Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
I really enjoyed Elantris. I thought Brandon Sanderson did a great job of not giving away too much too early. I was constantly guessing and trying to figure out what was going to happen.
For most of the book, the point-of-view switches between three characters–Raoden, Sarene, and Hrathen. I thought the change in point-of-view between these characters made the story very interesting. I liked being able to see all aspects of the story, and at the same time still trying to put all the pieces together while the story unfolded.
From the very first page, I wanted to know what was going on. I wanted to know why Elantris, once the city of the gods, was now the city of the damned. I wanted to know how Raoden’s, Sarene’s, and Hrathen’s stories would come together. I also love that Elantris is a stand-alone book, but with enough left unsaid for a possible sequel.
