Moshe mentioned to me that we’re going to have to do a book after the MISTBORN series that doesn’t have such a gloomy setting. First, I had ELANTRIS, with the city full of dark sludge. Now I’ve got MISTBORN, with the entire world full of black ash.
The coincidence wasn’t intentional. Remember, for me, there were seven books in-between ELANTRIS and MISTBORN. Most of those had far more cheerful settings. However, this story—which is based around a world where the Dark Lord won—kind of required a depressing atmosphere.
