@robardin also thanks for replying. This community is amazing. I guess having really good books as its foundation explains a lot. I have to agree with you. Making the reader simpathise with The Lord Ruler was just great! I guessed that Spook would be the new Leader of the new world but didn't think he would be the only Mistborn. Haha, well untill he has kids and beats them. I trust, I am just going to reread the Stormlight archive for the new release in November.

Spook was one of my favourite characters with Tensoon. I think he had enough time. He was in Urteau the whole book. He was sent to spy while Elend was collecting caches. Skoop has a weakness of wanting to be useful to the team. He didn't feel like he belonged because he was tagged along with Clubs. With Clubs death weighing on Spook because Spook feels guilty for leaving the city. So, Spook pushed him self to feel useful, flaring his tin. He also changed as a person, no longer just observing but plotting to brew a rebellion, like Kelsier. Skoop changed from felling useless to being useful to the team. So useful that he took lead from Saze and Breeze. Most importantly he sent the letter explaining that metal in the body is big no no. Which saved the world. So Elend, haha. He was fun to follow but didn't change much except being a good "King" which is just the end of his arch. He got Mistborn powers so he wouldn't be borning. It's not impressive to fight with your people only once you got your powers. Like I said, would have been way cooler for him to earn is powers by staying in the city. Any way, I think Elend character development this book was more the Lord Rulers character development. I say this because Elend questions his actions. He think he becoming more like the Lord Ruler, but really all this tells is how much the Lord Ruler was like Elend. But, man that atium battle was epic as f**k. Elend is a bad chull! Thanks for responding and what not, really enjoyed just talking about this book, will stick around and help grow this community.

@Toaster Retribution and @robardin I just finished HoA. Well, um ... I am lost for words. At the moment my argument feels so small after that ending. I think I'll need a day or two to digest the ending, but I thought I would give my fresh opinion of the ending, and WOW that was an ending. So, Toast was one of the characters the Lord Ruler? Um, still speechless. Saze the man! So beautiful to tie the whole story together with the religions sazed shared with his friends to help build the new world. Just Beautiful. Yeah, such a beautiful ending! Brought tears.

@Toaster Retribution, [HoA spoiler] oh man, I hope one of the character arcs is Spook. Just read the part where he got his pewter power. Spook is so sweet, rooting for that guy. Haha, got to get back and continue reading.

Thanks for your opinion. @Yata Maybe Brandon's writing was ment to have the reader feel frustrated when the city is falling and vin and Elend are far away. I think I'll reread the end of book again knowing know what happens. Yeah, like I said I don't think my version is perfect, anyway thanks for replying and discussing this with me. Just wanted Elend to do more.

I agree that Elend made the right choice to leave with vin. I just think if the story was changed around a bit it would feel more epic. My version draft: Sazed leaves to Terris to deliver his book. Tyndwl stays to look after Elend. Vin is drawn to Kredik Shaw, but does not know why. The koloss attack. Tyndwl dies saving Elend (I really liked tyndwl and her death was brushed a side). Elend is badly injured, and is bleeding out. The people saw Elend fight for them with out Mistborn powers and respect him even more. Vin doing her Mistborn fighting. She is told Elend is in danger. Sazed bumps into the group of Terris people and starts to make connections that Vin must not go to the Well and release the power. He makes his way back to warn her. Vin is desperate to get to Elend, there are Koloss in her way to get to Elend. She does her soothing on them. Tide starts to shift. The venture army moves in. With a change of heart Cret attacks venture after his daughter talks to him and he remembers Vin not killing him and his son. Sazed is almost back and has his fight with Marsh. Sazed is to slow to warn Vin. Vin is now with Elend and he is dying. Vin is desperate to save him and makes a connection that the well is in Luthadel. She carries his near death body to Kredik Shaw. She finds the well, Elend in a lost effort to save the world, tells Vin he trusts her. She released the power, she is crying over Elend body. The Ghost appears hints to Vin how to save Elend. Elend is now a mistborn. Hammond is out side waiting, Vin gives Ham Elend. Ham brings news or Cret. Vin flies to the battle field and kills Straf. Continue from the book. I am not saying that this version is the best. I am also not saying that the cannon was awful. I just feel like Elend's character would have grown more if he stayed in Luthadel, instead of wondering around in the mist. The books have been amazing! I am so drawn to all the characters and want the best for them. Brandon is a superb writer and his world building and character designs are amazing. This is also the only negative thing I have about the ending.

Thanks, I have read the first two books of the stormlight archive, so I'll be reading oathbringer when that is released. Otherwise I don't know which other books of his I should read after that. I think way of Kings is my favourite, because it was my first book I read. @btcannon and @Nathrangking, I just started it. Already hooked after that first koloss battle.

Thanks, I am most definitely going to continue reading. Looking forward to it. Brandon does so well with world building!

My love for the Mistborn series is growing. I just finished the second book in the trilogy, The Well of Ascension. Elend started to become one of my favourite characters. His character arc started really strong. With his trainer Tindwyl, we could see his transformation. He was becoming a good king, but to test his character he was stripped of his title, yet he maintained his "king" like attitude. Thus Elend is more than just a title of a king. Now, this is when I started to get a bit up set. I feel like Elend's character arc was robbed from him. He left his people. He could have stayed and fought with his people and show them that he will do what ever he can to save them. But, no, he is sleeping in a tent and watching mist It was frustrating, Elend being out the city and just wondering around added nothing to his character. How epic would it have been if he fought the Koloss army. He had his character already set up to take them on. I am taking about Elend's fight with Koloss when visiting Jastes. Obviously he is no match for an army but that doesn't matter, he is meant to get hurt so Vin can make the decision to save him or the world. He would be Emperor Elend, a mistborn who stood with his people and fought. But no, he is just Emperor Elend, a mistnorn who left his people. I knew he would get his allomancy powers, it was always hinted that he would, but I don't think be deserves them, like Kelsier. Any thoughts or am I missing something? I highly could be, I was just so disappointed and frustrated well reading those last couple of chapters.

I have read the first two books of the Storm Light Archives and also the first two books of the mistborn series. Saying hi before I start a discussion about the second book of the mistborn trilogy.
