Review number 2Having just finished re-reading the first ever stand alone Brandon Sanderson novel I ever read it struck me how my view of the book has changed. Of course I always knew it was likely to happen. As such because of the flaws (more noticeable a second time around) I have lowered the rati...

I knew beforehand that Elantris was one of Brandon Sanderson's earlier novels, but didn't find out until recently that it was actually his first. It's left me more impressed, though after reading this I could also see the many ways he has grown as a writer. Even then he was a master worldbuilder and...

Elantris was beautiful once.....Elantris and I really got along. I mean, I really expect a lot from my books. I need to enjoy the story, be intrigued by the plot, feel uplifted by the themes, bond with the characters, feel smarter at the end than I did at the beginning, and not be offended at the ...

An epic fantasy with a fresh take on god-like powers, Elantris by Brandon Sanderson tells the story of Sarene, a princess from a foreign land; Raodin, her deceased husband (whom she never met, and might not be very dead); and Hrathen, a priest of the church trying to take over Kae. I’m a huge fan of...

3.5 stars, at best. Compared to Mistborn trilogy this book is not nearly as impressive.

Oh, Elantris, why must you torture me so? Why must you force me into conflict with the library, my favorite supplier? They claim I owe them, and they aren't going to leave me alone. I'm afraid to go to the corner dropbox at night in case a librarian is lurking. I've stubbornly held onto their copy ...

Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my GIFTS AND GUILTY list.Regardless of how many books are alr...

By far one of the most creative books I've ever read. I read this book years ago but it still remains one of my favorites.

I may be being too generous giving this book 3 stars but after learning that this was the authors first published book, i think it was a fair enough effort. He obviously learned from this and worked on the issues before attempting Mistborn. The setting and magical system was great and earned the boo...
