Then Kiley had a question. She’s very soft-spoken so I’m not sure I got it all down right.
So how much, either consciously or unconsciously, do the diary entries from the Lord Ruler reflect the Rand-type characters?
That’s the pitch to myself for Mistborn, years ago: “What if Rand failed, and decided to take over the world instead?” basically. It’s more than that, though; it’s, you know” “What if Frodo kept the ring? What if the hero from the monomyth failed, and instead became the tyrant?” And so, I consciously evoked that.
So did you ever see in that through the end, so that Rand didn’t go….like, this is really similar, ever?
Not specifically, but you know, I was basing the idea off of that, yeah.
It was like, “This could be Rand’s diary,” you know.
