I‘m getting a bit anxious about how this is going to end. So far I‘m here for it. And just let me say, poor Marsh.
#CosmereBuddyRead

Leniverse Ooh, intrigued! I haven't even bought the book yet 😬 I'll go all in on the weekend and be catched up by next Tuesday. They read pretty fast when you get down to it, these books! 7d
JacqMac @Leniverse They do read fast. I have a hard time stopping myself. lol 7d

Meshell1313 Ok so the journal before each chapter is Vin‘s now? And they FINALLY explain the ash!!!! Moving planets??!! That‘s a lot of power! This book is going to the best one I think! 6d
JacqMac @Meshell1313 So much power. I was surprised and yet I was kind of expecting it to be a natural, but supernatural thing. 6d
Meshell1313 @JacqMac yes! I think I was still convinced it was nuclear war. The question I have now is about Vin- they keep thinking she can fix it. Will she move the planet again? 5d
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I have the same question. I can‘t see how he‘s going to fix this lol 4d
rabbitprincess I think the most memorable parts for me in this part have been the TenSoon chapters because we get to see kandra in their element. Not sure if TenSoon would feel better or worse about giving away the secret of his people if he knew that that info was inscribed on a metal plate in one of the Lord Ruler‘s supply caches 😅 3d
JacqMac @rabbitprincess I‘m enjoying the TenSoon parts, too. I really want things to go his way. 2d

Cass and I are having a crazy busy day today. He‘s so relaxed I‘m a bit worried he‘s going to fall off the couch. #CosmereBuddyRead

Here is the reading schedule for Book 3. I combined part 3 and 4 to make them about the same length as the other parts. I don‘t think it will be a problem, but as always let me know.

That was not where I saw this going. But wow, it was good. I have to give Sanderson some credit for his fight scenes. Usually they aren‘t my favorite part of a story, but he does them so well. And saying that, what do you all think about Marsh? Where did that come from? I can‘t wait to start the next one. I‘ll post dates in a bit.

rabbitprincess Vin is so badass and I love her! Controlling the koloss and casually slicing and dicing her scuzzy FIL. Good riddance to bad rubbish 😤 I am also glad I finished this book at home because I was literally sobbing at the well of ascension 😭 2w
JacqMac @rabbitprincess So badass!! I was really worried when we got to the well. I devoured that part. I‘m not sure how I feel about having another Mistborn. But yes, I‘m so happy about how it ended for that nasty FIL. 2w

Meshell1313 I do love that I always surprised!! So now that thing from the well is out? Crazy. And yes what is going on with Marsh- it‘s like he‘s possessed or something? I hope in book 3 we finally get some real answers instead of just more questions! 2w
Meshell1313 Thanks for hosting such a fun buddy read- can‘t wait for the next! 2w
Leniverse Finally caught up! My guess is that Marsh and the other Inquisitors are controlled by the same voice that told Zane to kill everyone but Vin. Zane only had one spike, so he wasn't completely under the Voice's control. Further guessing that the voice is the thing from the well. @Meshell1313 1w
Leniverse I'm a bit frustrated with the rookie horror movie mistake of just knocking Marsh out instead of finishing him off. It would have taken two seconds pull his kill switch. 1w
JacqMac @Leniverse yes. The voice. And I might have yelled double tap! when he didn‘t finish off Marsh. But I think there‘s more to come. (edited) 1w
Meshell1313 @Leniverse oooh yes! That totally makes sense! 1w

Happy Tuesday! Today was busy, so I‘m a little late. All I have to say is, he did it again! I thought I knew where it was going. But I wasn‘t expecting that. I can‘t wait to finish this one. Don‘t forget we are doing both parts this week. I don‘t think anyone will have a problem. It‘s so hard to put down now.
#CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Yesss! Ok what the heck is up with the thing on Zane‘s back? A face??? And I‘m also wondering if Sazed did the right thing sending them away? 3w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I‘m wondering if Zane has an inquisitor‘s spike in there. I don‘t know, but it‘s the first thing that came to mind. I‘m about to dive back in because I need to know who lives and who dies. 3w

