Plot summary[edit]

Please could we get a bigger plot summary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.186.134.105 (talk) 04:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not especially helpful in determining what the story is about, and it uses a large number of story-related technical terms without any explanation. What is a half-skaa or a skaa for that matter? What is the Ministry and who or what are their Allomancers? Coppercloud? Deepness? Tinyeye? People like me who haven't read the novel won't come away from this page with any more understanding than when they started, and people who have read it will already know all this stuff. I suggest either avoiding or explaining all the terms used and giving a slightly more detailed plot description because right now it reads as the plot to every fantasy novel ("the hero has to realize she's a hero and fight the BIG BAD!").

I agree. This, and the Mistborn series article, does nothing to help me decide if it is a series I want to read. -- James Sumners (talk) 13:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten the plot summary and reorganized some of the information present. Hope it helps, and let me know if anything is unclear, missing, or needs further clarification. —Quachh (talk) 23:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a Wikipedia page for an novel, not a "Should you read Mistborn?" video. ONE RING (talk) 01:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of characters[edit]

Do we really need that list ? Does it add much ? -- Beardo (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
