Sinossi
Elantris, la città degli dèi. Abitata da creature di una bellezza splendente, è un luogo di fulgore e magia. Un luogo di felicità eterna. Ma all'improvviso quell'eternità ha fine. Elantris diventa un luogo di tetra disperazione: i suoi abitanti, colpiti da un'orrenda maledizione, diventano misere creature i cui corpi hanno dimenticato di essere morti e la città diventa la loro tomba. E quella maledizione può colpire chiunque: anche Raoden, il principe ereditario del regno di Arelon. All'insaputa di tutti, il giovane viene rinchiuso tra le mura di Elantris, dove sarà costretto a fare i conti con una civiltà imbarbarita. Agli occhi del mondo lui è morto, anche per Sarene, la principessa che si preparava a diventare sua sposa, sperando, dopo una lunga corrispondenza, di trovare l'amore oltre le ragioni di Stato. Dovrà affrontare da sola gli intrighi di corte di Arelon e una nuova minaccia rappresentata da Hrathen, un alto sacerdote giunto dal regno ostile di Fjorden: è venuto per redimere Arelon o per distruggerla? Né Sarene né Hrathen sanno la verità su Raoden, ma forse sarà proprio lui a svelare il segreto dietro la maledizione di Elantris e a dare un nuovo futuro al suo regno.

To be fair, I was warned going in that this was Sanderson’s first novel. Maybe because of this it is not his best. Also, I should not judge everything by this book and, as a result, not want to read more of his books. So, my review of this book may be a little harsh, but there is no reason to lose h Leggi tutto
3.5/5 Stars Exactly 3 months ago, I finished binge reading the two available books in the Stormlight Archive series, Brandon Sanderson’s magnum opus and my favorite series of all time. By that time, I already caught up to all Sanderson’s Cosmere works (excluding novellas) except his debut work, Elant Leggi tutto
4.31!“Remember, the past need not become our future as well.” Brandons debut novel is one of the best fantasies out there. I am just amazed to read a debut novel with this unique of a concept, I agree the prose is a little hard to read because its not at the level of his other book but still I ap Leggi tutto
Oh my God this is so contrary to my usual love of shorter novels. Okay so I knew that I had missed something in my review pot, I just realized now that I had missed this book. But there is a Persian saying that says "the fish is fresh whenever you catch it from the water", so let's go with that. This Leggi tutto
I'll have to think about how to review this but for now... wow! Sanderson does it again!
when i asked john for book recommendations, his list included ‘everything by brandon sanderson.’ apparently ‘everything’ is not an actual book title, but meant everything sanderson has ever written. so i decided to start at the beginning with his debut novel and, i have to say, i am pretty dang impr Leggi tutto
"I’ve only been a duke for ten years." If it hadn’t been for the recommendations I had received to commence the Sanderson voyage with Mistborn, Elantris would have been my entry point to Cosmere. I had been confused as to why one should skip over the book that had been released at first, to work Leggi tutto
Re-discovering Brandon Sanderson was one of my best decisions this year. Elantris is undoubtedly a wonderful debut , paving the path for marvelous fantasy adventures. And even though it's probably Sanderson's weakest work , you can't help but feel awed before his ingenuity and the masterful way he navi Leggi tutto
