Statistical Analysis of Aether of Night


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

After seeing @Elegy inspiring post on the statistical analysis of White Sand Prose, I decided i would do the same thing for AoN.

Ive modeled the charts after the ones Elegy provided.

and will be putting the chapter by chapter in a spoiler tag because of its length

i wanted to also do one for Mistborn Prime, but its told entirely in the PoV of its main character, so there’s no point

i didnt count the introduction by brandon at the beginning, chapter headings, etc... so its a few thousand words shorter than the full document

Enioy!

p.s. i refer to chapter 29 as “chapter 28” because there is no chapter 28

its also interesting to note that even though Darro only got less than 4,000 words told through his PoV throughout the novel, Brandon loved his character enough to make him a transplant character in Nightblood(whenever it comes out)

Well it is Brandon's brother's insert into the Cosmere:

Brandon Sanderson

[Aether of Night] is two halves of good books, kind of shuffled together. Half of this good book and half of this good book shuffled together. The Shakespearean farce, which is fun and, kind of silly, and this guy who's in not in a position to lead... and the deep worldbuilding war novel with the cosmere magic. And it's like, "We're going to shuffle these together and see how it turns out."

Questioner

I loved it. I thought it was good.

Brandon Sanderson

And my brother's cameo is in this book. Darro is named after my brother, Jordo.

Beautiful! I love statistics ^_^

I took the formating from the Coppermind's Statistical Analysis pages (but left out the chapter percentages, since I felt they didn't say all that much). Judging from the pages' histories, I believe the user to establish this was @cem, so that's where the model and the idea come from!

I think @Honorless also wanted to see this

Ill have Way of Kings Primes uploaded in an hour or so:lol:

Awesome!

Now that this ball is rolling, I think I'll upload a "whole canonical Cosmere" statistical analysis in the next days.

Thanks for pinging me! Good work, @Eternal Khol!

Oh wow, the whole Cosmere? Looking forward to it! Hmm... pretty sure Kaladin has the highest word count of all so far

Laene is in your chapter by chapter analysis, but doesn't seem to be in your unique PoV breakdown.
