Legacy of the Survivor - Chapters 1-13

[Michelle]

Vin's hopelessness and Sazed's melancholy mood made this section seem heavy, which is perfectly fitting. Marsh's predicament isn't lightening the mood either.

The battle at Vetitan was exciting and action packed. It seems this Hemalurgy is going to be a pain in the side.

I find Elend's new respect for the Lord Ruler interesting. I am curious about the source of the new information about Rashek.

TenSoon's part of the story was crazy-good.

Is it just me or is Spook's distance worrysome?

Starting this book is bittersweet. I want to know what happens, but I don't want it to end.

[TS]

My favourite scene in this first section was Breeze claiming that if he is the evil force of doom he will make the ashes red or green, instead of black, which lacks flair.

Keep an eye on Spook, he will surprise you.

What a great way to commence this book. I really was hooked from seeing how mature Elend has come with his governing and prowess. I also think it is great that he is a mistborn as the additional firepower I think will be necessary to fight against Ruin. Another interesting thing is that it seems there is this dicotomy of power - Ruin & Preservation.

I was kind of looking forward to seeing Elend learning all about allomancy, but I suppose it would be just lazy writing, pretty much the same as Vin learning to be one in the first book and not much new development.
He is one of my favourite characters though, so I would read that happily :D
Nonetheless, he still doesn't have a complete hang of his powers, so I can't wait for more fights.

The character development is so riddiculously good. I began to like Sazed in the second book only, but after seeing him like this, so hurt and depressed, I started caring for him way more.

I did not expect that plot twist on kandra's front, but it is a very exciting development.
Also can't wait to see what Spook is up to, even though I do not like him one bit. I hope he surprises me with something brave.

[Shelleen]

Vin not liking some of what Eland is doing is making her more human and caring, and makes their marriage more true.
Loving how Eland is taking control but yet we see that he doesn't like having to hurt people but feels it is necessary. Still loving Sazed.
I am hoping that Marsh can overcome Ruin somehow.
Waiting to see what Spook is up to.

[Alreem]

I like how Eland is having control and acting like a real king/ Emperor.
Vin is not that hesitant in her action which is a real development from the last book :) I also wish that marsh can overcome Ruin actually I think he is going to play a huge rule in destorying Ruin. Also I never thought that Spoke will be more than Spoke if you know what I mean, I can't wait and see what he will do :D
The only thing I don't like about this book so far is how Sazed is losing hope and faith.

[Skye]

The set up for this book is my favourite out of the three.

I am loving hearing about the Kandra and their society. I hope that TenSoon is alright, worried about why they are waiting a month to give him his verdict.

I'm happy Marsh is back, and that they explained why he was like that at the end of the last book. It's going to be so interesting watching him figure out how to fight ruin.

Poor Sazed. I hope he finds what he's looking for. His character is so well developed I feel actually pain for his heart ache and depression. I think he's going to be interesting to watch what he learns through the book.

I hope we get some chapters from Spooks perspective this book, that could be very interesting. I think he's going to play a part in the uprising in the north.

[Warda]

So glad to be reading this book again. I was having major withdrawal symptoms.

I love Elend as a Mistborn. He seems more comfortable to be in command now and giving out orders. I still love that this isn't his preferred method but knows it has to be done.

Vin is just as bad-ass as ever!

Sazed.. I just can't fault his character. I can't wait to read more about how his character will develop.

Tensoon.. Marsh.. It'll be interesting to see how they will fight their battles!

[Sophie]

Yes! I am so excited to jump back into this world. The first part didn't particuarly grab me though. I'm interested in Marsh and the ruin controlling him. Tensoon and his parts are entertaining as well. However Vin and Elend and the end of the world is just so depressing, add Sazed and I am just super glad Breeze is still here! I also have to admit Elend as a Mistborn is still disconcerting me. His character is changing so much.

[Raquel]

I think this book so far is showing a perfect balance between extremes. There is Sazed's sadness, and Elend's and Vin's dispair, versus Breeze's beautiful ironic humor, and TenSoon's bravery and hope. There is Vin's realistic strenth, versus Allrianne's frilly and light intensity (I actually love them both and think they are both strong women in very different ways). There is Ruin's unsurmontable force, and yet there are so many possibilities of success!

And there is Kelsier. He doesn't need to be alive to be in the book, does he? (Although I wish he was).

So fun to imagine all that will happen. It is exactly what I expect from a good last book this far!
