    Interview: Jan 6th, 2015

    Question

    Why couldn't Joel be a Rithmatist? He wanted it so bad.

    Brandon Sanderson

    I will explain as the series progresses. That is a plot point. Every book like that, they get the power in the end, and I thought it was a much more interesting story if he has half—the knowledge—and Melody has half—the talent—and together they create a whole. It just worked, and it was much better for me as a story. I knew going into it that he wasn't going to be able to by the end of the book, but the reasons for it you'll find out as the series progresses.

    Interview: Jan 6th, 2015

    Question

    In The Rithmatist, you mention that Joel actually sneaks into the classroom, is that a spin-off of what you did?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I actually had a teacher once ask, "Who are you?" One of them actually picked me out. Fortunately, that was one that my roommate was going to, so I was able to [pretend I was just there with him].

    Footnote

    The last part is paraphrased due to "what he said involved too many gestures and non-word sounds".
