Typos thread [Secret History Spoilers]

[Oudeis he/him]

Y'know what, I totally know where I got confused. The knife didn't seem able to pass through the tree on the Ire journey before they got to Scadrial, but that wasn't a misty cognitive aspect of a tree from the Physical Realm, that was a tree growing natively in the Cognitive Realm way out in "space". Considering that Hoid needed a trick to treat the ground like ground at the Perpendicularity, you're right. Actual mist walls... Kelsier would have had more trouble getting the knife to cut a wall, rather than pass through it.

 

Mea culpa!

Yep, you've got it. No worries.

Part 4, chapter 4 (Page 81 in the nook version supposedly) has the following: "As if he could harm even me"

I'm not positive but it seems like "harm even" should be "even harm".

I think that ones intentional. Preservation couldn't harm, per his mandate, even to achieve a positive result, and that extended even to his direct and worst enemy. Hence "harm even me".

Ah okay that makes sense. For some reason I just couldn't make sense of it.

At the other end, he saw the glow bits of metal, though he couldn't figure out what they were.

Pretty sure this should be glowing instead of glow.

New typo I spotted in the Well of Ascension.  Posted to Reddit originally, but I can't post links here as a new-member.

Quote

"He snatched the villager as the man ran passed, then .."

Obviously "passed" -> "past".

So this isn’t exactly a typo, but a timeline issue. 

I was recently rereading WoA, and it’s mentioned several times that it’s been over a year since Kelsier’s death. Later on they pass the second anniversary of his death. But in SH Kelsier states multiple times that he spent a year in the Well, when WoA timeline would indicate that he actually spent two years there.

Someone may have pointed this out already, in which case I apologize for the bother.

1708: "Kelsier crossed the misty field outside Fadrex, then lingered out here alone" I'm not certain, but I think that might be meant to be "out there".

Possible continuity issue at the same location as this post. (MSH Part 6 Ch. 2 - line 80 in the epub editor)

Quote

“Yes,” Preservation said, his voice frail, tiny. “See.”

  Something appeared in Kelsier’s mind, a sequence of images: Inquisitors listening with heads raised toward Ruin’s voice. Vin in the creature’s shadow. A man he didn’t know sitting on a burning throne and watching Luthadel, a twisted smile on his lips.

This takes place in the aftermath of Yomen's attack on the Koloss (HoA Ch 37), and he sees a vision of Penrod; but Marsh doesn't spike Penrod until HoA Ch 42. . .

Passed is correct; as the adjective form of Pass (to pass) and has the definition:

passed (not comparable) -That has passed beyond a certain point 

Past is a reference in time: "Adj.: Of a period of time: having just gone by"
