Great so far! I think this is my favorite of the trilogy, at least as much as I’ve read. I’m fascinated by the culture of the Kandra, it’s probably the most unique concept I’ve seen in a fantasy story. I think Spook is actually hearing Ruin when he thinks he’s hearing Kelsie’s, much like Zane was hearing “God” and like the Inquisitors are controlled by Ruin. Hemalurgy seems to be under his power.

I’m glad the Reen twist wasn’t real. I’m super worried about Spook now. Is he going to gain the throne then be puppeted by Ruin?

Still good, but I’m not sure how I feel about Reen being alive. Feels very soap opera-ish. I like the reveal about the Koloss. It’s very tragic, especially the fact that they continue to try to “become humans”. I’m worried about Spook, I think Ruin is going to try to turn him into an Inquisitor.

Still great! I’m loving learning the little bits about Preservation and Ruin. Like Elend, I am beginning to understand Rashek more. I feel bad for Sazed, but I am also wondering if there is another power at play that is pushing on his emotions and keeping him depressed. TenSoon’s story is still my favorite. I hope he meets back up with Vin now that he has escaped. It seems the Kandra know a lot more about Ruin.
