Even more dangerous, and perhaps Arminger's most powerful weapon of all, is the ruthlessly cunning mind of his consort, Lady Sandra. With his dark fantasies of a neofeudal empire, Arminger has extended his power over much of the Pacific Northwest, spreading fear with his knights, castles, and holy inquisition. Together, they have held the Lord Protector, Norman Arminger - the warlord of Portland - at bay. And in the eastern half of the Willamette Valley, the Clan Mackenzie flourishes under the charismatic leadership of Juniper Mackenzie, bard and High Priestess. Under the strong hand of Michael Havel, the Bearkillers hold the lands west of Salem in peace and order. The city-state of Corvallis has preserved its university, and trade flourishes via riverboats and horse-drawn railways. In the 10th year of the Change, the survivors in western Oregon have learned how to live in a world without technology. ![]() ![]() Since Wait for You has a narrator I enjoy, it was really a no brainer. In fact, when one already knows the plot, it can be easier to focus on the narrator’s performance. And, to add to the experience, I also have the narrator’s interpretation of the characters to enhance the listening journey. It’s kind of like a little Easter Egg for me. ![]() I tend to skim when reading so, even when I have adored a book, there are little things I have missed when I turn to the audio version. ![]() Provided I’m confident in the narrator and I liked the book in print format, it is usually a success. ![]() I don’t often reread, but at times, I do listen to books I have already read. This can allow an opportunity to experience the story in a different way – to pick up nuances about the plot or characters which may have been missed in the rush to the finish. When one has already read a book (and can remember it – as was the case here) there is not, of course, the same tension and eagerness to find out what is going to happen. I first read Wait for Youin digital format last year but I enjoyed it so much I was happy for the opportunity to review the audio version. ![]() 5/8/2023 0 Comments Snapshot brandon sanderson![]() ![]() With no husband, Sarene throws herself into Arelene political life only to find King Iadon expects her to stay out of such matters. ![]() However she is suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his death. Under the conditions of their wedding contract, she must stay in Arelon. Meanwhile, Sarene arrives in Arelon to find the country in mourning for Prince Raoden. The third gang leader, Shaor, proves to be more difficult and his men's constant attacks are barely held off by the New Elantrians. In the process he converts Karata and Taan, two Elantrian gang leaders to his cause. He starts a new, more optimistic, society to help newcomers to Elantris. Galladon describes the terrible lives that Elantrians live but Raoden believes that there must be a better way. He is thrown into the city of Elantris where he befriends Galladon, a fellow Elantrian who is originally from Duladen. Raoden wakes up in the morning before Sarene's arrival to find that he has been taken by the Shaod. He is engaged to Princess Sarene of neighboring Teod with the hope that their marriage will strengthen ties between their countries in the face of external aggression from the Fjorden Empire from which Hrathen hails. Raoden is the crown prince of Arelon and is first in line to inherit the throne from his father, King Iadon. The events of Elantris take place predominantly in the country of Arelon from three separate points of view: Prince Raoden, Princess Sarene and Gyorn Hrathen.
