Brandon Sanderson / Question regarding Mistborn 2 **SPOILER POTENTIAL****
« on: August 20, 2008, 04:34:55 PM »
Since I finished rereading Mistborn 2, something has continued to confuse me.
In Chapter 12when Sazed goes with Marsh to the Conventical to retrieve something. Marsh goes to get Sazed, saying that he needs his help in case his brethren are there. When they are in the Conventical, Marsh tells Sazed not to follow him while he goes up the stairs.
From what we know of the third book chapter one, why would Marsh, who is somewhat controlled by Ruin, need help to protect him from his brethren?
If Ruin really controls Marsh, why would he want Sazed to go with him? Sazed finds the metal journal that eventually leads to the understanding that something is changing his memories and his metalmind. In that case, I am not so sure that it is Ruin controlling Marsh.
Seeing what is contained in the metal journal is partly what convinces Sazed to return to Luthadel. It just seems weird to me that the power that is controlling Marsh, who I assumed to be Ruin, would make that kind of mistake.
I still believe that the Well of Ascension would have called to Vin, she seemed to be going that direction on her own without Sazed's help, so why introduce a variable that could spoil everything?
Does anybody have any thoughts?
