Ade’s Reviews > Mistborn: The Final Empire > Status Update

I'll admit, I didn't pay as much attention to some of the details in this story because I initially didn't think I'd get through it (there were initially a lot of similarities to other fantasy books). Now I'm in deep and regret that - ha!

Discussion topics:
- Father / daughter relationship between Vin and Kelsier
- The various contrasts between Vin & Kelsier (skills, age, trauma, varying trust/ faith in people etc. etc.)
- 'Soothing' versus being a good conversationalist
- Jack of all trades (mistborn) vs. master of one (mistings)
- Logistics around a war; how much info the leader can openly disseminate without risking jeopardising the plan

This book is great to consume via audiobook after work, but is less fun to talk about than the other stuff I'm reading (largely because the concept was somewhat predictable as a fantasy book).

I'm getting there slowly but surely (my fault more than the book's).

I've found the sticking point
It's gotten to the interesting 'this is an impossible challenge' bit of the story

After a relocating - vacationing - starting a new job hiatus, I've actually restarted this from the beginning!

I started with Chapter 1 (audiobook).
My mistakes:
Mistake 1 - not realising there's a prologue.
Mistake 2 - consuming it as an audiobook.
Will maybe come back to it when more interested/ less confused.
