Yeah i think the thing that gets me is that he likes to drop a lot of fantasy proper nouns at the same time in both those openings. There are ten heralds and this scene is so important it’s only fitting to happen there. And I think in a visual medium it might’ve gotten me better, or maybe had I been reading instead of doing the audio book.
I stand by the kelsier plantation scene being a worse opening than just starting with Vin though
Yeah and I’ll admit the Kalak bit didn’t pull me in super well, in a way very reminiscent of the plantation scene of mistborn
That’s understandable. It worked on me though. I was convinced Taln was going to want revenge. 🤣
