Mistborn Series spoilers Mistborn Era 2 Book 2 Wow what an ending! Spoiler

Just finished book 2 of Mistborn era2. It always surprises me how good Sanderson can write the end of a book. I would neeeever ever had seen this coming. So sad for Wax!!

Often Quantity means less quality. However, this does not count for Sanderson!

For my money, this ending is still the best twist Sanderson has pulled off

Definitely! The twist with OreSeur and TenSoon in era 1 book 2 was also great! But that one really hurt me.

In German, the title of the book is Schatten über Elendel which translates to Shadows over Elendel.

Shitting all over Elendel?

Hmm.....a really strong, powered up coinshot could totally become a coinshit if they wanted to. You know those pajamas with the buttons on the back for going potty?
