Interview #727: Hero of Ages Q&A - TWG, Entry #2

Kirrin (15 October 2008)

Just wanted to say, great work on the book. It kept me completely occupied from around 11 am to 8 pm and I have got to say that it had the most well thought out ending ever put into a book.

Also, do you have any plans for more Mistborn books? Or is this the end?

Brandon Sanderson (15 October 2008)

Okay, I was expecting these. Let’s get to them first.

More Mistborn Books

My plans right now are to do a second trilogy of Mistborn books set several hundred years after the events of the first series. That means that technology would have progressed, and there’s a good chance I’ll decide to do the books as kind of an urban fantasy. (But set in a completely different world from our own, so not quite like other urban fantasies.) Guns, skyscrapers, cars—and Allomancy.

Now, I’m not 100% decided on that. I know that adding modern technology ruins the fantasy flavor of a book for many people, so I’ll have to think about it. But I think the imagery would be compelling, and I would love to deal with a ‘modern’ world where the events of this trilogy form the foundation for the religions, history, and society of the book. It would be a really challenge, since I’d have to decide how technology and society developed following this book.
