Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
4.0

What a book! I’m reading Elantris, Sanderson’s debut, after having already read a lot of his later work. You can tell that his writing gas improved and matured but in now way diminishes the strength of this first novel. I found Elantris fascinating and especially loved the political intrigue and intricate role of religion in this world. I can’t believe it took me this long to read this! There’s also something very satisfying about having the story and world contained in a single book, as opposed to say the Stormlight Archives, that I enjoyed and seeing him pull everything together was great. Elantris is truly epic and every detail is important.
