YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

In a world where ash falls from the sky, and mist dominates the night, an evil cloaks the land and stifles all life. The future of the empire rests on the shoulders of a troublemaker and his young apprentice. Together, can they fill the world with color once more?

In Brandon Sanderson's intriguing tale of love, loss, despair and hope, a new kind of magic enters the stage — Allomancy, a magic of the metals.

Excited for this!!!

Me too! I really have to speed through my books earlier in the month because I'm worried I may not have time for this one XD But if I don't then I won't have much planned April anyway so I can continue into then.

We got this! I went from only having this one book in march to having 3 others before it, so we are in the same boat! lol

XD Yeah and 3 of my prior reads are big (acomaf, acowar and Elantris)

Lol good luck Girl!! Lol

Thanks I'll definitely need it, especially with how busy uni is lately going to become! I might have to dedicate every Saturday when I'm not visiting my parents to reading. Just to get through my scheduled load.

Definitely not reading this this month. Who knows when I'll read it. I'll try for May.

Lol so should we just table this for another time?

Yeah for sure. Can't do next month, but maaaaaybe May?

Maddison wrote: "Yeah for sure. Can't do next month, but maaaaaybe May?"

Lol that is fine!! I am revving up to see which book i will read come April so I may not have time to start this one :)

Okay sweet. Just had a real slow slumpy month with uni and everything.

Judy can you do next month? Start(ish) of the month?

Starting this one today! Probably will pause though and read another book in between.

Starting this now.

3% (view spoiler)[I knew that they consumed metals to make powers, but how does he burn the tin inside him? Does he just think about it?

I really want to know how he burnt down the house! (hide spoiler)]

9% (view spoiler)[Oooohhh she's a Mistborn, one of the really rare ones. Of course she is.

I'm loving the age difference between the two of them :D It means there won't (shouldn't) be a romance XD I love how adult books aren't focussed on the romance, and it isn't known whether or not the MCs will get together, while in YA it's a given. (hide spoiler)]

27% (view spoiler)[Wow this has really stepped up from the start! Vin's learnt all about Allomancy, the different metals and what they do, how to use them.

I'm seriously enjoying this and very impressed with it. It's all still making sense, despite the huge break I took in between picking it back XD Going to try my hardest to finish this this month but who knows what'll happen. (hide spoiler)] This is definitely a potential 5 star though so far :D

Omg really?!! I am reading 2 other books so far, but i should be starting this one really soon!! Now you have me excited

yay! I'm planning on finishing this on Sunday! next minth might read the next one but will realistically be the month after

42% (view spoiler)[Holy moly that was intense! Those Inquisitors were terrifying! I was getting total Goblet of Fire vibes from that, like when they had to steal the eggs from the dragons!

I'm really liking this foreshadowing to a relationship between Vin and Eland! (hide spoiler)]

46% (view spoiler)[Oh wow Eland's 21? I thought him more to be 16, while Vin's what 13 or something? Or maybe she's 15. But still, why is he interested in her? She's young! It makes more sense for an adult to be interested in her rather than Eland XD (hide spoiler)]

Nvm she's 16 lol.

55% (view spoiler)[So many theories and craziness going on. I kind of want more court intrigue/drama/gossip from Vin :p (hide spoiler)]

Pausing this now for a few days.

okay, i am just starting! It should take me a while to catch up to you!! Unless it is soon good i can't put it down lmao!

Yay! Who knows when I'll pick it back up XD

Who knows when I'll finish up Final Empire, as it's really big. The story's amazing but the font and the size are too intimidating :o

Where are you now? XD

Not far :( the damn font is so small and i keep starting and finishing less daunting books!

I know right XD I'm the same! But the story is really good when it gets going. I feel like it'll definitely grow later on! And I will finish it eventually. So much for one Sanderson a month :p

Yeah we were VERY optimistic! I am def going to finish it. Just will intermittently stop and read whole novels/series lol

Yeah me too I think xD i initially wanted to finish that this month but that's not going to happen xD I haven't even read much of anything this month. if I had the audio it would be different

Maddison wrote: "Yeah me too I think xD i initially wanted to finish that this month but that's not going to happen xD I haven't even read much of anything this month. if I had the audio it would be different"

Omg if i had audio i would have been done!!! Hmmmmm maybe i can get it lol

Yeah XD Only issue is I feel like I'd get confused with characters. I'm already confused in the physical. I kind of picture Ham and Breeze the same... When I know one of them normally wears a suit.

Hello :D
I'm joining you now :)
10% (view spoiler)[it's the 1st meeting of Vin and Kelsier. I like him a lot but i don't really like Vin. "Uhh... everything is bad and noone likes me and everyone will betray me...blablabla". maybe she'll get better but i don't like more than 1 POV to begin with. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah she's a little annoying. But she does get better.

Mind using spoiler tags?

Thank you! Sorry, totally forgot it :) Did correct it :)

Sweet :)

Also feel free to respond to my spoiler tags.

I knew that about her because it's on the back of my book in the summary...
I also think the age different is a good idea. I don't like that you always instantly whos going to fall in love and so on... a book with a normal friendship between a man and a woman without romance! Is that too much to ask? :D

Yeah I knew she would be XD It was sarcastic.

And yeah I know right! That's why I love adult books, because it's never a done deal! If they're the same age it automatically is

20%: (view spoiler)[I'm loving this audio so far!! The prologue was so freaking good and got me hooked instantly. I already love the characters I've met but sometimes Vin annoys me. Hoping that shit stops.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

45%: (view spoiler)[Omg things are getting so freaking intense and I absolutely love it! This book is so good that I keep getting lost in the audio - in a good way!! I'm definitely on the love train with Vin's character now. I'm wondering more about these Inquisitor's and a couple of other things.. but I'm sure I'll get answers along the way. (hide spoiler)]

Oh wow you're braving it too Alaina XD How do you read such a big book so fast!!

Yes we will get answers! It just might take a few decades, as there's apparently 13 books in the series and only 3 are out....

How are you surviving with this audio XD I've had to re-read so many passages about the different metal descriptions and what they do. Finally making sense now.

haha yes! This audio just keeps shoving so much information at me it's insane!

60%: (view spoiler)[Holy cannoli guys! Okay so the whole stone or metal descriptions were insane. I have a feeling I'm going to need a cheat sheet soon with all the information I'm getting from this book. I totally ship the heck out of Vin and Elend. because they are simply adorable. I don't like his ex-fiance - he definitely dodge that bullet! However, I feel like I can't really trust every character that I'm meeting or have met. This whole talk of war or whatever is just confusing me on who I should and shouldn't trust right now. (hide spoiler)]

80%: (view spoiler)[OH SHIT! Vin is a god damn bad ass! Slay girl slay! (hide spoiler)]

How do you keep up?? Wow 20% in 2hr that's insane.

Technically I finished the book last night but I never added the comment 🤦🏻‍♀️ And I did get a little confused about the metals and how they were used so I had to back track a little and I definitely understood it the second time.

Also the caps won the Stanley cup last night so I was in a pretty good mood last night. Okay I’ll had my comment now.
