Skybreakdancer Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hey folks, I am planning a book club to help my friends get up to speed on Era 2 by the release of The Lost Metal, and I thought it may be helpful to pass on the breakdown I'm going with in case anyone else was interested in catching up themselves. The section breaks are mindful of story arcs and should get you there from after the July 4th holiday to a week before release. Hyperlinks are to the Coppermind summary pages, so be mindful of spoilers. Hope it helps someone!

Plug in a recap for each E2 novel (AoL, SoS, BoM) after each book but before starting the next (maybe combine BoM and second M:SH - if you split them); specifically to talk about Era 2 generalities, learned realmatics and ways that Scadrian Investiture is changng/adapting. If anybody is interested, I made a reference correlating M:SH chapters/section to Era 1 events (See below). I used this to actually edit my personal epubs and splice the SH sections into the correct locations so that my Era 1 Omnibus now has all 5 stories (I included Eleventh Metal as well - no splicing obviously, but SH is aligned to story time). Nobody really *needs* to go that far*; but, if interested, you can just read the SH chapter at the closest compatible location: Spoilers - because I also reference the applicable E1 event to which that chapter correlates Spoiler Part One - 1: TFE 34/35 - 2: TFE 38/E Part Two - 1: BTWN TFE/WoA 2 mos? weeks - months - 2: WoA - Ch 51 - Armies around Luthadel - Stabbing at Eland - 3: WoA - Ch 58 - Vin/Eland approach Well - Ruin's Release - 4: WoA - Ch 59 - After Ruin's Release Part Three - 1: WoA - Btwn 59/E - Funeral, Sent to Khriss - 2: WoA - Btwn 59/E - Meeting with Khriss - 3: WoA - Btwn 59/E - Glimpse of Spiritual Realm Part Four - 1: WoA - Btwn 59/E - Starting West - 2: Btwn WoA and HoA - Traveling West - 3: Btwn WoA and HoA - Traveling West - 4: Btwn WoA and HoA - Arriving at Ocean - btwn worlds Part Five (these don't correlate, so the chapters I used were major scene breaks that having a Kelsier scene would not hurt) - 1: HoA - after Prologue - Travel btwn realms - 2: HoA - after Ch 7 - Finding the Ire - 3: HoA - after Ch 12 - Stealing from the Ire Part Six - 1: HoA - Ch 27 - Traveling back - Arrival at Fadrex - Warning Vin - 2: HoA - Ch 37 - Siege of the Koloss - 3: HoA - Ch 47 - Fights in the army - Leaving Fadrex - 4: HoA - after Ch 55 - Leras, as preservation, dies - Kelsier Ascends - Warning Vin - 5: HoA - Ch 58 - Kelsier helps Spook throw off Ruin - 6: HoA - CH 63/64 - Spook's Dream, Message to Vin - 7: HoA - CH 69, 72 - Goradel's Journey - Vin arrives at Luthadel - Vin Ascends - 8: HoA - Ch 81 and 82 - Eland's Death, Final Clash of Vin and Ati - 9: HoA - Ch 82 - Reworking the world - E: HoA - After Epilogue - Influencing Spook * I did it as a project to work on my xml coding and practice editing epub files Edited June 7, 2022 by Treamayne SPAG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I see I'm not the only one doing something like this. I did just finish yesterday though so I can't participate unfortunatly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not, though I want to wait until we are closer to the release date before I reread Era 2, so I reread Era 1. Next I'll reread Seven Kennings (Kevin Hearne) in anticipation of book 3 (once I am sure the August release date is confirmed). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
