But I found that the characters were wonderful and complex and I didn’t question their decisions for a second. I figured that it wouldn’t come close to Sanderson’s Warbreaker or any in the Stormlight series. I set myself up to be utterly disappointed by this one. I disagree on all three of those opinions. The most common opinion seems to be that it’s Sanderson’s weakest work, the pacing is terrible, and the characters are flat. Pete: This was one of those books that I had heard a ton about before reading-both good and bad. This standalone fantasy epic is Brandon Sanderson’s first published novel. And Hrathen is a priest from a powerful empire who must convert the people of Kae to save them from his empire’s armies. Sarene is a princess whose soon-t0-be husband has died-or banished. Raoden is a prince who has been recently taken by the curse of Elantris. Elantrians wielded incredible powers-but ten years ago, their powers vanished and became a curse so horrific that the rest of the world banished the Elantrians to their once gleaming city. The cursed city of Elantris once belonged to the gods. Rating: Pete’s: 4.5 out of 5 stars Indiana’s: Re-readability: This one is definitely worth revisiting, especially with its connections to the rest of the Cosmere Everyone’s convinced that their lives are over just because their hearts stopped beating.” ~Brandon Sanderson, Elantris
