Elantris Part 15 (Ch 53)

You read that right, folks- One chapter. In one hour. That's all we got through. We're splitting this recording into a two-parter. You can catch the second half next week when we go through Ch 54-57 on turbo speed with our special guest. In this episode, Candice and Chrissy have their 2nd guest of the show, their brother Sam! This brother has read the book and brings some hot takes to the pod and introduces a new game called "Is this bad writing?" where his answer is always yes. The book (and podcast) goes off the rails and turns into a spaceship as we close out Part 2 and begin Part 3. Sanderson takes a page from the Bookalicious play book and goes at warp speed starting at Ch 48 as he realizes his deadline is nigh. Similarly, we push through 6 chapters in one episode after Sam's best attempts to make us go faster. This leads to a never-before-heard part of the pod where anything goes, including Chrissy’s hair. Some topics discussed include: Why is Roial so ick, and does this explain why Raoden is into Grow up Skipper Sarene? What does Sanderson have against fat people? And, will our whiplash ever recover after reading Part 2? I would write a better description but, “It’s this cursed deadline! I don’t have time to finish my masterpiece!” Plankton's chum bucket telescope
