(I had to think for a while to get the joke, to be honest. (I don't either.) He even went so far as to make a T-shirt that said "Incalculable" on it and wear it to one of my signings. In the first Mistborn book, I referred to Peter Ahlstrom (one of my longtime friends and alpha readers ) as "the incalculable Peter Ahlstrom." He got a big kick out of this, partially because he didn't know what the heck it meant.

People were confused by book one having final in the title, as they weren't sure if that book were the first or last in the series. Regardless, I'm now very glad I didn't go with The Final Hero. If you've read the books, then it makes perfect sense and is a great capstone title to the trilogy-but to those who haven't, I think it comes off as a rather bland title. I'm satisfied with it, but it's not my favorite title. Eventually, I settled on The Hero of Ages. So I toyed around with other words and terms I could use. The Well of Ascension is actually my favorite title of the three, I think. In addition, if I titled book one The Final Empire and the last book The Final Hero, then it seemed that the second book should also be The Final (Something)-and I didn't like that either. I changed this for a couple of reasons.įirst off, I just didn't like the way The Final Hero sounded. In the first draft of book one, that was the term I was using for the hero from Terris lore. Originally, this book was going to be called The Final Hero.
