NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO

Books just let it slip that Vin and Elend don't make it. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I understood Kelsier. I really did. It was a Sorahb moment. I can't think of ANYTHING that Vin/Elend would be able to accomplish in that way. so, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No they don't!! I'm more than halfway through Hero of Ages and I'm slowly losing my appetite to read, just because I know what's going to happen to them. T__T I can't bear even the thought of it! Which is pretty painful, because the book really is exciting and I just want to find out how it all resolves in the end! The thing is, Kelsier's death broke my heart to pieces and so I had a feeling the rest of the series was going to do the same, so I found out about the Vin/Elend spoiler early on in hopes of 'making it easier' for myself. XD But I don't think it does.

I agree with what you said about Tindwyl. Sometimes I think, while she means well, some of her advice doesn't necessarily make for a better person or king really. Like you said, having his friends call him Elend might actually be good. In HoA, you'll realize that a lot of what Tindwyl had Elend do just made him feel embarrassed of his old self. And people now regard the new him as the new Lord Ruler, which is such a shame.

But yeah, in WoA, I really thought Elend's growth was quite similar to Sophos's growth! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. I told Books a couple of weeks ago that I was waiting for Elend to shoot an ambassador or something, and while he doesn't do quite that, you'll see that he'll do something just as surprising.

And yeah, Tindwyl's advice regarding Vin sort of confused me too. On one hand, she's all like "Marry her!", and on the other she's like, "You can't let your love for Vin get in the way of kingship!" Well, what does she expect him to do? Marry her, then ignore her? Nice husband he'll make.

I think the parliamentary government that Elend has set up would have been quite perfect if the world wasn't so unstable. And in HoA, he managed to get it to work in most of the cities he has conquered, but now the evil bad dude is out to topple his dream world, so uh... well, we know how Elend ends up. *cries hysterically*
