@Leira, yeah! And it's cool seeing Kelsier learn more about how things work and figure out how to get items for himself, like the staff.

I've read part 5 now, and while I have part 6, the longest part, they haven't said who Drifter is yet. I am genuinely curious about it.

If it's been made obvious somehow, let it be known that I do not pick up on cues easily.

I thought Drifter was Hoid, but maybe I'm wrong? I just figured it had to be him since he's the most prominent worldhopper, lol

He could be! He certainly came off that way initially as Hoid but a part in part 5 made me think temporarily otherwise.

The part where Kel got to Fadrex and saw a bandaged wrapped Drifter when Vin got near him.

I also assume that the Drifter is Hoid. And I do believe that Sanderson have confirmed that somewhere, though I don't remember where...

I am now done with Mistborn Secret history and I am seriously misty eyed.

Yes, it's Hoid. Who after this is a Mistborn, the lucky dude :shifty

Are there any plans for a read of the Stormlight Archive after this? I am planning a reread before Rythmn of War comes out and would love to join in if there is one :pleased-1:

If we did it afterwards, we might not have the time required. We’re doing the Wax & Wayne books starting next Monday.
I’ve already read WoK and I’m well into Words of Radiance myself, but if anyone else wanted to run a re-read thread for Stormlight, they are more than welcome.

Yeah, I figured that might be the case, Thaddius Sedai. Hoping to join one of these reads at some point tho! I might send you a pm later asking about how this is done if it's allright. I don't wanna spam up your thread here :pleased-1:

I love how Alonoe is all set on becoming Preservation, but then offers of her own will to serve 'Ruin'. Gives us a glimpse into more of their motives. (i.e. capturing a Shard; doesn't necessarily have to be Preservation)

Kelsier's plan, dipping in and out of the ground is really fun to watch. :laugh:

I hesitate to look anything Mistborn-related up on the coppermind because I haven't read the Wax/Wayne Trilogy in full yet (Read Alloy of Law 10 years ago)

When Ati finally died and appears in the cognitive realm, he says "Vax?". I can't remember if we ever learned Preservation human name and if that was it or not.

That was so much fun to read.

Yeah, I guess 'read', not 'watch'. :laugh: Though the way Sanderson writes, it definitely plays out like a movie in my head! Especially dynamic scenes like that one.

He definitely has a more..cinematic approach to his writing. I feel it makes it flow easier.

I think he talked about this in one of the annotations, about how his writing was influenced by movies he's seen, especially superhero action movies.
