No Spoilers My fancast as someone on ch 17 book 1
Hey all, I thought it would be funny to share the graphic I just made to show my boyfriend exactly how I’m envisioning the characters in my head. It’s my first read through of mistborn ever and I’m loving it. Or- listen through? I’m doing it through audible mostly as I don’t have a lot of time to sit down with the book. Enjoy!
Kelsier is from divergent Vin is the last of us Reen that fuck ass kid from Toy Story Sazed is for some reason Morpheus Everyone else so far I see as the hobbit / lotr characters

Well of Ascension Elend’s outfit as generated by ChatGPT Spoiler
Warning: This might contain some (minor) spoilers for the book two of Mistborn : The Well of Ascension (Page 141)
So I was reading the part where Elend’s trying on his uniform provided by Tindwyl and I thought I would be cool to see the uniform out of an imagination, so I took some pictures of the page and asked ChatGPT to generate the image of the outfit, here are some results…

Shadows of Self If Sanderson forces another huge age gap couple on me I am sending him a proper british email Spoiler
Just in the first chapter and I adore Steris so much and I absolutely love her and Wax and the fact it’s a business relationship it’s just glorious and funny. If he ends up with Marasi because “she’s more his style” even though she’s even younger… I am so done! The only way I will except Wax and Marasi is if it was a poly relationship, and even then the age gap really bothers me. Like… she’s HALF his age! I could forgive Breeze and Allrianne because it was the end of the world… and Allrianne was definitely in control of that relationship. But usually the problem with big age gaps is that there is a huge power imbalance which can be really unhealthy in a relationship… and that is definitely true for Wax and Marasi…

Late- Mistborn: Final Empire Does this series pick up as it goes? Spoiler
I am about 75% of the way through Final Empire and feel….disappointed.
I was so excited to start the series after everything I’ve heard about it but I feel like it’s been dragging on and not all that exciting.
I am wondering if this is sort of just laying the groundwork for the rest of the series and that it will pick up and get better and better as I go

Well of Ascension spoilers Vin and the dog Spoiler
I read the first book of the series and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to Well of Ascension, But within the first few pages, Vin punches a dog in the face, carries his unconscious body back to her Kandra for death. I thought she seemed very hard and unfeeling. It changed my perception of Vin and I’m not sure if I want to continue reading. Is this a theme that will continue throughout the series?

Cosmere + Wind and Truth Steris and Renarin Spoiler
I just finished Era 2 and truly enjoyed it. The only issue I have with it is one I have with TWOK. As a father of an autistic daughter, it feels like Sanderson tries too hard to write an autistic character. They become almost caricatures. Where so many of his characters are so well rounded, these feel two dimensional. I like Steris and Renarin, but their characters become distracting to the point of drawing me out of the story when he focuses on their autism. By contrast, I recall reading Madness in Solidar and Treachey’s Tools by Modesitt. They have a secondary character named Taurek who is autistic. I remember reading the story and fully understanding his struggle. I asked on a forum that Modesitt answers and he responded saying he wrote the character based on one of his kids. I think that’s the key. It feels like Sanderson just looks at a list of symptoms to build those two characters contrasted with Modesitt who has intimately been involved in the life of one.’

Hero of Ages spoilers Hate spoilers in Title Spoiler
I recently started with Mistborn Era 1. I completed both FE and WoA and in the middle of HoA.
I lost most of my motivation somewhere in between as nothing much was happening and still waiting for all the reveals. For motivation, I slided into this reddit and saw some people posting in the title about ''Vin's earring''.
Now, knowing about hemalurgy. I figured out what had happened, and it has spoiled all the surprise.
Please, people, be careful or what you post even in title.
Now, I feel like I can not enjoy the rest of the book.
Edit: It looks like everyone is kind of hating the post.
I will still read and complete the book and even the next in the series. I was just mentioning that the post kind of spoiled the thrill i would have gotten from the book itself.
About checking reddit: I was in reddit as I wanted to see what others who read series thought about it. None of my friends read the book, and I wanted to talk about it with people who can relate.
Even if the entire book is spoiled, I would read the series. It is just that I wanted people to be a little careful on things they post, even in title.

No Spoilers im sad that sazed is bald


I'm reading the second book now, and I wanted to look up some official art of the characters. I don't know why, but I imagined Sazed looking completely different, and I was shocked when I discovered he was bald. I think I read that somewhere and just completely ignored it
I used to imagine him looking like Ares from Hades.

