F/SF Should have been a 3.5 star rating but I do know this Sanderson’s first novel (or one of) and the writing is not as great as his later works. What pushed it to a 4 was how the story wrapped up and the world building. The pace was a little slow and all of the political lost me here and there. Overall, I’m happy I finally read it. “love is independent of time” Sanderson strikes again, and I’m constantly amazed. I will admit that it took me quite a while to get into this book, but the effort was worth it. This story will stick with me for quite a while. There’s something about the way Sanderson’s worlds and characters are so easy to believe are real that is almost unfair.
The author's skill at turning conventional fantasy on its head produces a tale filled with surprising twists and turns and a conclusion both satisfying and original. A cut above the same-old, but hardly a classic. A surprisingly satisfying, single-volume epic fantasy that invokes a complex, vibrant world. The intrigue and excitement grow steadily in this smoothly written, perfectly balanced narrative; by the end readers won't want to put it down. This a book that if you haven't read already, it should be high up on your list of books to read next. While the steep learning curve and the slow pacing can be a little frustrating at times, the compelling characters and the intriguing mysteries make it so hard to put this book down.
Fantasy.
Fiction.
HTML: 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 the first book appearance of the short story "The Hope of Elantris," revealing interesting action referred to late in the novel, and 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. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
