Richard, when you asked if it breaks the rules of the magic system that Vin can pierce a copper cloud: there is an explanation later in the trilogy.

(No spoilers) My favorite character ever that sanderson created is Vin, the way her struggles somewhat complement the world building(specifically the mist) was fantastic and hit way too close to home for me, everytime when Vin's feeling down, she always relies to the mist, she finds comfort to the mist and the way I vividly remember how the mist, swirling, surrounding around Vin-----was the most cozy feeling I ever had reading, it was like wrapped around a fantastical, supernatural blanket or something, plus I was also reading it at night with my blanket so it was the ideal reading experience. Most of my favorite moments actually was just Vin roaming around the city covered with mist at night doing misty things and the occasional Vin chilling at the roof. P.S: I love my blanket, I don't know how I could continue to live the world without it. Edit: also I'm looking forward to the name of the winds review lol, it seems it might really be interesting, I love it when people reread books just to ascertain their hate dominance. I actually have not read it but will still watch.
@SupaawesomeificationАй бұрын
I almost explained why vin can pierce copper clouds before I realized that it’s not explained in the first book lol but I will say it’s absolutely NOT breaking the rule. As you said, there’s another layer to how it works. It’s definitely not “oh if I just squint harder” and it’s actually not… quite… a bloodline thing. You’ll see. It makes perfect sense.

It was also more consistently "fun" while still telling serious stories. All four books provided a phenomenal time while reading them. The amount of memorable moments are high and the action is so cool with the addition of firearms alongside Allomancy and Feruchemy. Oh AND the larger Cosmere implications and development are so cool.

I think when you have a hard rule in your magic system it's totally fine to break that rule if there is a legitimate reason to-do so in order to drive the story. It also sets up later reveals later on. And you absolutely don't need to explain why the rule is able to be broken as long as you're consistent on how it's done.

Again he is a fantastic character but kinda a garbage person who really thinks the ends justify the means. What’s really fun is reading era two with the ghostbloods having not read stormlight yet!

Fantastic episode! Really enjoyed it. My only complaint is the slight Elend slender. He's fantastic ~ I've read Mistborn years ago, maybe I should re-read again them as well.. And! I'm excited for Name of the Wind. I HATED that book and to hear that someone else also didn't is very fun for me 😂 Goodluck in Dragonsteel!

not sure if the change was intentional or acknowledged somewhere, but i do appreciate the subtle change to the 5 star scale system. For whatever reason it feels less arbitrary/more concrete! :)

We announced the change back in episode #126 if you’re curious into how we rate and why we changed to the 5 star scale!

Can we talk about how this book is called The Final Empire not Mistborn? It’s the Mistborn trilogy and gets referred to as Mistborn but it does have its own title! And sorry Richard but Austin was pronouncing feruchemy correctly. I love this trilogy and did a re-read of it earlier this year for an online book club. Vin is my favourite character but Sazed’s character has such an impact going forward. Enjoy the next book! ❤

Very curious to see how you guys feel about the next two books in the series because WOA is my favorite just narrowly beating Final Empire for me but I see where a lot of people have it as their lowest of the Mistborn books. Also though I like HOA some aspects of the story fell flat to me so very curious to see your thoughts! Keep up the great work!

Thanks a bunch - we will be reviewing the rest so Im curious to see what the rest has in store

I treat all three Mistborn books as one giant book like Way of Kings or Oathbringer so Final Empire feels very much like a part one before an interlude.

Pretty sure the copper "plot hole" you discuss gets explained in book 3. It has to do with that secret third magic system that empowers spiked people.

I can never decide if I prefer Mistborn era 1 or Stormlight, it normally depends on what I'm reading at the time. I prefer Alchemy as a magic system over Stormlight's magic because it is so clearly defined by the rules of each metal. How's that, Ben?

As soon as Richard mentioned Marsh has his favorite I knew spoilers were coming out but damn... that was a lot of time of spoilers lol

As someone who's read stormlight already, can someone explain how Allomancy/feruchemy connects to the ROW epilogue? I didn't pick up on what Richard was talking about.
@2ToRambleКүн бұрын
I could be wrong the more obvious connection is with the warbreaker magic system, but I was drawn to hoids coin and thought there was a connection to feruchemy
