local lords rule in the West,’ Kelsier said, ‘and they are far from the iron grip of the Lord Ruler and his obligators. Some of these distant noblemen are finding that happy skaa make better workers than mistreated skaa. One man, Lord Renoux, has even ordered his taskmasters to stop unauthorized beatings. There are whispers that he’s considering paying wages to his plantation skaa, like city craftsmen might learn.’”—Page 8

Gee, I wonder why he’s doing that.

“‘But, what of us?’ Tepper asked, terrified. ‘What will happen when the Lord Ruler hears this? He’ll think that we did it! He send us to the Pits, or maybe just send his koloss to slaughter us outright! Why would that troublemaker do something like this? Doesn’t he understand the damage he’s done?’”—Page 15

Hey, Koloss have been mentioned.

“And Vin liked solitude. When you’re alone, no one can betray you. Reen’s words.”—Page 19

Hey, Ruin. I forgot how paranoid Vin was.

Hey, Dockson! God this book is depressing, it’s reminding me of all the people who die in the future books.

For some reason I find that Camon trying to swindle Marsh is just hilarious. Like dude that’s a mistake.

“That left only the small box that contained her personal effects: a pebble from each city she’d visited, the earring Reen and Vin’s mother had given her, and a bit of obsidian the size of a large coin. It was chipped into an irregular pattern—Reen had carried it as some kind of good luck charm.”—Page 46

Do you think Vin still collects pebbles from the cities she visits after she joined Kell’s Crew? Also the earring of evilness.

Dox is so done with Kell’s shit.

Pfffft 8 metals? Try 16.

“The newcomer wore a dull tan overcoat, a pair of brown trousers, and a simple white shirt. However, his face was far more distinctive than his clothing. It was knotted and gnarled like a twisted piece of wood, and his eyes shone with the level of disapproving dissatisfaction only the elder can display.”—Page 69

I love that “level of disapproving dissatisfaction” quote.

Overthrow the Final Empire? Really a simple task, it only takes one book.

“‘Kelsier,’ Ham said slowly. ‘The Lord Ruler is the Sliver of Infinity. He’s a piece of God Himself.’”—Page 82

An interesting way of describing the Lord Ruler.

“The trick is to never stop looking. There’s always another secret.”—Kelsier, Page 84

Is this the motto of the cosmere fandom?

House Venture comes up a lot and I never noticed, I guess because they’re like the most powerful house.

“I can feel our goal now, can sense it, though the others cannot. It…pulses, in my mind, far off in the mountains.”—Page 104

Pulses are bad.

This planning to take the Lord Ruler down would work a lot better if they had Steris.

“Suddenly, Breeze laughed. He leaned back in his chair, downing the last of his wine. ‘You blessed madman! You killed him, didn’t you? Renoux—you killed him and replaced him with an impostor.’”—Page 122

Well, you aren’t wrong.

“‘I’m sure that you do—but I have to be honest with you, Kell. Despite what she did…sometimes I wish that you hadn’t been the one to survive the Pits.’ ‘I wish the same thing every day.’”—Page 131

Oh shit, I forgot about this quote.

“‘Good,’ Kelsier said happily. ‘Now, let’s go jump over that wall.’ ‘What?’ He left her standing dumbfounded in the street. She watched him approach the base of the wall, then scurried over to him. ‘You’re insane!’ she said quietly. Kelsier smiled. ‘I think that’s the second time today you’ve said that to me. You need to pay better attention—if you’d been listening to everyone else, you’d know that my sanity departed long ago.’ ‘Kelsier,’ she said, looking up at the wall. ‘I can’t…I mean, I’ve never really even used Allomancy before this evening!’ ‘Yes, but you’re such a quick learner,’ Kelsier said, pulling something out from beneath his cloak.”—Page 145

God, Kelsier.

I forgot how weird the Mistwraiths are and how I want nothing to do with them. Do they still exist post-Harmony?

“Then she saw the carriage. It was parked by the side of the highroad, and Vin could see that there was a man waiting beside it. ‘Ho, Sazed,’ Kelsier said, walking forward.”—Page 154

SAZED! MY CHILD!

“‘Did he beat you often?’ Vin asked. Kelsier frowned. ‘Beat me? No, he didn’t beat me at all.’ ‘You stopped him, then?’ Vin said. ‘Maybe that’s why he doesn’t like you. How did you escape? Did you run, or were you just stronger than him?’ ‘Vin, Marsh never tried to beat me. We argued, true—but we never really wanted to hurt one another.’ Vin didn’t contradict him, but he could see in her eyes that she didn’t believe him. What a life… Kelsier thought, falling silent.”—Page 156

Oh god, Vin doesn’t believe Kell when he says Marsh didn’t beat him. Oh god, that’s so sad, my poor baby.

Aw, Vin and Elend will never be able to see the green plants.

“I can’t eat like this, she finally thought with frustration. ‘Could you not stand over my shoulder like that?’ Sazed nodded. He took two steps forward so that he stood next to her chair, rather than behind it. He adopted the same stiff posture, looming above her just he had before. Vin frowned in annoyance, then noticed the smile on Sazed’s lips. He glanced down at her, eyes twinkling at his joke, then walked over and seated himself in the chair besides her.”—Page 163

You sassy Terrisman, I love you.

