urrutiap Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Earlier today i finished reading the last couple pages of Mistborn. Good book even though it was pretty much a fantasy adventure version of Ocean's 11. Now I just started reading Well of Ascension 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm going to be as vague as possible here, but still spoiler it just in case. Not much of a spoiler, honestly, just a small tidbit. Spoiler Things get a lot less Ocean's 11 going forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more since you act like youre the Mistborn expert know it all You are being very unnecessarily hostile. I just wanted to offer a bit of reassurance, since you seemed very critical of those portions of TFE. Guess I know better than to try that with you again. Or anything else. Not that that's much of a loss on your end, huh? Edited April 4, 2020 by Invocation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 also, most people on this forum have read mistborn a half dozen times, have read the author's commentary, and the various related extra tidbits that brandon released in various interviews and q&a with fans, and discussed it in the forum in depth. So yes, I do believe everyone answering to a mistborn post here is most likely to be a mistborn expert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urrutiap Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Invocation, Besides Mistborn having an Oceans 11 plot, the rest of the book is good even though I was getting hored with the characters hopping around from rooftops to rooftops with them eating swallowing metal like it was candy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsecaller_17.5 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 @urrutiap if allomancy bothers you that much no ones making you read mistborn. And Invocation has been around for more than long enough to qualify as a mistborn expert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urrutiap Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Its not bothering me. Im just saying that the first book did go a bit overboard with the Oceans 11 type set up. the rest of the book was good. Thats my opinion. You dont need jump on my damnation back about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't. They simply told you that it no longer continued in that vein. They did not mean to be offensive, and they weren't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 brandon himself acknowledged that a heist story like ocean eleven was part of his inspiration. he said that his first plan was to make the book a full heist story, but then as he wrote other elements took over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I think most of us qualify as Mistborn experts considering we know more about it then anyone else on the planet with only a few hundred exceptions. Oceans eleven was an inspiration. Ninjad. Edited April 5, 2020 by Karger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
