I also wondered if you could explain that circle in the cave some more, I didn’t quite get it.
I was sure Vin was the hero right up until the end, even though originally before I read the book, I was sure it would be Elend or Sazed. But then the epilogue author started naming people off, so I knew it wasn’t them. But it only mentions Vin as ‘she,’ when talking about how she got her spike. I was sure one of the epigraphs was going to be: “And that girl is me.”
The Sazed thing totally made sense in hindsight, I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out. And we were right about the “on the arms,” bit being the part Brandon was referring to, good find Vintage!
I’m a little sad that the lake doesn’t come into it more. But the Mist spirit and the Deepness were BOTH Preservation. That was cool.
I think I did a post on the circle. The short of it is, that is drawing too much attention. Just because Vin didn’t quite understand it doesn’t mean it’s important. (Though, of course, there are other things she doesn’t understand that ARE important.) Also, the lake might be involved more at a later date. See the other posts.
