Interview #1038: Steelheart Signing Report - Argent, Entry #19

Question

Did David get Steelheart’s weakness absolutely correct, or was it just close enough to allow him to destroy Steelheart?

Brandon Sanderson

It was absolutely correct. This is something David and Reckoners will actually discuss in Firefight . The second book will reveal much more about the Epics’ weaknesses, and you will find out that there is actually a pattern to them, even though everyone thinks it’s random.

Question

Are weaknesses somehow related to things, events, or phenomena the Epics feared, or hated, or disliked before they turned Epic?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO, second book. This is the exact question people—and David—are asking in the second book. Good question though.
