I personally don't think that Sanderson was going for a true fake-out death/resurrection scene. It was more of a way to have a scene with Sazed and have him explain things to the characters and readers, which is why it happened so fast. Whether that makes it better or worse is a separate question. For me, that made it better, because like you, I didn't believe that he was really going to die. Plus I was happy to see Sazed again and get his perspective on things.

I dont think that Wax's "fakeout death" is meant to be like "Oh no is our main character going to die". It's more used to just do those things you mentioned, to give us good Wayne development scenes, show us the power of the Bands, and give an excuse for a talk with Sazed. We're not meant to believe that he's actually dead

Wayne is my favorite character in these books. And I think that he is, as you say intentionally rude. He tries to annoy people and make them dislike him because of his own self hatred and he believes he deserves to be disliked. And as someone who was very much the "class clown" type in my youth I really relate to someone who reflexively responds to any and every situation with humor, even when humor is not the most appropriate response. I can't count the number of times for myself when I knee jerk reacted with a joke because I genuinely didn't know how to express my emotions and I feel that a lot from Wayne as well.

I think the thing about Marasi is that she's realizing she's not like Wax, and doesn't even want to be. It was her youthful idealization, just as her crush on Wax had been. Her not using the Bands made perfect sense here. But I think we're following a "Vin situation" here. She's giving up power now, but in the next book she'll accept it (if only temporarily and a different way). I see BoM as the end of Wax's journey, and the middle of Wayne and Marasi's journey. They're learning about themselves, and they're going to have a great conclusion in TLM. Note: It is very interesting to realize that if Marasi had used the power of the Bands to fight the Set, Wax would have really died.

I'm the minority enjoying more era 2 than era 1. To boot, this one is the the first in seven books than expand the view on the entire world (for me there was a disconnect since era 1 about saving the world while the whole setting was essential a big valley). It definitely picked my interest to see how things will go down in the next one.

For me it wasn’t a fakeout death. He was badly wounded but I never thought he would die. For me it was a near death moment.

I too didn't think for a moment Wax was going to die, however I could see how a reader who having just read Era 1 might think damn this man is gonna kill the main character again.

This is the kind of review I enjoy watching the most. There's a short non-spoiler section for those who need a little push to start reading and then we go deep diving into the plot, characters and plot twists. What I usually do (or about 99% of the time) is finish reading a book and immediately go into youtube to watch some review videos to hear what other people have to say about the stuff I've just read :) so it's perfect that You reference some random scenes You've literally just read about, because I'm in the same place and I can relate so much to that. So, a big thank You, Merphy ! As to the book itself !!!!! (SPOILERS) !!!!! - I loved it the most out of all three, because of - the ever-expanding magic system (granting other people powers through objects) - universe mythos being revealed gradually through Sazed and Trell's influence on the current conflict - connections to era 1 books (the reveal at the last page of the book really shook things up), I really missed Tensoon though. Thought he would appear if only just for a second. - Steris and Wayne characters' development (Steris is my absolute favourite) Books 1 and 2 were a little boring for me at times (just my opinion), while this one kept me interested throughout the whole run.

Wayne is definitely my favorite character. While he is a little bit overblown in this, I think I share the approach of "any time is a good time for a joke" and I have had to learn that sometimes I do need to censor myself because I don't want to hurt other people. And I do think that on some level Wayne might not realize this in the moment.

The only time I don't like Wayne is when he is rude to Steris. Like I understand he's a Marasi and Wax shipper but that doesn't mean he can be rude to Steris. STERIS DESERVES ALL THE LOVE!!