Andrew65 Thanks, my reservation form the library was delayed - why don‘t people return books on time! So will be racing to catch up for the end of the book. 3w
JacqMac @Andrew65 Waiting for library books always makes me a little crazy. lol I hope you catch up. It gets hard to put down again around the middle, so that might help. 3w
Andrew65 @JacqMac This will be much of my weekend. 3w
rabbitprincess I haven‘t commented yet because I had to check the Coppermind wiki to make sure my notes are from the right part 😂 This was an intense one! 3w
rabbitprincess Re Zane, I am so over men who think it‘s women‘s responsibility to save them from themselves. I consider that possible love triangle (Vin, Elend, Zane) satisfactorily resolved ? had to refrain from shouting “yesss!!!” out loud in public! (edited) 3w
JacqMac @rabbitprincess yes! Hopefully, that‘s an end to that nonsense. lol 3w
Meshell1313 @rabbitprincess couldn‘t agree more! 3w
Meshell1313 @JacqMac ooh interesting theory!!!! 3w
Leniverse I've only just finished this part. I became so frustrated with how so much drama could have been avoided if people just talked to each other instead of making assumptions, and how easy Vin was to manipulate. I just had to put the book away for a while. 2w
Leniverse Vin came one short step away from going full Anakin. When Elend found her in the cubby hole and told her he was sure she'd had a good reason, I had painful flashbacks to Anakin telling Amadala about how he massacred a whole village. It was too uncomfortable to read on. But now that I have, I'm very relieved at how this part ended 😅 2w

#Cosmerebuddyread Wow. Sanderson has done it again- just when I think I know where the story is heading, he does something completely unexpected that I never see coming. That ending made me immediately go and purchase the next book. Can‘t wait for our group‘s next few discussions but I couldn‘t help but finish early! Thank goodness for our buddy read so I am not alone with this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

JacqMac I am trying really hard to go slowly. But I want to finish it so badly. He surprised me again. lol 4w
DogMomIrene I put this one down so I could read a few other books, kind of a catch up. But I‘m diving back into this one tonight. I‘m so freaking excited! 4w

I once again rocketed ahead of the buddy read for this because I could not stop reading! This was a bit longer than the first book, Mistborn, so it was a bit more of an effort in places, but WOW am I really loving this world.

Happy Tuesday! I can‘t wait to move on to the next part, because I really have no idea where this story is heading now. And I have some concerns.
#CosmereBuddyRead

Meshell1313 Yes ok soo we at least know who the journal belongs to but we still don‘t know who the imposter is? And do we talk about Vin and Zane? Ugh. 4w
JacqMac @Meshell1313 Vin and Zane are one of my concerns. lol 4w

rabbitprincess I had a feeling that Elend would not be re-voted king but was not sure of who would replace him. So hurray for being ahead of a cliffhanger for once, sort of 😆 4w
Leniverse @Meshell1313 I tried to keep track of who has been eliminated in the hunt for the imposter, and I wonder who I have forgotten. Or if it's going to be some nameless servant nobody ever notices. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4w
JacqMac @Leniverse it‘s starting to look like it‘s someone insignificant. I‘m not sure if that disappoints me or not. 4w
Leniverse Yeah, I'll be happy not to lose any more major characters, but at the same time it seems anticlimactic if it's someone we've not even met. And I don't trust Sanderson not to sucker punch us 😒 4w

repost for @JacqMac:

Happy Tuesday! Now I can read the next part. lol Just when I think he can‘t surprise me, he surprises me. I can‘t wait to hear what you all think about the reveal of the Watcher. I think I like where it‘s going.

Leniverse These cliffhangers are killing me! 😅 1mo

Leniverse I quite enjoyed learning more about how the Keepers use their powers. Especially how charging a metal mind doesn't have to be a hardship, it can be useful like making your body lighter for climbing or dulling your sense of smell when something reeks. 1mo
Meshell1313 Ok so now that we know who the watcher is- can Zane be persuaded to join their cause??? 1mo
Meshell1313 @Leniverse I know! A coup!!!! Amazing! What will our heroes do now???? 1mo
Meshell1313 @JacqMac I agree with you about Sanderson- I often feel like I am being lulled into a false sense of security but then he‘ll do something to shock me! 1mo
Leniverse @Meshell1313 Regarding the Watcher, I just hope we don't end up in a YA style love triangle! 1mo
JacqMac @Leniverse I love and hate the cliffhangers. Lol I agree about the YA romance. I like that he has been keeping the romance to a minimum. 1mo
JacqMac @Meshell1313 I keep wondering which way Zane is going to go. 1mo
Meshell1313 @Leniverse @JacqMac totally agree! I‘m invested in Vin and Elend even though it‘s not the main focus of the story. I‘m finding the stories so unique- whenever I think I have it figured out he flips the switch! 1mo
rabbitprincess I totally agree that Sanderson has a way with cliffhangers! 1mo
