developing a simmering hatred for elend the longer i read mistborn
have to expand on this here but essentially it just dawns on me every now and again that the book is written by a morman man and therefore there are only 3 established female characters in this first book. vin, lady shan and the dead wife. i already raved about how its not remarked upon at all that vin is sixteen and elend, the man she is paired with, is twenty one - but the fact that the only fury vin gets from women is because She has elend’s attention and not them is just sad to see in such an interestingly built world. shan could be such an interesting character, typical noble asshole soother but instead she gets introduced and then later on remarked upon only as the bitter woman who hates vin because she cant get elend. wowza frankly
