Marcus's Reviews > Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set

this is that braveheart moment in this book. that championship speech going into the 4th quarter. the words the summarize the heart, the pain, and the hope of the entire series.

its elends final speech. before the end.

"Today, men, I ask you your lives."

"I ask of you your lives and your courage. I ask of your faith, your honor-- your strength, and your compassion. For today I lead you to die. I will not ask you to welcome this event. I will not insult you by calling it well, or just, or even glorious. But I will say this....

....."Each moment you fight is a gift to those in this cavern. Each second we fight is a second longer that thousands of people can draw breath. Each stroke of the sword, each koloss felled, each breath earned is another victory! It is a person protected for a moment longer, a life extended, an enemy frusturated!"
There was a brief pause.
"In the end they shall kill us. But first they shall fear us!”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages
