Interview #36: Twitter 2011 (WoT), Entry #86

Brandon Sanderson (18 January 2011)

Unless I’m missing one, our first Egwene viewpoint in the series is the way into The Great Hunt . She is our fifth viewpoint character.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Point to @RajivMote: I DID miss an Egwene viewpoint. In “Ravens,” the new first chapter of The Eye of the World in the Young Adult repackage of the WoT books.

ERIN KELLY

Sixth, if you count Bors and the five seconds of Moraine at the end of The Great Hunt .

BRANDON SANDERSON

I already counted Moraine. Not Bors, though. I’m talking Viewpoint characters, which means characters who commonly have VPs.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Fortune prick me, a Domon viewpoint. Don’t know if I’ll count him as the sixth VP character, though. We don’t return to him frequently.

HADNAN KADERE

But you counted Moiraine who only shows up once in The Eye of the World , once in The Shadow Rising , and twice in The Fires of Heaven .

BRANDON SANDERSON

She’s got a ton of VP time here at the beginning of The Great Hunt .

HADNAN KADERE

She has exactly five VPs in The Great Hunt . She has exactly nine in the whole series (not counting New Spring ). That’s only three more than Fain.

BRANDON SANDERSON

I’ve been asked who was behind the plot to see Domon dead in The Great Hunt . It was Hamlet, obviously.

BRANDON SANDERSON (19 JANUARY)

I’ll count Fain as our sixth viewpoint character (or, maybe he’s fifth and Egwene is sixth.) I love the scene where they find the dead Fade.

TEREZ

Your Inquisitors in Mistborn always made me think of that Fade. Sorry if I’ve said that before; I can’t remember, lol.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Yes I think there’s got to be some kind of unconscious thing going on there on my part. (Re: Fades and Inquisitors.)

Footnote

Bors/Carridin had four POVs , while Thom only had four before A Memory of Light , and Domon also had four, but all four were in The Great Hunt .
