A few years ago I had the privilege of meeting Brandon and spending a good bit of time with him while he was touring for The Gathering Storm . He’s a great guy and very easy to talk to. So, it was late one night when I finished reading The Alloy of Law and I was excited, I simply had to talk with someone about it ( my review is here ). So, I got on the computer—however this was over a month before the official release date, and not many people had read the book and certainly no one was talking publicly about it. Naturally, I thought that it’d be awesome to talk with Brandon about it—of course we all know how busy he is wrapping up the Wheel of Time. So, next best thing, I set up an interview with him with the help of his ever-faithful assistant, Peter. I love that a long-lasting blog comes with such privileges. Anyway, the interview below is the result and it’s almost entirely focused on The Alloy of Law . Of course since I didn’t really want to spoil the whole book, we don’t discuss everything that I wanted to, but this should give a nice taste of what The Alloy of Law has to offer. Warning, question 4 contains spoilers for the original Mistborn trilogy (Brandon mentions as much so there is a second warning).
Thanks again to Brandon for taking time out of his busy schedule to answer these questions and thanks again to Peter for making it happen. Enjoy!
