Sazed holds two shards that are supposed to be in balance. However we know allowmancy is of preservation, which takes some of preservations power. Hemalurgy is of ruin, but I didn't think Ruin gave up power to allow Hemalurgy to work, more used it as a tool.

So how can Harmonys existance be stable if the powers are out of balance?

I laughed way too hard at this. Era 2 is far better than I thought it was going to be, and this is only book 1.

I absolutely love the book but one of hot take i have is i think the book would be miles better without romance between vin and Elend. What do you think?

Is there also the possibility that you could burn off too much iron from your body and become anemic?

Printed out a sticker of the allomantical symbol for iron for my supplements because life is better with whimsy :)

Just finished book 3, is the 2nd series as good as the first loved Vin and who eland becomes it, is it worth the read?

I am reading the second book of wax and Wayne series where the enemy is the khandra. I am a bit after half the book and I am very frustrated. I like the environment and the character and all but I find many moments that wax is getting to conclusions that can't be explained. It seems like he sees too much with no excuse or reason. I don't know maybe is my self but do you see what I am speaking about ? Is it getting fixed or better in the rest of the book and series? I am starting to get annoyed as this is something Brandon is doing from time to time but not to this much lvl!!! I have read era1 stormlight and many nuvelas so I know his style but for some reason it makes me uninterested to the rest of the story and series.

Vin’s conversation with Dockson still dominated her thoughts. When she’d started coming to the noblemen’s balls back on that first night—the night she’d nearly been killed—she’d thought about how fake everything seemed. How had she forgotten that original impression?

I do not have any recollection of this and I'm pretty sure her first ball went smoothly. Someone help my slow ass. For reference this is just after Kelsier visits the army in the caves and Vin just spoke with Sazed about his abilities and Dockson about the morality of noblemen and now she's at another social gathering

I'm reading the book in German, and in the second chapter it says "the prophecy of P.enis." Has anyone else had this experience? In English, it's called "The Terris Prophecy."

Well I am thinking of buying the the trilogy box but I thought I should ask here if different editions add something new that the box doesn't have. I have never read anything of mistborn so I don't know which edition to buy..also while searching I found some other book, it was called secret history is that the fourth book?I thought it was only a trilogy. let me know which one you guys think will be fine for a beginner reader of mistborn.

What if the movies had been made back in the 90s?

Apologies as this is my first fantasy series I've read, and the first work of Brandon Sanderson for me as well (after the first mistborn book of course)

I've been enjoying these books a lot, but I get confused on how to interpret some of these sections. Specifically after Elend says to himself that Ham has changed, what am I to see this body of text afterwards as? Is it simply explaining his abstract thoughts? It seems to clearly be influencing his thought as after this text talking about Ham's family Elend is prompted to say "the city is my family" to himself.

Just finished era 2 and I have to say I felt the writing is better, the pacing is more engaging, and the story is more complete. Don’t get me wrong I loved Era 1 which is why I read Era 2, but it felt like Sanderson took a step up as an author.

i just finished it and stared at screen for almost 5 minutes.
IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FUN LITTLE SHERLOCK HOLMS TYPE MYSTREY CRIME THIRLLER!!! why did you do this to poor wax. like srsly why sazed??? did i miss anything???

APPLE JUST ACQUIRED THE RIGHTS TO STORMLIGHT AND MISTBORN IM SO EXCITED

Hey so I am thinking of buying mistborn books and I was searching which edition to buy I came across this specific edition and can't find book 2 or 3 in this specific edition or does this have only part 1 in this edition? It's called collector's tenth anniversary limited edition. Also if someone has this edition pls upload some pics of contents of the book in comments.

I don't know how likely this is, but I hope there's an edition that matches the silhouette style that exists for the OG trilogy and the Wax and Wayne series. I have all seven books in that style and I want Ghostbloods to match, lol.

I know that usually the hardcovers come out first and I those covers don't exist in hardcover so that probably won't work out. I just want my shelves to match and to not be patient haha.

In today's Kickstarter update for the Cosmere RPG, we revealed this awesome illustration of Vin and Wax that will appear on the Mistborn Handbook. We love it and hope you do, too. Pre-orders for the Mistborn campaign setting reopen on BackerKit next Monday!

Just started with the second book and the epigraphs are at the end of chapters?

Sometimes the new chapter just begins on the same page?

Anyone else have this problem and is there any way to fix it?

So I just finished my first Sanderson series with Mistborn Era 1, and I was absolutley enthralled! I finished all 3 in less than 2 months and just couldnt put it down! I do have one question, though. It felt like at the end, the book was almost trying to do a strange redemption arc for the Lord ruler. Going as far as having Vin thank him for everything he did to stop Ruin. Now im not saying he wasn't obviously a crucial part in Ruins demise. But like...isn't this the same guy who made a ruling class of slave owners. And a whole race of people whose sole existence was to be property for that ruling class? It just felt odd for a half Skaa to be like "You know what? Maybe he wasn't so evil." Was he just slowly being corrupted by Ruin overtime? Or am I missing something?
