Chapter 1 thru 5
1.The novel begins a year later, has anything really changed since the rebellion started?
2. Why didn't Elend's father use a more sneaky approach to take over the throne? He could have pretended to be coming home to his son then betrayed him, why do you think he didn't take this approach?
3. What do we think of the way Vin treats OreSeur?
4. Who do we think the Watcher is??

6. What do you think of Vin and Elend's relationship so far in the book?
7. We visit with Sazed a bit, the people he's visiting ask him why the Lord Ruler abandoned them, why can't people accept that he's really gone?
8. We know the person talking Kwaan in the little sections before the Chapters start, how does it change the impact of the information hes sharing knowing this person right away rather than wondering who he is for most of the book?
9. Kelsier was made a martyr when he died and people see Vin as his Heir, do you think shes worthy of this title?
10. Do you also think it was clever to feed a perfectly fine wolf hound to OreSeur? Or does the whole thing make you sick? Particularly the part where Vin punches the pup and sacrifices it? Is this better or worse than just letting him have one of the mistings she killed?
11. What do you hope the new metals will be able to do??

3. How does learning that Sazed is a wild man amoung his people make you feel?

5. What did you think of Duralumin effects?
6. Marsh wants Sazed to go back to the Central Dominance, why do you think its Marsh and not anyone else there trying to convince Sazed? Is this because they are such opposites or just that they are the outsiders of the group?
7. Vin seems really concerned about Elend giving up his power? Do you think this is because she didn't have any power for so long?
Chapter 11 thru 13
1. Breeze was under cover as an advisor for Lord Cett, did you think his plan was good to pin the armies against each other to buy Elend sometime?
