Fantasy Book Club Series discussion

'Knives"-Zane and Vin, the knives of the two rulers...doomed I say, doomed.

Yet we FINALLY find out who the kandra spy is...Duh! and I didn't have a dang clue!

But now the wild goose chase starts...This should end well! NOT

This section really is the highlight of the book. The big climax, including the big reveal, was quite well done. I totally didn't see the identity of the spy coming, though in reading his annotations I can see where he did set it up, I just wasn't paying attention and reading very fast.

I really like the epigraphs/chapter blurbs/whatever you call them in this book. They reinforce a lot of the things the characters are chasing and reveal certain inconsistencies... ;)

yup-I got to say that Sanderson does a good job of setting up the twists...it is there to see but I keep missing them! Adds a lot to the book I think

I agree, it is still like a roller coast ride. There a moments of great writing there, when the spy is revealed and the battle with Zane was entertaining. I think the premise of the journey from Sazed was a little to easy to convince the duo to go, it all fell way to neatly into plan.
Although I do like the way that they find out the dodgy plan and are now reacting.

The spy's identity suprised me as well. I did like things getting resolved with Zane, and the voice in his head (view spoiler)[ at the end had some interesting implications. Although I have reservations about him NOT being insane. (hide spoiler)] The "Oh I'm not good enough for him/her" between Vin and Eland got a bit much though.

I agree!

The last section of this part was great. I really enjoyed the story and pace it has taken as we move towards the end. I was absolutely crushed when Zane called to OreSuer/TenSoon. I actually felt betrayed myself, but that of course is what made it so good. I hope the kandra comes back into the story. As for the fabricated story to get Elend and Vin to leave Luthadel, well, I have a feeling that while the story was a ploy to get them out of the city, something is going to come of it. I have foundered some on this book, but mostly for real life getting in the way of spending time with the book, but as I near the end, my fervor for the story is picking up steam and I am intrigued to see where it all goes.
