Olam shone would be my pick. It seems much safer and serene

Does safety really come into account when William is the King?

If he keeps his word and abolishes the fate sealers and fortune tellers then yes.

The book had a fairytale feel, so I think the author would keep it that way. I mean will and peter almost died 2 or 3 times each and valerie appeared to die too, just for them to miraculously be healed and go on with their happy little lives

Echoland had that fairytale feel if you ignored the Fate Sealers. I would hope it would have a peaceful period in William's reign.

Olám Shoné is a great land, but if Wolfeá could come and leave as she pleased, why couldn't Fate Sealers?
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
All these requirements make it near impossible to visit Olám Shoné, this makes Echoland the better choice.

Or one could argue it makes olam shone the better choice because selection to get in is limited! It also means that if an Echo is not willing to work with his Sound they are not able to get in which would keep those who do not want to live in peace and harmony out ;)

For me, Olam Shone represents Heaven and Echoland represents living on Earth. Olam Shone is peace, love, harmony, and acceptance. Echoland can be a fun and neat place to live or extremely dangerous. Another correlation between Echoland and Earth is the constant surveillance. I believe I would want to live in Olam Shone and view Echoland from a distance.

The downside to Olam Shone is the severe restrictions pertaining to ACCESS.

I would probably want to go to Olám Shonè. Olám Shonè is definitely the more morally righteous of the two. I just wouldn't want to go through all the perils and obstacles Will and his echo had to go through trying to get there.

In Echoland, Sounds are hard to find especially one's own Sound...especially if Fate Sealers are bent on killing them.

Ecoland would be a challenging place because of fortune tellers and fate sealers. Still, my choice would be for the Ecoland, for sure.

Echoland seemed a bit chilly for me with all its snow heaps and icicles. Olam Shone was really hard to get into but I liked their morals. Seems like a friendlier place.

Olam Shone, while being preferable, is nearly impossible to enter. Sounds rarely fare well in Echoland.
