When they want to see the ledgers from a bank, Wayne's plan is to go in disguise so that he distracts them while she steals the ledgers. Marasi just tells the manager that they're with the police, and the manager hands them over after confirming their identities. At the train station, Wax gets attended to by a physician. The local captain tells him that the robbery was perpetrated by the Nightstreet Gang, a notorious gang in the area. Wax talks to the captain about the gang as he worriedly searches for Wayne. Matieu asks Wax for help in catching the ones that got away, but Marasi reminds him that he already has a task. Wax finally sees moving blue lines and finds Wayne in an empty compartment, hiding in the luggage compartment in the floor. MeLaan is there with him, topless. Man Behind the Man: Wax's sister Telsin is not a hostage, but a member of the Set, and outranks Suit.

Kandra also don't deal well with acid. Learning that there was an acid trap in the temple to deal with people like her who intentionally charged in setting off every trap because they could survive more conventional bodily trauma, and that the only reason she didn't fall victim to it was because it had frozen in the cold, causes her to go uncharacteristically silent for a while as she contemplates what could have been a most unamusing fatality.Exact Words: Allik tells the crew that before he arrived to the south, the Sovereign was a king, then a god. When Wax tells him the Lord Ruler died, he replies that the Sovereign told that too. He never says those two were the same person. Ain’t my fault people like to shoot at you, mate,” Wayne said as they reached the coach. “You should be happy; you’re usin’ your talents, like me granners always said a man should do.” What's more, ReLuur claims to have seen the Bands, but doesn't have any pictures of them. He does, but no one else recognizes them. He got a good one of the statue.

Magitek: The southern people have discovered how to manipulate the Metallic Arts with technology, allowing them to create Push-powered airships. Best of all, however, is their use of nicrosil feruchemy to create simple feruchemical tokens that anyone can use. Their airships, for example, require all their passengers to wear iron discs so they can store weight and reduce the load. Because of the extensive tour I did for Shadows of Self (and because I’ll be going out on tour again in February for Calamity), I’m not planning to tour for this book. We’ll be doing our normal release party. (Midnight at the BYU Bookstore.) And I’ll blog about that tomorrow. Today’s post is for those of you who want to get a signed and numbered copy shipped to your door by Weller Book Works. Showdown at High Noon: Subverted. Wax himself claims that he's conducted testing and such showdowns make no sense, as the one that draws first, always shoots first. And when his clueless uncle Suit proposes a shooting duel, Wax does not shoot but throws himself at Suit — getting shot in the process — and then uses his Allomancy and Feruchemy to defeat him. Mistborn: The Bands of Mourning is a steampunk fantasy novel written by American author Brandon Sanderson. It was published on January 26, 2016, by Tor Books and is the third book in the Wax and Wayne series and sixth in the Mistborn series. It is preceded by Shadows of Self in 2015 and followed by The Lost Metal in 2022. [1] Plot summary [ edit ] Already Undone for You: Averted. The first trap in the temple stayed triggered, and the bodies of the last explorers are still there. When it turns out that the Bands were already stolen, Wax realizes that it would be almost impossible to reset most of the traps (such as the collapsing ceiling), which means that either the thief evaded every single trap, or there was no thief.The trilogy’s heroes are now figures of myth and legend, even objects of religious veneration. They are succeeded by wonderful new characters, chief among them Waxillium Ladrian, known as Wax, hereditary Lord of House Ladrian but also, until recently, a lawman in the ungoverned frontier region known as the Roughs. There he worked with his eccentric but effective buddy, Wayne. They are “twinborn,” meaning they are able to use both Allomantic and Feruchemical magic. Amusing Injuries: Downplayed with MeLaan. As a kandra, injuries can hurt, but aren't fatal, and can be ignored if she shuts off nerves. Her being able to reduce everything into Amusing Injuries lets them set off traps in the Bands of Mourning's temple with impunity. Wayne and Marasi enter a bank right before closing time. Wayne goes over his plan with Marasi to distract the employees while she searches the ledgers. She interrupts the performance and throws her weight around as a constable. Wayne is filled with hatred for the world as Wax dies. Wax was the only one who believed in him. He grabs Wax's shotgun and wills his hands to stop shaking. Wax and Steris attend a political party hosted by some shady people. Planning on Wax's usual event-filled life, and anticipating he wouldn't be allowed to take his guns in, she tapes a spare to her leg. And adds extra layers of clothing to prevent embarrassment when he needs to retrieve it. At the same party, she also carries a mixture to induce vomiting, in case someone wanted to poison them. Turns out, it has other uses as well.

A plot where Crystal Dragon Jesus leaves behind a holy relic hidden in a desolate temple heavily armed with traps, guarded by the faithful behind a trap where runes spell out something significant to the Crystal Dragon, with the relic hidden in plain sight to be found only when the hero seeking it puts themselves in the mindset of the Crystal Dragon to decipher where it is really hidden. Oh, and the new girl is a traitor. No Time to Explain: Justified. Allik's Translator Microbes don't work at the same time as his life-saving heating device, so he only speaks to the others when it's important. He stops to tell the others about the pertinent legends, but doesn't go deep enough for them to realize that his Sovereign and their Lord Ruler are two different people.His particular style of storytelling in which he manipulates sand or smoke to illustrate his stories, as in Warbreaker and The Way of Kings, does not originate from White Sand, but from another unpublished story, The Liar of Partinel. [19] In Warbreaker, Siri asked Hoid where he learned his style of story telling. Hoid answered, "I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn't know who While waiting for Wax and Steris to return from the party in New Seran, Wayne is again reading a book, this time about a group of seven convicts who steal a spaceship. I started my Mistborn re-read while awaiting the release of the third Secret Project. Yum I and the Nightmare Painter. I had already read everything else when I finished Tress, wait... TOES?? I wonder if that is Cosmere relevant? Like are the Aethers in Tress like the individual toes, or toe jam left over from the Shattering of Adnalsium?
