Mistborn ch 29 - 34

 Ch 29 pg 479

Vin is reading the Lord rulers diary that Sazed translated.  He talks about how the keepers don't seem to trust him any more because a high profile keeper told them he wasn't the chosen one.  But they're all doing their duty to support him going into the frozen north to fight the deepening.  Vin is excited to read the part where he describes how he used alomancy to fight the deepening.  But there isn't one.  Sazed says he translated all their was.  Lord ruler must have decided not to journal anymore after the defeated the deep being and started to take over the world 🌎.  Vin asks Sazed if she can burn some of his metal he's stored power 🔋 in to see if she can access it.  She tries and can't do it.  She can feel the extra power in the metal but it's too far away for her to reach out and touch.

Kelsier comes back to the keep and The team is there looking over the city Map with soothing station locations his brother got.  It also has the location of inquisitors raids.  One of them is Theron's crew.  That was the other crew in on the canal boat fraud scheme.  This is bad cause it seems like the inquisitors are still on Vin's tail.  They are working on a plan to take out all the soothing station locations at once.  They ask vin what she learned at the ball and she doesn't tell them.  She seems to care about Eland more than the revolution.  This is bad.

Ch 30 496

Vin goes to the ball and it straight up sucks.  Sazed finds out all future balls have been cancelled.  The only person willing to talk to Vin is Kliss, the most gossipy lady in all the nobility.  Turns out she isn't just a gossip.  She's an informant and she knows tons of stuff and if Vin wants to stay in the know, its going to cost her.  Vin gives kliss her necklace to get whatever info she has on Eland.  There's a plot afoot to kill Eland tonight.  Vin alomances her way to Eland's room and finds a kill squad of alomancers there to kill him.  Shan is with them.  She's a mist born.  Vin fights so hard that she wins.

Ch 31 pg 514

Vin goes back to the hideout and Sazed sews up ☝ her arm.  She tells everyone she killed Shan saving Eland's life and the crew is not pleased.  They worked so hard getting this war between the houses going and here she is ruining it by saving Eland when his death would have really ignited  fighting amongst all the nobels.  She gets pissed and says they're all basically nobels.  They sure don't live like Ska.  

She goes up to the roof and Kelsier comes up and they talk about the fight.  The big discovery they make is that Vin  can sense Kelsier's alomancy even when he's burning copper to try and cover it up.  The theory is that she's just that much stronger in her poweres.  Probably the Lord ruler and inquisitors can do the same thing.  That's how he and his wife were caught.  Not because they were betrayed, but because he could sense her using alomancy.

now we are in Eland's point of view.  He is unaware that someone tried to.kill him.  He thinks that the alomancer s were just spying on him and his friends.  He's tracked Vin back to the hideout.  His spies say the place is a skaa thieving hide out.  Somehow this makes Eland feel much better than if she were a Nobel spy.  He goes back home and his father informs him about Shan and the rest of the kill squad.  He's feeling grateful to be alive.  He has no idea Shan wanted him dead.

Ch 32 pg 532

It's been a while, the Nobel war rages on in secret at night.  House Hastings has fallen.  Vin and Kelsier go to visit Marsh.  He's dead, presumably killed by an inquisitor.  Kelsier hits the Lord ruler where it hurt s.  He goes to the atrium mine and kills all the guards and sets all the slaves free.  He's using iron to find atium.

Ch 33 pg 547

Kelsier didn't just find atium in the mine, he used his alomancy to destroy the mine all together.  It will be three hundred years before that mine produces any more atium.  There's another call to the square.  More executions in response to Kelsier destroying the mine.  At first he was just going to watch.  But then he recognized some of the prisoners its the fake lord reneau and his people.  Kelsier is gonna save them.  An inquisitor shows up to make things more interesting.  Kelsier's plan is to free the prisoners and run.

Ham goes to get so.e army guys to help.  Vin hangs out with Breeze to help sooth the crowd.

Eland shows up trying to save Valette.

Kelsier is not having a lot of luck saving people and not getting killed by the inquisitor.  So he pushes everyone else away by burning steel and he's gonna have himself a real fight with an inquisitor.

Ch 34 pg 561

Kelsier does all sorts of awesome things in the fight.  He's not able to save lord reneax.  Renoux gets an axe in the back from the inquisitor.  But kelsier keeps fighting and being awesome and he pulls thus slick move where he's able to slam the inquisitor into a cart and the spikes coming out the back of his head get attached to the cart and he can't get away.  Kelsier cuts his head off.  Everyone is super excited for a minute.  But then the lord ruler shows up.  He's stabbed by a few spears, but pays them no mind.  He kills kelsier.  No exciting fight.  Just slaps him once and he dies.  Ham grabs Vin and they run away.
