Description

In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Tor is reissuing Elantris in a special edition, a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad readers who have since become Sanderson fans.

This new edition begins with a preface by author Dan Wells, the first person to read the completed novel, and a new afterword by Sanderson explaining how he came to write the book and its place in the Cosmere, the unified universe of all his Tor novels.

Also included is an expanded version of the "Ars Arcanum" appendix, with more of the technical details of the book's magic that fans can never get enough of.

Elantris was truly a milestone both for Sanderson and for the genre of epic fantasy. It deserves this special treatment, something Tor has done only once before, with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Sanderson fans old and new will be excited to discover it.

    The world is vibrant, the characters deep and real and the magic unique and exceptional! All the pieces for a truly compelling fantasy story and Sanderson delivers it all with aplomb! I truly loved this story and this world, I can only hope to read more of Galladon.

    Loved this story. Though it is obvious this is Sanderson's first work it is also fantastically executed and all the characters stand out as unique and interesting. I'll definitely read it again someday!
  • Good tale

    Multi threaded and intriguing, lacks some of the edginess of the authors later works, but I throughly enjoyed it.
  • Solid book, not as good as his later work

    It was his first book and he admits it had some areas that needed improvement. Very slow for a lot of the middle but the end is good. Still worth a read but not his best work.
  • Loved it!

    Couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it. And have read it at least once I year since I first bought it ages ago
