Mistborn 3 Annotations Discussion *Spoilers*

[Chaos]

Well, there's not a link because I had asked Brandon directly (okay, through Mi'ch, but whatever ). It confirmed what I had already expected. After all, we see female Mistborn being trained, gender biases aside. There's no reason why there wouldn't be female Inquisitors. If I was the Canton of Inquisition, I'd try to snatch up as many Mistborn as possible to become Inquisitors, for those would be the most powerful.

There were actually female Inquisitors when Vin fought the thirteen at the end of Hero of Ages, but it wasn't mentioned because it would've been distracted.

 That makes sense.  Besides exceptions made for mistborn however, are the Cantons exclusively male?

[Chaos]

I don't know. But I don't imagine the Lord Ruler would care enough one way or another.

[Comatose]

I was about to say something, but I thought I would regret it.  So I said this instead.

You mean it would've interrupted the narrative? Perhaps, unless Brandon had just slipped in a "she" when talking about one of the inquisitors.

[Chaos]

Personally, I think at that point, the fight there was what the readers were to be focusing on, not the gender of the Inquisitors.

I agree with the latest batch of annotations about the ending. It had a lot of punch. It was the right thing to do.

Every time I've talk about the book, my friends generally ask what I thought of the ending, because obviously it's a big slog to get through.  I end up telling them it's not the ending you want to happen, but it's the ending that needs to happen, and it is ultimately very fulfilling.

So now that Mistborn is done, will we get annotations for warbreaker?

[Chaos]

There's probably going to be two or three more annotations, probably an Ars Arcanum and maybe a book wrap-up.

Then yeah, I'd assume Warbreaker starts.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

There's one more Mistborn annotation, but yes.

[Comatose]

I can't believe they are done, there were so many!  I also can't believe that book came out what?  A year ago?  Two?

[kari-no-sugata]

I notice that the last Mistborn annotation is up (it was actually up on my birthday ). Thanks to Brandon for writing them and Peter for posting them. I really appreciate this sort of thing. Looking forwards to the Warbreaker annotations!

And now... a little confession. I actually started reading some of the annotations before I read any of the books - Brandon would often mention the Mistborn annotations in his blog posts, so I got curious about them one day and decided to read a couple. It was rather weird doing that - I was reading them in the exact opposite order  After a while, I decided I wanted to know what was actually going on and ordered the whole trilogy. I then read them all over a single weekend (starting on Friday evening).

[KhyEllie]

I guess that's one way to do it
