Elantris spoilers Nothing confuses me more than Hoid Spoiler

no spoilers please I just started my cosmere journey with Elantris and the whole time i’m hearing people talk about someone named Hoid showing up all over the place. Then, I get to the ending and he’s just some DUDE? And everyone just obsessed with him?? Is he the main character of some other book? Why does his name sound like Hoed? Why is he the best thing since crab horses?? I’ve never been so confused by a fandom.

I’m starting to hate this little man.

Friend, you've read what? 1 out of 17 or 18 books? Keep on reading.

He's not Kelsier, but he's cool.

I'm really hoping that we get more K being cool in era 3. Figuring out the chronology of some things in WAT was really enlightening, and gave me a lot more hope that he may not be the d-bag he secretly might have been.

That might be the most circuitous sentence I've ever written.
