The plot was interesting, and kept my interest until the end. The foreshadowing was really subtle; I remember thinking early on: “Oh, something about that Mysterious Group is going to be what solves this Mysterious Happening that is central to the plot” and then completely forgetting about the Mysterious Group and being carried along by the story, until - ta-dah! - Mysterious Group pops up again, and lo, they do indeed partially explain the Mysterious Happening. I kept comparing it to other things (mostly LOTR and Stargate) but the comparisons weren’t in the vein of “look how this guy is ripping off episode 34!” but rather “it’s kind of like episode 34 where they do that thing, but not really.” Oh, so you want to know about the plot? Okay, here goes. Elantris is a magical city in the midst of a fairly normal world. The people who inhabit Elantris are super-human; they are smarter, stronger and faster than regular people and they look differently too, with white hair and glowing skin. But the Elantrians were originally regular people. They are transformed into Elantrians by an instantaneous process called the “Sheod” that strikes without warning, usually while the person is asleep. Elantris had been doing its magical-city-thing for a long while, then suddenly, the city stopped being magical. The Elantrians became crippled, pain-wracked beings who were a shadow of their former selves. And all the lands around fell into chaos. Ten years later, people are still being transformed, but it’s a terrible curse rather than a blessing. And when it happens to the beloved crown prince of the country of Arelon, then the story begins. The novel has a lot of fascinating plots. There’s the mystery (why did Elantris suddenly stop being so awesome?), and there’s political intrigue in the country of Arelon, some religious zealots who are trying to convert everybody, and a little bit of romance thrown in. But it’s not hard to keep straight, and it all ties up pretty neatly in the end, and not in that Deus Ex Machina so common in lesser stories. The one aspect about the book that I didn’t like was the languages. Sanderson came up with a lot of interesting names for places, people and magicks, but many of them are very similar sounding, and it’s easy to get confused, especially with the more minor characters. But this is really the only criticism that I can make. I can wholeheartedly recommend Elantris to you, especially if you like fantasy. Give it a try!
