Well, you’ll just have to read on, won’t you.The place to discuss all the aspects of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere- the shared universe where most of his novels take place. Who will end up as king? Will Arelon get invaded? Can anything be done to save the Elantrians? Raoden also deals with the ‘call’ of the Dor inside himself during this section, overcoming that particular conflict.Įssentially, everything is resolved in this section except for the really big questions. I named this one ‘Call’ because of the way Hrathen and Sarene both end up getting tossed into the city, then end up using that event to their advantage. I liked ‘Shadow’ and ‘Spirit’ a lot, and I knew that I had to use something parallel. It now reads “So much for avoiding a bloody revolution.” It gets across the same ruefulness as before, without being as flippant.Īlso, ‘The Call of Elantris’-the name of Part Two-is probably the weakest of my three sub-titles. However, I went ahead and changed the line. He was still hoping to control the man, and having Telrii on the throne and amiable to Hrathen would have been a much better outcome, since it would leave Hrathen looking less powerless before Wyrn. I think Hrathen would see Telrii’s death as a wasted investment. Moshe had a point, though I did disagree a bit. All in all, a lot of annoying people are dead. On top of that, Roial-the main rival for the throne-is dead. Telrii, a man who had been giving Hrathen serious troubles, and Eondel, one of his main enemies, had just killed each other. Second, he didn’t think that these events were actually bad for Hrathen. Originally, Hrathen thought to himself “Well, this isn’t good.” However, Moshe disagreed with that line. I worked for a while on the last line of Part Two.

A lot is happening now, so I hope that it’s hard for you to get to these annotations-I want you to keep reading the book! You can always re-read it a second time, and look through the annotations then. I like how removing the Mad Prince from the book streamlined the pacing, and I think it pushes quite well to the final section.

There were some very good moments in this part. I told you the book would speed up as it approached the ending.
