This is definitely my least favorite book by Brandon Sanderson. I'm probably not going to read any of the others in the series, nor recommend this to anybody. I will stick with the Stormlight Archive instead.The premise was very interesting and the story was engaging enough to keep me interested, so...

Elantris -- Brandon Sanderson Book 1 of Elantris **Elantris is also part of The Cosmere universe where a select few of Brandon Sanderson's high fantasies take place. All of these books may not be interconnected, story-wise, but they all share a single creation myth and cosmology. (source: Goodread...

This man seems to be able to do no wrong with me. I can't even explain why I love everything he has written so much, but I think I am fangirling over him at this point. This was a beautiful book. It had a kind of power that I can't really explain. The characters were not all good or all bad, ther...

Sanderson ruminates too much and I just don't find the characters interesting at all. It would be unfair to think all his works are the same as this is his first book, pacing see...

Elantris is definitely one of those books in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As I'm sitting here, trying to think of ways to break this book down for my review, I find myself feeling almost lukewarm toward each particular element. The magical system involving runes is nothing ...

I am so torn on this book! There is so much to like, so many interesting ideas and characters. And then there's this one flaw that kept niggling away at me, that prevented me from really losing myself in this book, and I wanted to get lost here. It's frustrating! But I think this is an early book in...
