The epic and not so dissatisfying conclusion to the fifth Part.
Part Five
Chapter 54
Vin battles with the blue beasts. Okay, "battle" isn't exactly the right word for it. The koloss are hardly a match for her allomantic sorceries. She basically just slaughters the cute'n cuddly red eyed killing machines, and feels great about it, too.
Vin has made a resolution. She will never kill for "shock or retribution" again. Good grief, and good riddance. Too bad there's no way shell hold to that resol
Part 4
Chapter 45
Sazed and Tindwyl are still at it. They've been at it for weeks now, and Tindwyl has been awake for practically the entire time. Just one more example of the awesome practicality of feruchemy.
They've made some pretty decent progress. The mention of the names "Rabzeen" and "Anamnesor" in the rubbings have given them a link between Kwaan's inscribings and the histories from their Tinminds. The Rabzeen was apparently fortold to be of Khlennium, and he was supposed to either f
I have finished the book. The mystery has been solved. Holy hamburgers. I am totally speechless.
Part Six
Chapter 57
The chapter starts off showing Sazed. It's been a week since Vin single-handedly spared Luthadel from a brutal Death by Koloss, and she's been sleeping the entire time, so it falls upon him to serve as acting Emperor until Elend gets back.
He's currently sitting in on a meeting between the three kings. Things are going about as smoothly as one could expect, considering that th
I'm back with three more chapters of my Well of Ascension readthrough. Yay!
Part 2
Chapter 15
This one's another Sazed chapter, which basically means it's gonna be either really short or really awesome.
It begins with Sazed awakening from slumber to find himself completely alone. He and Marsh have apparently been traveling for eight days so far. I wonder what would cause Marsh to just up and leave after more than a week of traveling. I mean, if he had a different destination from Sazed, why
Part 1
Chapter 2
Yeah, I've changed my mind about that whole bet thing. Y-You know I was joking, right?
It turns out those coins weren't thrown by the watcher after all, but by a crew of eight misting assassins. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to finally see this "Watcher" for myself, right?
Wrong.
In the middle of Vin's battle with the assassins, the Watcher shows up, gazing down on them from some rooftop...this guy kinda gives me the creeps. I can just picture his creepy litt
I'm two chapters further into my readthrough of Mistborn book 2. Moving along nicely, eh?
Part 1
Chapter 4
Yay! Sazed gets to be a PoV character in this book!
Now that the Lord Ruler has been removed, Sazed has traveled south to complete his solemn duty as a keeper. It seems like he's been sidetracked, though, because as the chapter begins he's busy investigating the death of some skaa farmer named Jed. Eyewitnesses testimonies claim that there was mist during the day, and when it envelope
I'm back with two more chapters of the second Mistborn book!
Part 1
Chapter 6
Even though Elend said he was "too busy" to join them, he ends up watching Vin and Ham's pewter-enhanced sparring session anyway. I guess he really did just want to avoid getting his chull kicked by a little girl.
Clubs shows up and bets on Vin winning the sparring match, thereby giving Elend no choice but to bet against her--not a good idea! What's Vin gonna think about this if she finds out? Has he forgotten that
I've just now noticed that, unlike in the Wheel of Time, the chapters are unnamed.
Part 1
Chapter 8
Vin is flying around in the mists like she does every night. The only difference is that Oreseur's with her this time, and she's deliberately trying to make it difficult for him to keep up time. Thanks in part to his new canine senses, the kandra able to follow her with very little difficulty.
I'm still not entirely clear on what exactly Vin does when she's out here. Does she just run around
Y'know, I just now realized I've been spelling the Terris woman's name wrong all this time. It's "Tindwyl," not "Tyndwyl." My eyes have been lowered by this shameful error.
Part 2
Chapter 20
Elend is having another gathering with the Crew(and Tindwyl). He has decided on a course of action that is mindbogglingly moronic. In spite of the Crew's opposition to the idea, he's actually planning on accepting Straff's terms for the meet. I know Elend wants Straff to think he's desperate, but this is
Three more chapters into my leisurely read through of the book.
Part 2
Chapter 24
The chapter opens with Vin sitting atop keep venture, pondering the relationship between the Misty Doom and the deaths Sazed spoke of. Pondering alone what they all should have pondered together. If any lives are lost thanks to her bloody secrecy... Was there any good reason not to bring it up back then? Goodness, man!
She can still hear can also hear that thumping coming from the mountains. I'm guessing this i
Part 3
Chapter 28
After that little shocker at the end of the previous chapter, Elend and the Crew--Tindwyl included--have decided to have a meting. Tindwyl seems to be having a bit of trouble grasping how they've gotten themselves into the position they're in right now. Yes, I know. It's hilarious. The assembly deposed him with the power HE vested in them. Is that ironic, or is there another, more fitting, word for this situation?
Despite Elend's excellent reasoning behind giving the Assemb
Two more chapters down.
Part Three
Chapter 37
Sazed has been studying all night with Tindwyl, who seems to have become quite dedicated to expanding his research now that she's finally taken a look at it. Good for her.
They've apparently spent some time studying together before. I guess this is to be expected, with them both being keepers. Sazed actually used to be member of synod before his rebellious phase, so the responsibility fell on him to share with Tindwyl the thirty-or so years worth
Finally starting the fourth Part. It begins with one short chapter, followed by a really long one. I'm not complaining, though.
Part Four
Chapter 39
Tis chapter commences with Straff riding in carriage, and Zane walking alongside him. Straff is not at all pleased with the results of his sons' assassination attempt. Yes, I imagine that he was seething with impotent rage when he heard the news of their colossal failure.
