A review by ambarbaq
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

3.0

This was my first real dive into a Sanderson book, after like three failed attempts at reading Mistborn. I really enjoyed it. It does feel like a prototype, being his first published book and having now read a lot more by him you can really see concepts that would evolve in his later novels. The book itself is alright, very Sanderson, witty characters that are never actually witty we’re just told they’re supposed to be, a very intriguing (if over explained) magic system, great climactic action… I’d write more but I am like 2 years removed from when I read it
