Mistborn Era 1 Reread
MAJOR HOA SPOILERS
Just finished my first reread of era 1 and mistakenly thought that I might not cry since I knew what was coming. How wrong I was. I sobbed. Again.
I did a tandem reread of Secret History as well. Went back and forth every handful of chapters so I was reading a certain someone’s POV as events unfolded for Vin and Co.
Things that made me cry:
- Elend falling to his knees and almost giving up in the ash. Then choosing hope.
- Sazed reflecting on Spook’s words and CHOOSING faith after feeling betrayed by his life’s work for so long
- Sazed working through the Terris prophecy with the kandra, not realizing what it means in full
- Marsh using whatever ounce of Self and good will he has left to use Spook’s steel-inscribed message to rip out Vin’s earring
- Elend dying
- Vin watching Elend die, but feeling at peace
- Vin fading away after throwing all her godly might at Ruin
- Sazed picking up the power and then realizing he’s not meant to use it and release it, but to be the Hero for all Ages
- Ham reuniting with his family
- FLOWERS. GRASS. VIN AND ELEND AMONG THE FLOWERS AND GRASS
My heart. These characters. I’ve never done a series reread before and am surprised how much it hurts all over again.
Rereading this series was so fun. I picked up on so many Easter eggs and clues about Ruin, the LR, Scadrial.