“Vin sighed, rolling her eyes. ‘Fine.’ It isn’t like I can do anything else but sit here. ‘I think I have the perfect religion for you.’  Sazed said, his normally stoic face revealing a glimmer of eagerness ‘It is called ‘Trelagism,’ after the god Trell. Trell was worshipped by a group known as the Nelazan, a people who lived far to the north. In their land, the day and night cycle was very old. During some months of the year, it was dark for most of the day. During the summer, however, it only grew dark for a few hours at a time. ‘The Nelazan believed that there was beauty in darkness, and that the daylight was more profane. They saw the stars as the Thousand Eyes of Trell watching them. The sun was the single, jealous eye of Trell’s brother, Nalt. Since Nalt only had one eye, he made it blaze  brightly to outshine his brother. The Nelazan, however, were not  impressed, and preferred to worship the quiet Trell, who watched over them even when Nalt obscured the sky.’”—Page 178

This is why we reread Brandon Sanderson.

Whoa there, Marsh’s nickname was Iron Eyes…little on the nose there.

ELEND VENTURE TIME!!! I have a massive crush on Elend Venture he’s just so…charming and funny and cute.

“‘My coin pouch,’ Kelsier said, smiling. ‘A good thief can steal clever tricks as easily as he steals boxing. I’ve started being more careful since you tailed me last week—at first, I assumed you were a Venture Mistborn.’ ‘They have some?’”—Page 239

Heh…yeah, they do.

“Vin shrugged. ‘To tell you the truth, I’d kind of like to see one of those flowers for myself.’”—Page 287

Well, that sucks.

“I can’t believe people read books this big, she thought.”—Page 300

When noobs look at my cosmere collection.

I forgot what a bitch Shan was, her and Hashal from Roshar should get together.

Kell met Hoid and Straff.

“‘Lord Kelsier,’ the foremost man said, saluting. ‘My name is Captain Demoux. Please, gather the recruits and come with me—General Hammond is eager to meet with you.’”—Page 345

Demoux!

I wonder if that Handkerchief thing is still a thing in the later eras.

“Spook frowned. ‘Niceing the not on the playing without.’ ‘I have no idea what you just said, child,’ Breeze said. ‘So I’m simply going to pretend it was coherent, then move on.’ Kelsier rolled his eyes. ‘Losing the stress on the nip,’ he said. ‘Notting without the needing of care.’ ‘Riding the rile of the rids to the right,’ Spook said with a nod. ‘What are you two babbling about?’ Breeze said testily. ‘Wasing the was of brightness,’ Spook said. ‘Nip the having of wishing of this.’ ‘Ever wasing the doing on this,’ Kelsier agreed.’ ‘Ever wasing the wish of having the haven,’ Ham added with a smile. ‘Brighting the wish of wasing the not.’ Breeze turned to Dockson with exasperation. ‘I believe our companions have finally lost their minds, dear friend.’ Dockson shrugged. Then, with a perfectly straight face, he said, ‘Wasing not wasing is.’ Breeze sat, dumbfounded, and the room burst into laughter. Breeze rolled his eyes, indignantly, shaking his head and muttering about the crew’s gross childishness.”—Page 397-398

I love my babies so much.

“Maybe I should pay just a little more attention to things like that, Elend thought to himself. Valette suffers my hair the way it is, but would she like it better if I had it styled?”—Page 471

Aw, I adore Elend.

“His father sat in his chair, speaking quietly with TenSoon—the Venture Kandra. Elend still wasn’t used to the creature’s most recent body, which had once belonged to a servant in the Hasting household. Elend shivered as it noticed him. It bowed, then quietly retreated from the room.”—Page 474

TenSoon! My baby!

“We Mistborn need not make sense,”—Kelsier, Page 489

Aw, Vin said that in the Hero of Ages, she got it from Kelsier!

I loved the Vin-Shan fight, it was so epic.

“‘Elend, how can you read at times like this?’ Jastes asked. Elend looked up from his book. ‘It calms me.’”—Page 524

I think it might have been the way the audiobook narrator said this line but it made me laugh.

“I pretty much ended atium production in the Final Empire for the next three hundred years or so.”—Kelsier, page 550

300 years you say?

“Farewell. I’ll tell Mare about you. She always wanted a daughter.”—Page 586

Bullshit, you couldn’t just let go and now you’re off terrorizing Spook.

“‘Valette?’ Elend asked, stupefied. Vin jumped up, grabbing him a joyful embrace, hanging onto him rightly and burying her face into his shoulder. ‘You came back,’ she whispered. ‘You came back, you came back, you came back…’ ‘Um, yes. And…I see that you’re a Mistborn. That’s rather interesting. You know, it’s generally common courtesy to tell one’s friends about things like that.’ ‘Sorry,’ she mumbled, still holding on to him. ‘Well, yes,’ he said, sounding very distracted. ‘Um, Valette? What happened to your clothes?’ ‘They’re on the floor over there,’ she said, looking up at him. ‘Elend, how did you find me?’ ‘Your friend, one Master Dockson, told me that you’d been captured in the palace. And well, this fine gentleman here—Captain Goradel, I believe his name is—happened to be a palace solider, and he knew the way here. With his help—and as a nobleman of some rank—I was able to get into the building without much problem, and then we heard screaming down this hallway…And, um, yes. Valette? Do you think you cold put your clothes on? This is…kind of distracting.’”—Page 616-617

I love this scene so much. They’re one of my favorite pairings.

“‘You don’t understand,’ he wheezed. ‘You don’t know what I do for mankind. I was your god, even if you couldn’t see it. By killing me, you have doomed yourselves…’”—Page 632

Yeah…this really messed things up. But no time to worry about that, I finished this book! At like four in the morning but it was great. I’ve missed this world and these characters so much. It was just as good as when I first read it, if not a little sadder because I know who’s going to die and it makes me sad. I really enjoyed this book and hopefully in 2017 I will reread the rest of the series.
