Elantris - Blog Posts

I just started reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, and Sarene immediately reminded me of Eilonwy from The Chronicles of Prydain - similar looks, personality, and glowing orb companion.

I lied

I said I was going to continue with Sanderson, but I still need to buy the books.

I am used to read on the train on the way to uni.

I started reading Shogun.

Elantris thoughts

I finally finished reading elantris

(I finally finished a book?!)

(AAAAAA!)

These are the things that I loved about it!

Pacing! It was quick, with the right amount of descriptions

Everything is explained in a logical way. For example the reason behind the dirt that is all over elantris, why the Aons do not work etc..

Seons. I don't know, I liked them. They are a fun concept to implement in a fantasy book.

Some characters like: Raoden, Hrathen and Roial

What I did not particularly like:

I think that it is a common thought that Sarene was too much a "not like other girls" girl. While all the other women were treated like powerless or incompetent just because they did more feminine activities

We were ROBBED of some scenes between Raoden and his old friends, like Lukel and Shunden.

I would have loved to have more lore on the other cultures like jindo and duladel

i would also have loved to have a more in depth description of the secondary characters, but I do realize that the book is already long.

Aiden?? I was very intrigued by his character and I think that the truth was a bit lost in the whole scene.

The end. Just wanted to tell somebody.

Final thoughts: I really liked it, I will proceed with other Sanderson books!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My odes to Brando Sando so far 🫡

Hrathen was a great character 😭

I just finished reading Elantris. I was afraid enough to read it, because it's Sandetrson's first book and I already read the Stormlight archive, but I'm happy I did it And, maybe, I'll finish this sketch, but i'm not sure. I don't like to draw armor xD
