We’re gearing up for some pretty spectacular fight scenes, if I do say so myself. The short one in this chapter is a good one. However, there’s much more to come.
I’d been waiting to pit Kelsier against an Inquisitor since the early chapters, where he led that one on a chase. Part of the reason I didn’t show that chase is because I wanted the reader to anticipate this moment themselves. I also didn’t show Kelsier fighting the Inquisitors in the palace the night that Vin was wounded. In short, I wanted to save the scene of a fight between them until Kelsier could really give it his all, actually fighting.
It took a lot to get him into a direct fight. However, push Kelsier far enough, and he’ll snap. When he does… well, you’ll have to read on.
