I saw this connection between the Mistborn book and Alcatraz 1 and 2. Here it is.
Mistborn:
Sometimes, I worry that I'm not the hero everyone thinks I am. . . .
The philosophers assure me that this is the time, that the signs have been met. But I still wonder if they have the wrong man. So many people depend on me. They say I will hold the future of the entire world on my arms.
What would they think if they knew that their champion--the Hero of Ages, their savior--doubted himself? Perhaps they wouldn't be shocked at all. In a way, this is what worries me most. Maybe, in their hearts, they wonder--just as I do.
When they see me, do they see a liar?
Alcatraz 1:
I am not a good person.
Oh, I know what the stories say about me. They call me Oculator Dramatus, Hero, Savior of the Twelve Kingdoms. . . . Those, however, are just rumors. Some are exaggerations; many are outright lies. The truth is far less impressive.
Alcatraz 2:
I am a liar.
I realize that you may not believe this. In fact, hope that you don't. Not only would that make the statement particularly ironic, but it means you have very far to fall.
The part of them both being hero's that everyone counts apon but is afraid they'll fail them and both calling themselves liers. I wonder if that's a connection.
