This thing where the epigraphs are entirely repeated from an in book text (except for a few key differences) makes it hard for me to actually take them in. I'm glad Sanderson hasn't done this again.

With a sudden flare, her earlobe began to hurt. She cried out, pulling her earring free, dropping it into the depths. She pulled off her sash, letting it--and her Allomantic vials--go as well, removing the only metals on her person.

The fact that in the next three hundred some years Marsh never heals that with fGold, even accidentally, makes me think there's something about Hemalurgic spikes that keeps them locked in place.
