▲ 28 r/Mistborn
Just started reading Hero of Ages...
...and am I the only one who doesn't like Elend turning into a Mistborn? Especially his allomancy being "stronger than it should be" according to Vin? I just feel like it's lame. Elend and Vin were a subversion of power dynamics, with Vin being the strong one, and Elend the strategic one. They both had their insecurities, but now that Elend is technically a more powerful Mistborn than Vin I feel like that dynamic doesn't really work anymore. Vin can't even be "his blade" anymore, now she's just his "second blade" I guess. Idk, it just feels like shounen power creep. Vin was already strong enough by the end of WoA, I don't feel like a second Mistborn was necessary.
