Elantris: A Cosmere Novel (Cosmere Universe)

by Brandon Sanderson

Elantris was built on magic and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade and Elantris began to rot. And now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium motivated by dogged religious views. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris, rediscover the lost magic and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots?

Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start.

I absolutely loved this book, Sanderson did a wonderful job creating a world and giving it the magic to have depth and a certain realism. If you love fantasy then you should definitely read this book. It's rich, not overly descriptive yet it has enough to make you feel as if this place could exist. The characters are bold and have true personalities that will make you hate/love/adore/pity them.
