Complex characters are fun, right? It's interesting to discuss the intricacies of a character's beliefs and actions, and determine what we think of them in the end. I think we can all agree, though - don't serial-kill. That's bad.

Next week - Chapters 46-54

So, uh. Is this the same book that we've been reading? There's some sort of murder-cult going on? Let's try to deal with this, if we can.

Next week - Chapters 36-45

Look, it's quite simple: Spirit, who is really Raoden (whose name means spirit) is in New Elantris (in Elantris) drawing the Aon Aon. Nothing to it.

Y'know what, you don't get a descriptive newspost for today. I'm too distracted by an incredibly tense Cubs game. See you next week?

Finally, we don't have 24 new characters to deal with. That means it's time to get way off the rails and talk about poorly-timed promotional campaigns - I mean it's time to buckle down and make some predictions on where this book is headed.

Next week - Chapters 19-22

This week: some surprisingly early payoffs for plot predictions we had, as well as a section that we all actually agree we Don't Like.

There are a lot of new characters in these chapters. To try to deal with this, we attempt to go on a small tangent. This goes about as well as you'd expect.

Look, you don't need to name the sticks. This is definitely one of those colloquial phrases that everyone says, and not just a thing we spontaneously said during this episode.

We're back, and we won't shut up. Kicking off our first episode of Elantris with actual reading that was done, and we definitely dove into things headfirst. Listen along as we meet our three new viewpoint characters and try to keep up with a veritable avalanche of new vocabulary.

Now this is a weird feeling - we find ourselves on a completely new planet, elsewhere in the Cosmere. It's time for Elantris, and that means we need to take a close look at just what we're about to get ourselves into.
