Raoden truly is born a leader. I am reading the part where he tried to recruit new people to his side and asked them what they are good at doing. And he is so positive even though he is taken by the shaod. Everyone around him has more or less given up on living, but he tried to instill positive changes in others. He takes risk even though he might be attacked by the other two leaders in elantris. I find myself really rooting for him.

Yes, Raoden is very awesome indeed. I actually really enjoyed Elantris, mainly because of Raoden.

Thank you for sharing this, it is a hidden gem of a book, and does not get the love it deserves!

He really does have main character energy, doesn't he?

It does help that he's a prince so he probably had good tutors on helping him with leadership traits.

He's totally one of my "book boyfriends."

But also
he wasn't a prince his whole life, so not sure about the tutors. His Dad being a bad king was a good example of what NOT to do for sure.
