Joshua, by the way, also pushed for an action scene here—where Kelsier grabs the Inquisitor’s attention and runs. I do take most of Joshua’s suggestions. In fact, his desire to have an action scene earlier in this book is the biggest bit of advice by him I can think of that I haven’t taken. I just really felt that I needed more time to ease into Allomancy before I could do justice to an action scene. Actually, I think a fast scene like that would actually slow the book down, since I’d have to spend so much time explaining. Better to let the next few scenes play out, where we get some good explanations in dialogue.