Bands of Mourning Kind of silly, but I just realized that a Lurcher, Coinshot, or Mistborn would be unable to use their powers to move a lot of the FNAF animatronics, since their metal is heavily Invested with the Anguish of Willie's victims. Spoiler
Not to say they couldn't still easily beat them using their powers in other ways, especially a Mistborn, but it's funny to imagine the "Oh shit" of trying to stop Foxy from barreling towards them or Springtrap slowly janking his way over and realizing there's no line connecting them to the animatronics endoskeleton.

Alloy of Law Anyone else feel like all the named locations are a bit forced in Era 2? Spoiler
I just seems like every other location in Era 2 is named after someone from Era 1. It's so jarring how many there are. Especially jarring when studying the map. Just a small gripe, I love everything else about Era 2.

Cosmere spoilers (no Emberdark) Can someone spoil me please ? Spoiler
‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️⚠️ SPOILER OF MISTBORN AND POSSIBLY STORMLIGHT !!!
Hello, I just finished the first book and let me tell you I did NOT take it well (the death of you know who.)
I’m done with my favourite characters always dying so I made it clear in my head : I won’t continue (or at least for a long time) if Kelsier is really gone.
Now you may ask : well he’s dead so why are you writing in this Reddit.
Well I saw a comment under a tik tok mentioning how his personality was in « Mistborn »… AND « Stormlight ». So my question is : does he comes back in the future ? And when I say comes back, I mean : not in flashbacks, or mentions of him in the past. I mean really comes back. I tried to look out for this answer on internet but it’s so confusing that I didn’t get it. It tells me he does come back in a way but not like I want or something. And I’m so scared of getting spoiled how and when that I don’t dare searching more.
So please… PLEASE I’m asking you to spoil me that. Not when or how but just tell me if he’s back. Because if he’s not, I’ll stop Mistborn for a long time.
Thanks in advance.

Cosmere (no SP3) I Really Do Not Like Era 2 Spoiler
I devoured first era of mistborn after stormlight. It was marvelous. I probably finished the trilogy in 3 weeks if not a month. Which is pretty fast for my reading pace.
However, western doesn't cut it for me. I got AoL last year and only managed to read like %60 of it. I find myself not caring about plot or the characters.
I know there are important cosmere events coming, but I can not gather enough strength to read.
I am thinking maybe I should just skip reading and watch a summary video of it, so I'll learn what is going with this Trell everyone talks about, and maybe learn what Kelsier is doing and planning about Roshar.
But that is so unlike me. Is not liking AoW a common thing? Does the plot feel boring to most of readers? If so I'll push myself to read. But otherwise, I do not like industrial theme in fantasy so I do not want to read it. I'll spend my time reading Secret Projects.

Mistborn: Final Empire spoilers Why not use bronze or copper swords? Spoiler
So, I understand that iron and steel were avoided due to being affected by pulling and pushing, but weapons could be made of other metals as well. On Earth, bronze was a very popular weapon of choice up until the bronze age collapse and people had no choice but to use the uglier metal iron. Was the fear being detected, or was there another reason I cannot remember?

Cosmere spoilers Unpopular Opinion about TLR Spoiler
Ok so i think TLR and all Fullborns arent as powerful or as strong as everyone believes them to be. Why? For two primary factors.
The number of metalmimds they can have on or in their body is limited. On top of this the size and thus the storage capacity of their metalminds are limited.
While they can compound their abilities for more power this literally destroys their metalminds to do so meaning they can and will run out. Especially if they increase how much they tap from the metal.
Fullborns have the potential to be the strongest but realistically they aren't. They have upper limits to their powers and can't infinitely amass power. Imagine needing to carry 16 different metal implants inside your body. If your arm gets blown off or cut off you lose those metal minds, you can't have all of them attached to your ribcage/torso and even if you did they'd be too small to realistically last long enough or store enough attributes.
They are powerful dont get me wrong, but they are not as godlike as everyone says. Even with Steel Compounder Speed they have to tap or burn other metals just to survive those insane speeds and you get a few good bursts of speed before you use up all you got.
I'm probably gonna be held at gunpoint for this opinion but I'm tired of pretending I'm wrong! /j
Also as a final note, The Lord Ruler knew about all 16 metals but did not have access to all of them. Meaning in a normal fight, not using hypotheticals or what ifs, he doesn't get like 4-5 of the stronger metals. That's his fault for screwing over technological progress.
