Just finished The Well of Ascension *spoilers, obviously heh*

Don't worry Pygmalion, you aren't the only one. I have cried at many books I have read, and can be downright weepy at a good movie. I still haven't been able to watch The Pursuit of Happyness due to the fact that just the darn commercials make me weepy.

I think that we will see much of Elend's development into a full Mistborn. I don't think EUOL would short-cut us with something simple like "Vin taught him everything she knew."  That just wouldn't begin to cover it

lol, it's nice to know I'm not the only one... And you know, I didn't see The Pursuit of Happyness for that same reason as well. *sheepish*

You know though, I wasn't ever really sad that Tindwyl died necessarily, but more Sazed's reaction. Clubs' death was rough though... I was just starting to really get into him as a character and then BAM he's gone.... *sniff*

Glad you liked the ending.  I'm working on my endings--trying to space out my climax chapters just a tad more so that they still feel explosive without overwhelming.  I think I've gotten better at this with each book, but Mistborn 3 is the one I think I did the best job on.  (Note that I doubt my endings will ever completely get rid of the 'avalanche' of things happening at once because of the way I plot.  I've just been trying to deal with my sagging early-middle sections.)

I've got to say, I'm digging the 'avalanching' a good bit.
