Oversleep Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 One word: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! That moment when Kelsier and Vin reunited, though. So heartwarming. 4
Savanorn he/him Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I was actually surprised by the Hoid sequence in general. Especially that although we've long figured he couldn't hurt people, he can apparently hurt dead people? Cool. The thing remains, how did he get offworld after the release of ruin? Did he just hang at Scadrial for three hundred years, or did Harmony's shardpool form and allow him to flee? Stuff with Leras was actually a really nice touch, especially the camaraderie, also nice to see that Leras did actually make contact with Kell in the Pits. I actually don't like that Kell was behind so much of resistance against Ruin, it kinda seems like he undercut a lot of the achievements of Vin and so on. Overall, cool to see the world expanded so.

Couldn't he have just used the well once Ruin was no longer trapped in it? Or do you imagine the Well probably isn't usable for the better part of a millennium while the power is restoring?

The well is empty post release and he had to submerge completely in its waters to cross realms.

Andy92 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I first ran across Brandon Sanderson books back in August. I've finished reading all of the main Mistborn novels up to this point (plus this novella). This novella answered some questions I had during my first read of the original trilogy. The main question that always stuck out to me was how Elend got stabbed at the Well of Ascension. They thought it was Preservation, but I thought Preservation attempting to kill someone was a blatant discrepancy of that shard's nature. Makes more sense that Kelsier put the knife into motion. That's totally something he would do lol. Had to mostly stay away from this website while I was catching up with Sanderson on most of his novels. Think I've read enough now to be able to discuss some things around here without worrying about spoilers so much. 3

Andy92 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks! Seems like a really cool community. Glad to join in.
+ILuvHats he/him Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I feel so dumb. I took me scanning this thread of posts to figure out the Ire were Elantrians. Duh!!! Their skin was fudging GLOWING!!! And i just couldn't take the hin 1
Piglet1303 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I just finished reading the novella (a year and a half late but oh well) and while I loved most of it, as a fan I think the biggest 'issue' I had was the ending with Vin and Kelsier. I think both of their actions were in character (though I thought Kelsier may have been more wanting to go to Mare) but in my head I had always enjoyed picturing Vin and Kelsier reuniting in the afterlife for longer/forever and that Kelsier would, well, stay dead. Guess it will take some time for that to absorb!
Nathrangking he/him Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 It really took the trilogy and shed a new and unexpected light on it. Suddenly everything that happened requires reexamination and thought which underscores the tremendous depth of the worlds' plots' and characters that Brandon has put together. Excellent piece of work which I hope gets a sequel.
