In this story we got to see the marvels of echoland and its amazing features. We also got a brief glimpse into Olám Shonè. Of the two lands which would you like to explore and why?

Olám Shonè is my choice due to their set of morals. If there is another book, I will like to know more about that world.

I would prefer Echoland. If I could stay away from the fate sealers and fortune tellers, it would probably be really fun. :D :D

Yes, Olám Shoné holds a lot of promise as a free land for all races, Echoes, Sounds or both.

The varieties of pets in Echoland, along with the idea of adventuring through it is quite enticing. Avoiding the Fate Sealers would be the main issue along with any deranged Echo.

Echoland, for sure! It just seems like a more adventurous place.

It also holds the most danger with Fate Sealers lurking everywhere.

Echoland seems like a bit of a dystopia, honestly, if you consider the Fate Sealers and Fortune Tellers. Of course, things will likely change with William as king, so I wouldn't mind visiting the place after things calm down. Still, Olám Shonè is the clear winner for me since you get to interact with Echoes without any looming threats or ridiculous laws.

I think I would choose Olam Shone; I would not want to be near any of those Fate Sealers!

After William makes changes as King, Echoland would offer the most adventures of the two lands, just as you said.

Olám Shoné is an amazing land that is free of Fate Sealers and open to outsiders. In that regard, it is the land I would prefer to venture into.

Olám Shoné is a great land, but if Wolfeá could come and leave as she pleased, why couldn't Fate Sealers?

I would have to say Olam Shone. Echoland would be too dangerous for my taste!

Olám Shoné seems quite ideal but Echoland sounds infinitely more fun, given the adventures that could be had there and the sheer variety of things it has to offer.

The door is not supposed to open if there is a fate sealer or fortune teller near so they technically cannot come and go as they please. You also need an Echo and his sound ×2 to open the door and have a safe passage. I think it is safe to say a Fate sealers Sound would not willingly hang out together! Haha
