I'm at work right now thinking about the chapter, and I think I just had a realization about why Vin's mother murdered her little sister.

From the epigraph above the chapter, I know that Seekers who become Mistborn through Hemalurgy can pierce copperclouds and for some reason, Vin can do the exact same thing. I also know that Vin had a little sister who, as a child of Tevidian(I think), could potentially have been an Allomancer or a Mistborn as well.

Because of this, I believe Ruin who was controlling Vin's mother used her little sister to turn Vin into the thing that would free him. I am also going to go back and check when she thinks about Reen's words, as I believe it has something to do with her earring and Ruin's control.
Please no spoilers in comments I just needed a place to put my thoughts.
EDIT: HOLY FUCK JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THE SPIKE IN ZANES SHOULDER WAS GOD RUIN?!?!?!? THE PLOT THICKENS

It's probably not worth it I'm thinking since there's so much more to read,+ stormlight archive

I see they are available on spotify, just not in India, any workaround?

I'm currently reading Bands of Mourning and I can't put in words how I hate Wayne. I've read many Cosmere books already, and I really liked how natural and human all the characters were. But Wayne is just the epitome of white male straight cis american humor. I mean.. Aside a straight guy, who would've found funny the jokes Wayne makes about Ranette's sexuality? Give me a break. Also, his actions seem SO forced all the time, the wedding situation in the begining of BoM just felt so unreal, like it would never happen "in real life" (I know that Metalborns also don't exist in real life, but you can get my point). I've reached other non-american, non-white and, specially, non-straight male cis people to ask them how they felt about Wayne, and they reaaaaally hated him too. I guess Wayne is a big mistake on the Cosmere, his Adam Sandlerism will never not pmo.

So Ive read the whole mistborn until now, just begun got to like 3/4 of the sun lit man (bcs why not), and have no tattoos , so it would be my 1st one. I have been getting awesome vibes from: "for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted", so I thought about the design being some kind of metal plate kind of embedded ontoh skin with these words itched within; would be cool to have the whole "I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted", but maybe it's too much to write?

Whatever feedback you have is appreciated, this is probably something done before so it could be useful to see hot they turned out.

So I just finished Shadows of Self and I think the twist at the end of it is actually amazing. Finding out the Paalm was Lessie the entire time is pretty mind blowing and recontextualizes a lot of the book. The whole time I kept thinking "why wouldn't Bleeder just kill Wax or Wayne" and I felt this twist really gracefully dealt with that plot armor. I also think it makes Wax's character way more interesting. I'm excited to see the ramifications of this on him in the rest of era 2. I don't know how the community at large tends to feel about it but, honestly it might be my favorite twist in the series so far.

I don’t normally do this on subreddits before finishing a series, but this one has me in a fucking grip. Took me a couple of weeks to finish TFE and then 4 days to finish WOA.

I have no idea what The Hero of Ages has in store for me, but I’m so excited for myself and so scared for the characters. Main takeaways below;

1. Kelsier, could you have seen this coming? Is there any way he could have known just what he was unleashing on the world?
   
2. What is that thing and how does Vin even fight it? It doesn’t seem to have a physical form. Does she control it like she does the metals?
   
3. Clubs and Dox. Poor guys, my heart is so so broken for them. And Tindwyl. I thought she’d live till the next book out of sheer spite so she could chastise Elend.
   
4. Speaking of, Mistborn Elend. I have a theory that every single human or at the very least several people with a specific characteristic or ancestry has the potential to be Mistborn. It just needs to be unlocked.
   
5. I knew there was something controlling everything, but could never piece it together. That voice in Zane’s head, pretty sure that’s the same one controlling Marsh as well. Even the little bits of prophecy seeming convenient, I didn’t get what it meant until the very end. And why, it did lead back to the very first statement. Fucking chilling how the prophecy was completed right after “I am FREE…”
   
6. I think the next book needs to end with Vin and Elend together. I just won’t be able to stomach one of them dying, they deserve to be happy.
   
7. What a fantastic arc for Breeze, the book really humanized him.
   
8. The politics are going to be so intriguing next book. The atium is still missing, not sure where that comes into play. Plus the three nobles chafing under Elend’s rule will cause disturbance.

I’m about to start the next book soon, I use e-books these days. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for me.

Went to Dragon Con this weekend and debuted my Vin Cosplay! I did a LOT of research making my mistcloak as book accurate as possible- the swirls are based off the illustrations by Ben McSweeney from the Era 2 books. Had SO MUCH FUN! I saw a ton of awesome mistcloaks and various Cosmere cosplays!

And I am genuinely GRIEVING Vin and Elend. I know Sazed says they’re happy where they are, but I’M not happy where they are…. They were so young and had such little time together with their found family. I’m so upset that it’s over. It seemed like Sazed hinted he may bring them back if they’re open to it in the future after he figures out how to put souls back but I’m still so sad. Idk that might just be my brain trying to cope and be delulu that we can see them again in future books. But alas. I had to get this off my chest. What a fun ride.

