I kind of wish I’d had more time to show Yeden’s transformation into trusting—even liking—Kelsier. Unfortunately, I’ve focused the book around Vin. By now, you should be seeing that she’s taking more and more viewpoints, and Kelsier is getting fewer and fewer.
That’s another reason why I shifted the book from being a true heist book into what it became. I wanted the story to be about Vin, not about the various clever members of the crew. Vin is a deep and interesting character to me, and she deserved the screen time to develop. That’s more important to me for the overall series than the clever heist against the Lord Ruler.
The result is that I don’t have a lot of screen time for characters like Yeden. So, their character arcs have to happen quickly and abruptly—such as the way he shows his changes in this chapter.
