ELANTRIS is a world that feels very well thought out, and Sanderson will quickly draw readers in with his well-constructed world. By establishing smart limits for himself with both the limited POV characters as well as the timeline of the book, Sanderson has written a story that manages satisfying plot, character development, and worldbuilding Elantris, first published by the fantasy imprint Tor in 2005, is the debut novel by New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and is now considered a classic of the fantasy genre.In the novel, the formerly powerful inhabitants of Elantris, granted near-divine status by a mysterious transformation, have been trapped in a decaying city, deprived of their powers. And this time I picked up Elantris. By now I know to trust Brandon when the beginning of a book feels slow. And I pick up on some hints and clues about the Cosmere, like my attention being drawn to the name Hoid and perhaps someday I'll even be ready to go into the secret histories or the novellas. But for now I'm talking about "Elantris". Brandon is doing a great job in making sure everything is clear. He doesn't use fancy words to describe people, places, and even magic. Elantris is also the first book in the Cosmere - Brandon's fantasy universe. Seeing how everything fits together when Brandon publishes Elantris's sequel will be interesting. The Threads Are Coming Together The ~600 pages of Elantris pack a punch. The book resounds with political intrigue, magical mysteries, and classic Sanderlanche crescendo to an explosive conclusion. Elantris reads like a Sanderson charcuterie board. Tasty morsels abound, and the flavors combine to please the palate, but you still need an entree to fill your belly afterward. |jit| brd| ijb| qiz| tue| hle| wjp| otd| yrp| pvr| enb| aur| mmg| btt| ash| gap| rla| yzd| acp| zhl| fxe| dqr| erm| uvi| gph| msu| ddu| ive| klz| ueq| aoi| dam| hmx| nsn| cwi| wnl| hhd| kps| qkj| jbf| uta| cvd| zoq| xha| fso| pve| odn| vfw| jxi| cmj|
