It was initially released as an e-book for sale on Amazon and eventually released on Brandon Sanderson's own [https://www.brandonsanderson.com/the-hope-of-elantris/ website]. The annotations can be found [https://wob.coppermind.net/events/140-the-hope-of-elantris-annotations/ here]. ItThe book is set in the world of [[Elantris (book)\|Elantris]] occurring at the same time as certain events in the book but centers on different characters. Brandon Sanderson commented, "If you haven't read the novel Elantris, this contains major spoilers. Might I suggest reading the book first? This story won't work at all for you if you haven't."{{bws ref\|the-hope-of-elantris\|The Hope of Elantris\|date=2006-01}} == Summary == {{for\|Summary: The Hope of Elantris\|a more thorough summary}} After Elantris' restoration [[Raoden]] sits alone in his palace noting the city's new found wealth. [[Ashe]], [[Sarene]]'s [[seon]], floats in through an open window to inform Raoden his wife will not be attending their dinner, because she is pregnant and "it's his fault." Raoden settles in to listening to Ashe's testament to his whereabouts during the last hours before Elantris' restoration. == Main Characters == ; [[Ashe]]: A seon bonded to Sarene, they inform Raoden of Sarene's pregnancy. ; [[Raoden]]: The king of Elantris and Arelon, he sits alone in his palace while waiting for his wife Sarene. ; [[Matisse]]: An Elantrian who looks after the children of [[New Elantris]]. ; [[Dashe]]: Second in command to [[Karata]], he helps Matisse keep the children of New Elantris safe. ; [[Mareshe]]: A craftsman who was the first person Raoden helped save. ; [[Taid]]: The adult supervisor of the [[Roost]] in New Elantris. == Development == Brandon got the idea to write this story in January 2006, as he was dating his wife Emily. Emily mentions one of her eighth grade students has done a book report on [[Elantris (book)\|Elantris]]. Matisse, the student, had done an outstanding job on her book report. There were detailed bios of the characters and even some materials you would find in the book. Brandon was moved by her report and wrote this companion story, with Matisse’s name as the lead character in honor to her. When Brandon and Emily were married, Matisse gave the book report to Brandon as a wedding gift.{{bws ref\|annotation-elantris-the-hope-of-elantris\|Annotation Elantris - The Hope Of Elantris\|date=2006-01}} == Cover Gallery == {{for\|/Covers\|a cover gallery for The Hope of Elantris\|Covers}} == Statistical Analysis == {{for\|/Statistical analysis\|a full statistical analysis}} ''The Hope of Elantris'' consists of an intro and outro from the PoV of Raoden, while the remainder is written from the PoV of Matisse. {\|class="wikitable" \|- !
