Child Bahkbar

You did indeed, but I still didn't have the slightest idea that the said main character would turn out to be the very cause of the apocalypse.

Definitely my favorite part of the book(so far). All the things you mentioned, plus Straff finally getting his just desserts, make this one of the most enjoyable parts of the series for me. I honestly think it's up there with Kelsier's slaying of the Inquisitor, and his final sacrifice. Although, perhaps not quite so awesome as that.

Well, I guess there aren't many times when one should need to flare Tin. Actually, as I recall, Lestibournes seems to be the only one who actually does it.

Ah, I see. I didn't know that flaring pewter worked that way. If that's the case, though, then flaring Tin "sufficiently often" should have a similar lasting effect, no?

Good, I mean, that makes me feel better about myself.

Ah, that's right! Thanks, I'd forgotten about that.

There are so many better questions about their purpose, but I can't help asking, "How do they sleep with all those spikes in them?"

Eleven? Dang. No wonder he's so grim all the time. haha I wonder where they're all placed...

Thank you for putting up with me, and for taking the time to read and comment. It's been good fun so far.

Yeah, it must be pretty hysterical reading some of my assumptions when you know exactly what's going on. Heck, once I'm done with the book, I'll probably have a laugh or two at how far off base some of my guesses were...unless they turn out to be spot on...

I suppose that may be a decent reason not to tell Ham, but Elend is a different matter. Sure, besides perhaps setting his mind at ease, the information wouldn't be of much use to him, but the implications of keeping so much from him... If she can't trust him with even a bit of sensitive information, why are they even together in the first place? How can there really be a relationship with no trust?

Besides, as long as Elend doesn't know how exactly the metal is actually made, I see no harm in telling him.

Fascinating. I'll try to pay closer attention to the rubbings from here on out. You've managed to raise my expectations even higher. If I end up disappointed, I'll be sure to send my hate mail to you instead of Sanderson!

Ah, right. I can't believe I missed that.

Well, to be fair, Tindwyl didn't meet with Elend until after Vin left, so she must have been at least a bit wary. Plus, she did leave right after Vin showed up.

Also, I don't think Tyndwyl necessarily has any problems with Vin as a person. As a potential queen on the other hand...

Your explanation for Vin's attitude makes sense, I guess, but she must be able to see that Tindwyl's harsh training methods have been doing Elend heaps of good so far.

The very thought sends shivers down my spine.

I'd have to agree with there. Well, except for the self-reflection part. She seems to do quite a bit of that—at least at this point.

Thanks for doing is. I love reading your ideas about the characters as you read!

No problem. I love writing my ideas about the characters while I read, so I guess that means it's win-win!

I didn't know there was a WoT re-read on Tor. I'll have check that out some time.

Thanks for commenting, and I'm glad you're enjoying the blog so far.
