Elantris
By Brandon Sanderson
- Release Date: 2007-04-01
- Genre: Epic Fantasy
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.

5By HisMajestyClayLoved 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
4By jwellingtonbMulti 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
4By Shiva champIt 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!
