Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Sixty-One What Happened to Janarle We finally get a brief mention of Janarle in this chapter. He is a side character who became a side side character. It’s important that he bowed to Vin at the end of the second book, but he quickly became someone I didn’t have time to…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Sixty Silver, the Useless Metal I’ve annotated about this before, but I figured I’d mention it again. As you probably know, in book one, tin was originally silver. I swapped it out for various reasons. However, that left silver having no Allomantic powers. That feels strange to a lot of people…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty-Nine TenSoon Visits Urteau The fact that TenSoon is out of the homeland without a Contract is an important point, one I myself didn’t consider up until now. Always before, anyone who wanted to hire a kandra left a message in a designated place in Luthadel. The kandra found you—a creature…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Fifty-Eight Part 2 Spook in Ruin’s Power In this chapter, we show Spook almost completely under Ruin’s power. 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…

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…
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-Five Elend Sees the Mist Spirit Elend really does have a lot of faith in Vin, even if he doesn’t worship her. He ascribes an almost supernatural power to her. And, I can kind of see why he would. In these books, Vin’s almost less of a character and more a…
