Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Seventeen Chapter Seventeen So, now the Watcher is named. I didn’t originally intend him to remain mysterious for so long. In fact, in the original draft, I had a viewpoint from him fairly early on. That’s been moved back in this version, to make things flow more quickly at the beginning,…
Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Sixteen Chapter Sixteen Vin in her room This first scene is a classical Brandon scene–a character studying, thinking, and exploring who they are in their own head. Some people find my narrative style–with the thoughts, the conclusions, and the debates in the head–to be a little slow. I can understand that,…
Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Fifteen Chapter Fifteen The actions of this wildman here seem strangely logical to me for some reason. Everything he did simply felt right. Sometimes–well, most of the time–character work that way for me. It makes me worry, actually, that sometimes the characters are too clichéd. After all, if their actions and…

Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Thirteen Part Two Chapter Thirteen Part Two This Elend scene here is almost a direct parallel of the scene in book one where Kelsier first introduces the plan to his people. Elend has a much harder time of it. In fact, this scene–in conjunction with the scene with the Assembly–is supposed…
Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Thirteen Part One Chapter Thirteen I hope this first paragraph isn’t too overly-poetic for you. I have a tendancy to dabble in writing poetic language, and can veer into sections of prose that are a bit over-written. But, my editor didn’t strike this down, so I assume it’s all right. The…
Annotation Mistborn 2 Chapter Twelve Chapter Twelve This chapter is meant to be our ‘pay off’ chapter for the time we’ve invested into Sazed over the last few chapters. I, personally, think it’s the coolest chapter in this section of the book. Feruchemy really turned out well as a magic system, and I’m glad I…
