Wow! What a rollercoaster. This definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I found it difficult to put down and I wouldn't have had it not been for the responsibility of caring for my newborn

I had heard that Elantris was one of Sanderson's weaker books, and while that may be true it is still a very good book that stands on its own.

This book was the first I read by Brandon Sanderson and I enjoyed it immensely. It kept me guessing the whole way through.
I enjoy this author's grappling with religion, politics and government all in a world so different from my own.
