Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty-Seven Vin Wonders If She’s Mad I love Vin’s paragraph on deciding if she’s mad or not. Zane spent his entire adult life debating this issue, trying to determine whether he was really insane or not and trying to figure out how much of the world around him was a fabrication…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty-Six Spook and Sazed Talk about Faith I say that I don’t try to put messages or morals into my writing, but that doesn’t mean they don’t appear there. It just means that I try to avoid sitting down and writing stories for the express purpose of getting across an agenda.…

Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty Vin Tries to Defeat the Sedative That’s our dear, impulsive Vin. Drinking the drugged wine before five minutes had passed. Elend would have stewed in the cavern for days before making that same decision. I went back and forth on how difficult it might be to open those cans. I…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-Nine Sazed’s Memorization Skills Okay, long chapter here. I’ll bet I have to split this annotation in two. But, let’s launch into it. First off, you should know that Sazed tends to gloss over just how hard he had to work to memorize those copperminds of his in the first place.…
