Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Sixty-Three Ruin and Preservation Were Human Ruin was human once. Vin implies it, and I’ll just come out and say it. Ruin and Preservation were both people, unconnected to the powers they eventually took upon themselves. I can’t say any more on that at this point, however. Ruin Helps Destruction Along…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Sixty-Two Part 2 Betrayal and Trust Sazed’s discussion on betrayal and trust here is very important. It harks back to Vin’s conflicts in the first book, as well as one of the major interactions between her and Kelsier. Kelsier believed that it was better to trust people and be betrayed than…

This is the ultimate culmination of everything that the force has been working toward with Spook. Ruin knows how to play off the lusts of mankind. Lust makes sense to Ruin, as he…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty-Eight Spacing Out the Climaxes I tried something new in this book. I’ve been criticized—rightly—in the past for cramming too much into my endings. A good, fast-paced ending is great, but when you layer climax on top of climax, a little of it gets lost. I’ve been trying, therefore, to plot…
