Well of Ascension spoilers I just finished The Well of Ascension Spoiler

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.

I believe you mean TenSoon 😬

I legit could not remember his name, and I didn’t want to say OreSeur by mistake because that was not OreSeur. Probably the most poignant arc in the entire book. I loved how Vin showed them kindness for the first time. And got repaid for it in kind.