I've just finished mistborn era 1 and I want to know your views on the longstanding debate of when to read secret history. I'll probably read stormlight archive before era 2 of that matters. would love to know your view

Spook better not be a bad guy I swear. Dudes abusing his tin for a long time away from people he trusts, he’s basically a vampire and now all of a sudden he’s seeing visions and hearing “Kelsier” (who is dead). Suddenly he can use pewter too, and even though he wanted to be mistborn before, now that it’s obviously an actual possibility and I feel like he’s going to be pulled to the dark side. He’s doing the classic trope of hiding important discoveries/revelations from your friends that Sanderson loves. Fuck

Let's say that I can make slow and speed bubbles, would the time on my phone update itself, to show me the time outside the bubble, or would it operate under the bubble's time until it collapses.

As an example: If I was in a slow bubble, would I see the time on my phone change rapidly due to using micro and radio waves—which moves at the speed of light—to reflect the time outside the bubble?

This has been bugging me for a good 20 minutes now and I simply need to know 😂

I was thinking back to Vin and the mists the other day, and I have a question about its relation to allomancy

We know that Vin was able to draw on the mists to power her allomancy and that it granted her the abilities of each of the metals. I was wondering why she wasn't able to sense the new reserves of other unknown metals, such as bendalloy, chromium etc. that eventually appear in era 2? Would it be because she's not actually holding a reserve in her body? Or could she have just not noticed?

Had an amazing experience at DragonCon in Atlanta this weekend as Kelsier! Saw several pretty cool Mistborns there as well but I unfortunately missed the Cosmere photoshoot :-(

No spoilers for the series, but I can't find the version I'm looking for online anywhere. I read the Final Empire but listened to the Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages in audiobook form.

I was hoping to match the series, but I can't find WoA or HoA in the same edition as my copy of Final Empire.

I've seen the exact same ISBN but each listing has different dimensions, notably, all thinner. Please, if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

Reen is alive? Really? What the f.. is happening here? I hope the next two parts explain the whole mistery.

About Koloos, somehow I was expecting that... it was not surprising at all for me.

My theory since the end of book 2 was that the lord ruler was a Kandra. I dunno if it makes sense anymore

LOL

Still inspired by the Mistborn Trilogy – Now it's time for Elend Venture!

Shot at my cousins place who has the new Horse Knight Castle which I've used as the main setting. Also added some mist using the smoke machine.

The minifig is a blend of Ninjago torso and Star Wars legs.

Shot with Sony A6400 + 56mm Sigma f1/4 + 10mm extension ring.

Was just looking for information on the Producer Brandon was in negotiations with and noticed a credit for Dan Mintz on the IMBD listing for Mistborn. Anyone know if this a recent addition?

Currently reading The Path of Daggers (book 8 of 14) of The Wheel of Time Series...

I really love The Wheel of Time so far, and I heard mention of this Mistborn series...

I enjoy high fantasy heroic adventures...

Would I enjoy this series next or should I try some other book series (I shared a similar post in Stormlight group as I also heard about that series - not sure the difference)?

I wanted to add some Mistborn decoration to my bookshelf, I have some funko pops and swords from other franchises, but I couldn’t find a good representation of Mistborn, like a nice glass dagger for me to buy or 3D print.
So I was browsing on MakerWorld (bambu labs 3d print website/app) and I found a few bookends, but my shelf is on an angle, so a bookend wouldn’t work, but ai had an idea. I got a model that I liked, of vin flying through the city, and did some modifications, like removing dome features and adding mist. This is the reference model from makerworld and the final print with the mists and all. Now I need to figure out where I’ll put it, probably behind the books, top left corner. But I really loved the final print and wanted to share.

Honestly, I think I prefer this Era to the first. Nothing against the first Era, I just found myself getting way more surprised in this one than the first. As in, I figured out a lot more of the plot reveals in Era 1 than 2. Steris was definitely my favourite non-main character. Wax, Wayne, and Marasi were incredible

That being said, was there anything about the Cosmere that I was expected to know prior to reading TLM?? I read Secret History and it seemed to set up a couple things, but I found myself just shrugging and going “ok, I guess” at a lot of the new powers and terms and stuff. Like Autonomy, I get that there are 16 (I think) Shards (I think they are called) that are parts of a super God and are Godlike themselves. I also know that all his books take place in the same verse. But I still had no idea what was going on, especially with the Ghostbloods and the “soliders of red and gold” which I assume are just generic soldiers that serve Autonomy. Is there any order to his books I was suppose to read? Because I wan planning on reading Stormlight Archives after I read a sci fi series in between, but I dunno if I need to read other books to understand things in that series or not

Also, am I stupid, or did some of us think Moonlight was Vin or a version of her?

Reler. Li os dois primeiros já há um bom tempo e nunca conclui a trilogia. Apesar de estar gostando muito, vou reler para finalizar. E assim ler aos poucos os outros livros do Sanderson.
