"I peeked out and saw the end of the world..."

[A Begger from Scadrial]

I was told to move, to get inside the small cave hidden under a small village. I peeked out and saw the end of the world, my world. I saw flames destroying crops and the air caught in my lungs, hot and humid, always with the ash. 

I saw large sections of earth tear itself from itself and move. The waters churn and freeze. True air filling my lungs, the ashmounts a mere memory. I was told to move away, to stop watching the world change. Though I couldn't. I couldn't stop my eyes from screaming, I couldn't stop my lungs from laughing uproariously. Though I was settled with a damning notion

I may have lived through the end. But I also have to live through its beginning.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Favourite would be Well of Ascension as it had the most emotion out of all of the first trilogy (personal opinion of course)(although Mistborn:SH is a close second.)

My favourite character would be Spook, I really identified with him as I've never been too good with my diction

Thanks, glad to be here. 

 

Not all of it. I think I have RoW to finish. But the major points got spoilers on me

What about Mistborn era 2 (Wax & Wayne)? And if so, did you like it?

Wayne has got to be easily my favourite in that era, one of the best descriptors of a method actor. 

Wax, I find to be a very well rounded conflicted character and sometimes it's hard to believe his heritage. (In regards to Breeze as his ancestor, I easily see Breeze in Suit) .

Overall I cannot wait for The Lost Metal. Or any Mistborn really. I bought the box set when I was younger and have been hooked ever since

Welcome to the Shard! Great intro!

[Mardy]

What an entrance! Lovely post ^^ welcome, welcome! Hope you enjoy the rest of RoW!  I can highly recommend listening to the podcast episode they release here after you’ve finished the book! Such a nice in depth analysis and discussion of what actually happened in the book!