I just finished this book, and I agree completely about Wayne. He’s one of my favorite characters in the Cosmere, but I understand why people wouldn’t like him. I think a lot of his worst jokes/moments are him self-sabotaging bc he doesn’t believe he deserves good things, or doesn’t deserve to be liked or loved by anyone, so whenever he thinks someone might be starting to hate him less, he panics and says something gross or wildly inappropriate for the moment, to prevent that from happening. I was listening to the audiobook at work and actually had tears in my eyes when he was on his way to “present an offering to a beautiful god”, and fed the kids on the street, and then when he ruined the moment a little while later I was SO FRUSTRATED with him😭😭😂

Not sure if this has been stated or not but... Wayne doesn't want people to like him, he's held up on the murder he committed.

Theory that just clicked for me right now: what if Wayne is intentionally rude/mean to people (especially in moments of kindness or thoughtfulness) as a way to prevent others from thinking positively about him because he doesn't think he deserves it, possibly related to him being a murderer and a kleptomaniac?

Yeah when people say that they don't like Wayne beacuse he is rude to people for no reason I'm just like what do you mean no reason, he very obviously hates himself and it's very hard for him to have people like him, so he sabotages it somewhat through the way he acts.. This isn't to say that his behaviour is justified or right by any means, but it DOES make sense, to me at least. Am looking forward to what Brando has in store for Wayne in book 4, I think we will learn a lot more about him and hopefuly get a nice conclusion for his character.

I read the book five years ago now and a lot of it is a blur, but for some scenes, when you mention them, I get this instant recollection of how I imagined it as I was reading the book back then. It's really interesting trying to piece back together the rest of the plot.

Spoiler Hot take: I don't think this was meant to be a fakeout death/resurrection. It wasn't set up as that. It was more the "woman dying to give them a character arc" but with the Main character and second main than man and lady.

23:05 exactly, the way in which Wayne acts so rude (to put it lightly) sometimes reminded me of the game Disco Elysium, the main character is a broken alcoholic detective, and quite often (since the tone of the game is much harsher than that of the books, ofc) he ends up saying or doing very messed up things, even to the people he considers friends. He is written like a real person, one who makes mistakes all the time and can be unapologetically a piece of shit at times, meaning it or not. Back to Wayne, he acts like a person like him would, he is not a perfectly good character, who always is good no matter what. He does what Wayne would do. And that's indeed good writing.

All I can say is that thank you for adding to my tbr list

In Defense of Wayne: Okay, well, not actual defense. But there is an explanation for why he sometimes act in baffling ways, all backed up by Sanderson himself. Wayne is someone who does not understand certain personal and social boundaries, in a manner that is borderline psychopathic. And so, when Wayne botches up the scene with Ranette, is rude to Steris, and talks down to the shopkeeper, he is acting in ways that he doesn't see as wrong. He does understand them to be wrong, which may be why you got the impression that he knows when he is being a jerk, and he is trying to act better. But he struggles.

Some YA or middle grade authors may have simpler styles like Rowling or uncle rick but I've never seen a simpler writing style in epic fantasy. It took me entire books to get used to the writing of GRRM or Toelkien or joe abercrombie or any other author. While Sanderson hit me within first page. (Not even kidding) check him out I'm sure u will love him 💗

Watch/read "Vinland Saga" , even ask rogerbase how awesome it is!!!!

I think you kept mixing up Wax and Wayne when you commented on Wayne's character... that took a while to puzzle out.

You keep switching between wax and Wayne while talking about Wayne and it was really hard to follow. Especially since I haven't read the book in a while

huh, interesting you like Wayne that much but not to much Mat from WoT

Wayne says "those things" that you don't like because he's insecure as a man, young, forces humour and desperately wants people to like him. It might be because you're a female but I think it's common in men to be crass like that in order for people to like them as a jokester. Also you need to take into consideration the loose "time period" in which the book is set, men were a lot more vulgar and a lot more open about it during those times.

Have to disagree with you on Wax's Death experience. The point of him dying, to me, was pretty obviously not meant to trick us. Mistborn as a whole is very much about death being less binary. So as soon as he was about to die all of us knew he was just going to have a chat. I can very easily see it turn into something where Wax might kill himself or have a near death experience just to speak with Sazed.
