Interview #917: AMOL Signing Report - Freelancer, Entry #15

Question

In the Mistborn series, I read on one of your posts online that you had a rough outline of how the series would have gone if a major death in the first book hadn’t happened? I was just curious how that would have progressed if he was still alive?

Brandon Sanderson

He would have taken over, because that character doesn’t not take over. And it would have been a very different series, it would have been more heist focused, and not so much epic fantasy focused.

Question

Would he have finished everything up a heck of a lot faster than Vin and Elend did?

Brandon Sanderson

Worse, but yes. Things would have gone very differently, how about that? The reason I decided it couldn’t go that way was because I think the series just wouldn’t have worked.
