What a fantastic ending.
Sanderson never ceases to amaze me with the small details that end up becoming huge plot points such as Vin’s earring, it is just so very well done.
By the end Sazed and TenSoon were my favorite characters. Sazed ending up the hero of ages was honestly just beautiful, it felt so real, especially with the prompting of Spook earlier in the book to remind Sazed how powerful knowledge can be. TenSoon’s fight to get to Vin and still never reaching her was really sad for me, I wish they had had one final moment together, but I do love how he fought for her without her ever knowing it.
Vin and Elend dying feels right. They both did what they could for their people and in the end had they lived it would’ve felt too neat, I think their ending, while sad, is the best choice Sanderson could’ve made for them.
Fantastic book, no dragons though.
