Tee-hee. Found one. And I'm only on chapter 4.

Page 48, where Raoden says "Why the compromise?" Raoden asked. "If Shaor's men are as uncontrollable you imply,..." Hahah.

Here's maybe two.

On page 63 it says, "You have a Seon!" Daorn exclaimed with amazement. For once his sister seemed too stunned to speak.

Now who is it that's thinking that exactly? That line confused me.

Turn the page, to 64, and we've got, "horrible things to throw upon a nation that had still hadn't recovered from..."

That's kind of awkward wording, no? I'm so upset that I'm being so picky... Curse this!

From Heather:

Quote

pg. 55, bottom half of page: "You, know, I've never been able to figure out how you Seons manage sounds like that," Sarene said. (delete extra comma after 'You')

pg. 89, last paragraph at bottom of page: Once, Seons had been unaffected by the Shoad--but that had changed with the fall of Elantris. (Shaod is misspelled)

pg. 423, bottom half of the page: Voices called from the other room, and Spirit winked at her, his eyes twinkling. "We need to go back in. "But . . . let's just say I have something else I need to tell you... (delete extra quote mark before 'But')

Just in case no one's pointed it out and it can be fixed in later editions,
there's a typo on page 336, line 10: "You now what the Jindos..."

Hi Everyone  :)(I'm still reading the book and noticed the following typo last night)

On page 279 (lines 1 and 2) it says: "Who, capable of marvelous wonders, would be willing to trade them for the simple life of a famer?"

I am assuming you meant "farmer".

But a famer sounds so much more interesting :)
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

A famer is like a spin doctor. He gets fame for other people, but none for himself. Who wants that when you can BE the celebrity?

Celebrities get shot. True fact, I read it on the internets.

How many of the Internets.
