I am 300 pages in, and here are my impressions of the characters. Also have in mind that I have already read Stormlight so I know how the cosmere works in general.

Also please no spoilers

• Vin. You know when you see a stray puppy, and reach out to pet it, but it recoils and runs away because it thinks you will hurt it? Thats Vin.

• Kelsier. He's an ass. I love him.

• Breeze. He's an ass. I hate him.

• Dox. There is no way he is not gay for Kel \j

• Ham. I like him simply because he asks question no one else asks.

• Marsh. I dont hate him. But he also seems to be unfair to Kel. We'll see.

• Sazed. I love how cheeky he is. He also has more than he shows. I think he follows the "crouching moron, hidden badass" trope.

• Camon. He hurt Vin. I hope he... oop, nevermind.

• Yeden. Buddy. What were you expecting when you hired the embodiment of the Chaotic Neutral alignment?

• "Renoux". I dont know what is up with him. But somethig is up with him.

• Lord Ruler. I am split 50/50 whether he is as powerful as everyone says or if thats just propaganda. It all depends on how literal everyone is when they say he is "a fragment of God himself"...

• Hoid. Has not shown up yet, but I know he does as an informant of sorts. Cant wait for everyone to be done with his bs in this side of the Cosmere too.

Sixteen shards, sixteen metals... Do the shards have metals that represent them

Edit: thank you, your responses have been helpful

I have just finished Hero of ages and I'm in complete awe. I am so overwhelmed by the emotions flowing through me right now.

I absolutely loved everything about this trilogy of books especially the characters and the world they were placed in. Vin and Elend are some of the best characters I've read of and I love them so much.

I've never felt so satisfied and overwhelmed by an ending and just had to share my feelings. Truly an incredible trilogy.

That ending blew my mind. The ruin revelation made me rethink about everything until that point.

Misborn was my entry point to Sanderson and Fantasy. I wasn't aware that there's was some powerful god working behind the scenes the entire series. Like I was thinking the story would just be about the people living in the country not this big.

Nothing came close to that reveal. From that point I got accustomed to there is always another secret and a bigger purpose.

Humans are the voidbringers was another reveal which came close in Stormlight.

Kelsier working behind the scenes and holding the shard was another surprise. Sazed becoming the hero too but I was already too shocked by Vin and Elends death to register that reveal.

How that moment worked for you? Did any other moment stood out than this?
