“What meaning am I creating with my life?”

“We cannot know how to live our lives in advance; that knowledge can only come as a result of being fully engaged in living.”

“Being in the core of ourselves removes the fear of being abandoned or overwhelmed by other people in life.”

“Our symptoms and difficulties are trying to transform us.”

The world building has been more “tell” than “show” so far which has made getting into the story a little difficult. Relating to the characters has also proved difficult for the same reason.

The book has stated a lot so far that it doesn’t emphasize or feed into “hustle culture” yet that is the entire vibe so far. A discussion on doing more. I just arrived at the augment talking about moonlighting.

Poignant and heartbreaking. And exactly how so many feel about a loved one taking on a caregiving role as dementia progresses to the point of forgetting.

I love the premise so far. The rules of time travel actually make a lot of sense…
1. People going through time can only meet someone that has been to the café;
2. No matter what happens in the past, the present will not change;
3. They have to sit in one specific seat to travel;
4. They must remain in that seat for the duration;
5. They must return before their coffee gets cold.

********SPOILERS*********






Oreseur’s betrayal after the evolution of the relationship with Vin was devastating! Finding out his contract was to Zane all along.
I never felt the full pull of Vin to Zane and was very pleased with her decision to marry Elend. For her character it made the most sense to seek that stability.
Clubs died. Dockson dead. Tindwyl dead.

*****SPOILERS*****
4.5 out of 5. Fantastic progression of the story and characters both. Wish more relationship development could be spent between other crew members & Vin- Dox, Ham, & Breeze. Eland seems even more naive for someone raised in the nobility. Learned Shan is Mistborn before Vin kills her. Elands father wants him dead. Marsh is killed by an inquisitor. Kelsier destroys the atrium within the Pits.

5 out of 5- only two thousand men left in the army now after the other 5000 decided to “test” their powers and protection under Yelen’s direction and got themselves killed. The rebellion is reveled.

*****SPOILERS*****

Totality- 5 out of 5. Loving Vin and her trusting. She followed Kelsier into the palace and gets attacked by two Inquisitors,sustaining a deep side wound. Only Sazed saves her. It takes weeks to heal but she is valued by the crew. Kelsier is setting himself up to be the next Lord Ruler it appears. The rebellion is growing. Lord Elend is someone worthy of trust, but is naive.

*****SPOILERS*****

Characters- 5 out of 5. Learning more about the crew and met Marsh (Kelsier’s brother) and Sazed (help assigned to Vin), and Lord Renoux.

World-4 out of 5 still. Starting to get a better feel for the caste system.

Story Plot-5 out of 5. Vin learning about Allowmancy and starting her training. Learning she will be the spy in the crew. Building momentum.

****SPOILERS*****

Characters- 5 out of 5 so far. Well described and clear. Interesting. Vin is 16/suspicious/determined/shrewd/survivor. Kelsier is 37/strong/stubborn/playful/cocky/experienced/leader. Father figure. Both Mistborn.

World-4 out of 5 so far. Starting to flush out. Described well as ashen.

Plot- 4 out of 5 so far. Heist setup feel but with a government overthrow goal. Good pacing.

I waited a month for my turn to read this at our local library. By the time I got to p4, I recognized that this was mirroring what I’ve been talking with my teen about. I jumped online and ordered a copy for our home library. A lot of solid advice and sound reminders for the inevitable rough patches. Page 63 about how your core commitment actually shows your core need. Woah.

I’ve read the first two chapters and I’m simply blown away. The first was so lyrical. The second resulted in racking sobs.

Seriously?!? Chapter 17. Wow. Clearly written by someone who hasn’t experienced clinical depression. Really harmful stuff to perpetuate the myth that if you’re depressed, you won’t be if you just “think happy thoughts”. Why I am still reading this crap? It has to get better if it was a NYT bestseller, right?!

Every time she says “love yourself” as advice, I can’t help but think she’s writing a high school essay and trying to reach a word count.

This is the second time she used the word “rill” in place of real. It’s unbelievably annoying and feels like the author is trying way to hard to be cool. Like the mom from Mean Girls- she’s not a regular author, she’s a cool author.

225 pages until the "big reveal", which was painfully obvious from page 5. This book has been a slow build. So far nothing emotionally impactful, yet I trudge on.
