Reactions to the Mistborn Series

[Feloxia she/her]

On tumblr I sometimes stumble across people's liveblogging reactions to Mistborn, and most of the time they're pretty funny. And then I feel bad....

BUT ANYWAYS, this is one of the best reaction post series I've seen:

-Final Empire

-Well of Ascension

-Hero of Ages

Some of my favorite quote:

"IS THIS THE END OF ORESEUR SKJFKSDHG CRYING OVER A TALKING DOG THIS IS MY LIFE"

"wow you guys weren’t kidding when you said things only got worse, huh? hahahahahahahahah hysterical sobbing"

"Oh great now I’m attatched to Human. Just kill me."

"be extraordinary at job. get ritually killed and controlled by evil force. there’s just no winning sometimes."

"i’m glad vin is feeling peaceful cause i’m broken inside"

Anyone else have awesome reaction stories?

That was fun to read

[PeterAhlstrom he/him]

Hilarious. Let me know if this person does Way of Kings.

[CrazyRioter she/her]

I read "attracted" instead of "attached" there. damnation you brain. I think I broke myself.

The rest of the reactions are hilarious. I hope this person does WoK also.

[Yados]

I read these and thought "Oh man, I should follow this person on tumblr."

So I scrolled to the top and it turned out I already do.

It was a great feel.

I recall from an earlish episode of the RPGBacktrack podcast one guest describing the Mistborn series as something like "the repeated use of 'Nice Job Breaking it, Hero' before things finally get better." (for the characters. He loves Sanderson's books.) Certainly not as amusing as those comments on Tumblr.

I shall I'm hoping they do!

Oh my goodness, that is so funny xP

That's pretty much how it it, though.

We also have chapter-by-chapter review of WoA on this very site, under blogs.

[Quantum Toast he/him]

I saw the HoA one last week, didn't know they'd done the other two though.

LOL I read the exact same thing the first time. It confused me so much I had to go back and re-read it

A website error has prevented me from upvoting this post, so I must reward you on breaking me as well.

Perhaps that's not a behavior that ought to be encouraged.

EDIT: Also, "I AM GOING TO EAT MY CURTAINS NOW AND CRY ON THE FLOOR" is basically my instinctive reflex to everything.

Ah, yes, I was looking through those a while ago. I should look at the newer ones as well.

ALSO, she has completed Way of Kings as well

There are a few posts for this one.

Her first one was basically:

"30 pages in The Way of Kings and Brandon is already blowing my mind and making me feel inadequate.

Well done, sir."

And here are the links for the rest (SPOILERS):

Second

Third

Fourth

Fifth

[Zas678 he/him]

I feel like I read all of Brandon's awesome moments. All within 30 seconds of each other. Those are fantastic.

[Windrunner he/him]

Feloxia, thank you! Thank you! this just made my day. I'm taking the whole Mistborn roller coaster all over again.

[Feloxia she/her]

Feloxia, thank you! Thank you! this just made my day. I'm taking the whole Mistborn roller coaster all over again.

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it

And that happens to me every time I read her reactions.

[Strawberry Eggs she/her]

"THIS IS SO GOOD I JUST LEAPT FROM MY BED AND STARTED HITTING THINGS IN MY APARTMENT"

I think I did something similar to that the first time I read the part in question.

[Chaos he/him]

Omigosh that was so REDACTED hilarious. Especially the Hero of Ages one. I'm dying laughing.

[Lady_Yasha she/her]

Omigosh that was so REDACTED hilarious. Especially the Hero of Ages one. I'm dying laughing.

Seconded. I got to the, "oh I'll just move this closer to the sun...", and cracked a rib.

P.S. I did shout "what the REDACTED" on a train once at a part in Hero of Ages. Can't recall what it was but everyone was looking at me.

If I'm listening to music at the same time I tend to giggle at funny parts... loudly. That can be awkward when I realise the guy sitting next to me has moved.

wow. that was great. Thanks for finding that for us. It's good to know i'm not the only one having embarrassing emotional outbursts while reading in public. lol

[PeterAhlstrom he/him]

The Taravangian reaction was hilarious.

[Inkthinker]

Also "Dalinar and Andolin facing death". Though the gif for that was somewhat closer to what I felt when reading Taravangian's reveal.

[Inkthinker]

Dangit. Double-post.

The Taravangian reaction was hilarious.

WoK Spoilers

Nooo, not Taravangian!

*moments later*

HE’S THE—? NO, NOT TARAVANGIAN!

My favorite so far, I think. Still reading the Mistborn ones.
