Episode notes
Trilogy Grows From Small To Cosmic
- Mistborn's trilogy arc expands from intimate to cosmic, growing scope each book.
- The Hero of Ages completes the plan and elevates Mistborn to one of Brandon Sanderson's best works.
Deliberate Zoom-Out Across Books
- The trilogy intentionally zooms out: book one is intimate, book two broader, book three cosmic and spiritual.
- That escalation enhances the emotional payoff and thematic depth across the series.
Epigraphs As Strategic Foreshadowing
- Epigraphs foreshadow and weave the larger plan throughout the trilogy, revealing connections slowly.
- They act like billboards guiding readers toward the climax without spoiling the mystery.
