The Well of Ascension, 2nd book in the Mistborn trilogy. it's good but i feel like it's sub par to the first. Those action scenes though not often i say "FUUUCCKKK" after a kill in a book. also that twist was great. left me like

I was already ropped in straight from the beginning when she was talking about not wanting to leave bodies around...and the way she said it was like she was saying she didn't want to stop at the store on the way home or somethin'

Then ended up droppin' bodies anyways

you finish it yet?

the ending action was kind of weird, not weird in a bad way, but weird in a "i can't accurately picture who is where cuz so much shyt is going on " type of way

decent introduction to that author tho

Yeah I did what you did and ignored it. I decided on one gender for everyone... they're all female to me lol.

The concept was interesting. Split yourself up and eventually life experiences begin to divide you based on which you actually experienced said events vs which version of you only recalls them. When separated you assume you'd do whatever you think you'd do in those situations...but how sure can you be?

yup i did the exact same thing assumed everyone was a woman

and yea that concept is crazy a warship using tons of human bodies at one, very creative, when the separation happened i was at how nikkas just started makin moves, imagine that shyt becoming an animated or live movie

Yeah they wouldn't be able to get the point across in regards to the ships being AIs but still kinda human and doing many things at once in many different places. And when they start talking about the highly modified humans with many arms and other muphuckas with no gender shyt would get tricky

 

[Nature's Fury]
