Annotation- Defending Elysium
Annotation- Defending Elysium It’s hard to dig back through my memory to the days when I wrote the rough draft of this story. What was going through my head? The story was written on a beach near Monterey California, and remains the only published piece of mine I did entirely in longhand before transcribing to…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-Seven
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-Seven The Death of Bilg You may not recognize a cameo appearance by Bilg in this chapter. He was the soldier who punched Demoux. Who is Bilg? Well, if you go read book one, you’ll find a scene where Kelsier visits the caves where his army is training. He picks a…

Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-Two
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-Two Marsh Visits Penrod in Luthadel This chapter didn’t exist in the initial draft of the book; I added it in revisions. I originally liked the idea of the characters happening upon Luthadel later in the book and having to piece together what happened to Penrod from the aftermath of his…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-One
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Forty-One Sazed and Breeze Discuss the New Survivor I’m not sure whether this is an appropriate use of the term ostention or not.
