Random thought while we're waiting for the midnight release (Minor Mistborn Spoilers)

[vineyarddawg]

It had been a while since I first read AoL, so I started re-reading it about a week ago in anticipation of Shadows of Self coming out. Finished the re-read on Friday, but I didn't want to start a new book since I knew SoS was coming out Tuesday, so I decided to jump back and start re-reading Mistborn. 

 

I have to admit, reading about Kelsier and Vin using their Mistborn powers was actually pretty jarring after getting used to Wax and Wayne's version of Scadrial.  Early in the book when Kelsier first uses Steel, then switches to Iron when breaking into Keep Venture, I immediately thought, "Wait!  He can't do... ooooooohhhh, right.  Mistborn."  And then he gets into the fight with the Venture Hazekillers and Allomancers, and I nearly passed out from shock. (Ok, not really, but it does take a little getting used to.   )
