Summary pages have spoilers through the end of the book they summarize. However, they also have links to the rest of the Coppermind, which has full spoilers. To safely browse non-summary pages, consider using the Time Machine.
This page contains a chapter by chapter summary of Mistborn: The Well of Ascension. We hope this summary will make it easier to find specific areas of the book, as well as providing a quick plot refresher for anyone who doesn't want to take the time to reread the entire book. Each section will include epigraph quote, chapter summary and annotation summary.
Note This page contains spoilers!
Editing Note from Dean: Feel free to help me edit this page, if I miss something important. I am starting from chapter 13 (it's were I'm up to in the book). I will then come back and fill in the rest at the end. If anyone wants to upload any chapter header pictures to, this would be greatly appreciated.
