darkmoods Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hello, quick question that bothers me. I'm listening to the audiobooks and have not read the books themselves. Do the readers know who the narrator is in Book 3 or is the audiobook giving us more clues than we should have? In the audiobook, it's obviously Sazed that is reading those tidbits at the start of the various chapters, which brings me to guess that he is going to become some sort of god, either Preservation itself or some sort of new entity that will absorb/imprison Ruin. I feel like I shouldn't be able to make this kind of guesses, am I right ? Are they anonymous in the physical book or are they signed Sazed or whatever name he has after his transformation from human to godhood ? I'm at the point in the book where Vin got transferred to a cell under Yomen. thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmoods Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 but how is the text framed in the book? I'm guessing it's not like block of text then under it -Sazed. are those quotes signed ? thanks for taking the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 its been a while but I don't remember there being any indication that sazed wrote those chapter begginings. Course I never read those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not signed and don't look at @Aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 It's not supposed to be clear that it's Sazed. You're supposed to think it's Vin writing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP has already decided and for themselves deduced the source of the epigraphs. They are only asking if the book was as obvious. I will tag the OP so they may confirm or deny @darkmoods could you please clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmoods Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Sorry, I did not mean to cause any trouble. The way they made the audiobooks, it is obviously sazed talking. I had a hunch that was giving me way more information than I should have and it was bothering me very early on in the 3rd book. I am still not sure what this tells me but I think I would have preferred to have it anonymous and guess it was vin talking and then have the reveal later. You guys have not spoiled anything I didn't guess from knowing it was sazed talking. I think it's a mistake on the audiobook production part, although idk how they could have done it otherwise. Maybe give him a new voice after his ordeal (still not sure how he is transformed to have all that knowledge of both Gods and the beginning of the world/humans but I'm sure he's changed). Elend pretty much has a new voice with his new authority; sazed could have changed too. Oh well. Thanks everyone for taking the time. I binged listen today and I have about 5h left. Talk to you soon!

No problem. Glad it all got clarified. That is a point regarding voice actors. I would agree and say that a different voice actor should have been used so not to be as obvious, but then again the tone of the written epigraphs was written with the intention to sound like him to provide that hint. Just unfortunately having the same exact voice might have made that hint a bit too obvious. Either way, glad you are enjoying the books all the same!

But you can figure it out as the author’s voice is very present. It’s far more obvious than the first epigraph in TFE, which reveals the identity of the HoA - but only in reread (though you CAN catch it before.)