Apparently those six allomancers were one third of his secret misting pro
I have, at long last, reached the conclusion to the fourth Part, and I have even more questions than when I started it.
Part Four
Chapter 47
Vin stands on her balcony, disturbed by how un-bothered she sometimes is by all the lives she's taken. Bemoaning how complicated everything has become. She's stretched herself too thin, so she's had trouble succeeding in anything she's set out to accomplish recently. She doesn't even know what's right any more, and the Well is still out there, pulsing ev
Part 2
Chapter 18
This chapter starts with a...Zane PoV? Well. Didn't see that coming. I get to see into the soul of the Creepiest of Creepies? I'm not sure I know how to feel about this...
At the very start of the chapter it's revealed that Zane is in fact Elend's bastard brother! He's is hanging in the mists, watching Elend through opened balcony doors. God is speaking to him; commanding him to put an end to his half brother once and for all. Yes, he hears the voice of god. Does this make
In these next two chapters are completely Elend centered. Resolutions are come to, friendships are broken, and a man is made... sort of.
Part Four
Chapter 41
Sazed's doing what he's been doing all day every day for the past week; Studying with Tindwyl. While reading one of Kwaan's notes, they discover a rather shocking fact. Kwaan was Rashek's uncle. That's right, Kwaan sent his nephew with instructions to mislead and kill the supposed Hero of Ages. He succeeded. Hhe
It's pretty clear that s
Greetings! Welcome! I finished The Final Empire a few days ago, and I enjoyed it so much that I've decided to blog about books 2 and 3 when I read them.
So, without further ado...
Part 1
Chapter 1
Ash fell from.the sky...
I wonder if all the books will start with these words. The book begins with an Elend Venture PoV. He's having a conversation with Ham. Apparently it's been a year since the Aspect Emperor---I mean Lord Ruler's demise. Over the past twelve months Elend has manag
Hey everyone! Thanks for coming to read my blog. Here we are, at the end of Part 1, but it feels like the book is just beginning. I'm really looking forward to what comes next, so, let's get going.
Part 1
Chapter 10
This chapter starts from Vin's point-of-view. Elend is having a meeting with the assembly. He's finally going to present his proposal to them.
Vin is sitting with Ham at the back of the stage. The two of them are in charge of security for this event. Vin doesn't seem to like the
Salutations. I've completed Part 1, it's time to move on to Part 2! It looks like this is the longest Part in the book, so hopefully that means it's the best too...wait! Actually, scratch that. I hope Part 6 is the best part.
Part 2 : Ghosts in the Mists
Chapter 12
This one's another Sazed chapter, and I'll just say right now that it is definitely my favorite chapter so far.
Sazed and Marsh have finally made it to the Conventical of Sarand. Now that I think about it, the book doesn't really
I'm back again, with a couple more of my increasingly infrequent chapters of of Mistborn book Two! I haven't been reading very much recently because I've been, uh, busy. Yeah, busy. That's it...
On to the book!
Part 2
Chapter 13
This one starts with a Vin PoV. She's having a "conversation" with Oreseur. Pfah! More like an interrogation! Vin's trying to find a way to discover who the Kandra impostor may be, so she's asking Oreseur a few quite personal questions. His answers prove pretty intri
To more chapters into the book. Thanks to my laptop's treachery and my own incompetence, I was forced to write this blog twice, so I'm sorry if this one's even more poorly written that usual. Heh.
Part 2
Chapter 22
It is a dark and misty night. Ham finds himself leaving the the Venture keep. Walking out into the darkness without so much as a torch to light his way. His duty this evening is to check up on the guard towers surrounding the keep. Mere moments after he leaves the protective illumi
Part 2
Chapter 27
Elend decides not to make a strike, and Straff's having trouble finding any reason not to put him to death right now. The ruler that takes his place will probably be much more accommodating, and he claims that he and Cett have already made a treaty anyway. Elend thinks he's bluffing, but, try as he may, he still cannot get Straff to budge. Why is the being so stubborn? Straff says he won't let Elend have the city because home is where the heart is, and his home is in Luthade
Part 3
Chapter 31
Meet Master Philen: Wealthy merchant, respected member of the Luthadel Assembly, former master peddler of illegal goods, and, most importantly, orchestrator of the first deposition in Luthadel's short history. He is, regrettably, still looked down on by the nobles, but he himself does not, and never did, see himself as skaa like the noblemen do. In fact, he looks down on the skaa workers and thinks that they need to be put in their place. He's already coming across as a bit o
Part 3
Chapter 34
This chapter starts from Elend's perspective. He is with most of the Crew and Sazed, pointing out to Ham how utterly stupendous his suggestion to vote all of the merchants off of the assembly is. When I was a kid, I used to think "stupendous" meant "really, really stupid".
Tindwyl is here too, but, as keepers aren't allowed to take sides, she isn't lifting another finger to help Elend regain his throne. Not that she needs to; it's clear as rain on a sunny day what Elend nee
Greetings, and happy belated New Years! It's been... Wow. It has been too long since my last post. How typical. I say I'll read more often, and then hardly get to read at all. Oh well, I'm sure you all don't mind. Right?
Right?
Part Three
Chapter 36
This one's a Sazed chapter. He and Breeze are visiting with the Skaa refugees from one of Jastes's Koloss raids. These skaa are being housed in a large warehouse. It's the very building that armed the first successful Skaa rebellion. I would've t
