Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn books have many strengths, and the original trilogy's main character — Vin — is one of the biggest reasons to read the series. Although Kelsier seems like the most powerful and iconic character when The Final Empire opens, Vin is very clearly the series' lead. And with her mentor's help, she winds up becoming one of the most powerful characters in the Mistborn series.
This is one of the most gruesome scenes in the Mistborn books, but it highlights just how deadly Vin can be. It also causes a bit of inner turmoil for her, as she's afraid of being viewed as a monster. Vin's response to this moment proves that she puts thought into using her powers and tries to do so responsibly. That may not always work for her, but it still makes her a compelling character.
This Mistborn moment isn't just another awesome display of power from Vin, though it does serve as a reminder of how strong she is after ingesting metal. This scene also marks a turning point for her ability to trust others and her relationship with Elend. That makes it doubly exciting, even if it doesn't elevate it enough to rank alongside Vin's more impactful moments in the later Mistborn books.
The massacre at Keep Hasting is uncharacteristic of Vin, and this is precisely why it's so memorable. It offers a glimpse of what she could have been had she followed Kelsier's path rather than her own. It also presents her with a choice — and despite how impulsive her actions are, she makes the right one. Realizing that he isn't a Mistborn, Vin decides not to kill Cett. She ultimately rejects the path of needless violence, even though she initially gives into it.
4 Vin Winning Her Final Fight Against Zane The Well Of Ascension The Well of Ascension is full of epic Vin moments, and her final fight with Zane is easily one of the top five. Vin and Zane spend much of the second Mistborn novel sparring, but things turn deadly when Vin refuses to leave Luthadel with Zane. When she chooses Elend over his half-brother, the latter lashes out with fatal force. This leads to an epic confrontation between two Mistborn who are nearly matched in terms of power.
