ELANTRIS WAS A PLACE OF GLORY

The capital of Arelon, the home to people transformed into magic-using demigods by the Shaod.

But then the magic failed, Elantris started to rot, and its inhabitants turned into powerless wrecks.

And in the new capital, Kae, close enough to Elantris for everyone to be reminded of what they have lost, a princess arrives. Sarene is to be married to unite Teod and Arelon against the religious imperialists of Fjordell. But she is told that Raoden, her husband to be, is dead.

Determined to carry on the fight for Teod and Arelon's freedom, Sarene clashes with the high priest Hrathen. If Hrathen can persuade the populace to convert, Fjordell will reign supreme.

But there are secrets in Elantris, the dead and the ruined may yet have a role to play in this new world. Magic lives.

We've actually decided to postpone this one.


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments I won't be able to get hold of the book from the library until Tuesday (27th) so fingers crossed I'll still be able to finish it by the end of the month! It's gonna take some serious reading xD


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
I'm not reading it yet xD who knows


Grace  =^_^= Hey guys. This is my first Sanderson novel. Really eager to know why ppl love his work.
I'm a little intimidated by the page count and hope I can finish by the end of the month.
I've read 9 chapters so far. It's interesting, but I am finding the names and concepts a bit challenging to grasp so far.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
who knows when I'll read it


Grace  =^_^= finished Ch. 23 (view spoiler)


Grace  =^_^= Ch. 41 (view spoiler)


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
Wow you're on a roll.


Grace  =^_^= lol. I'm surprised at my pace, too.

Ch. 55 to the end: (view spoiler)

I liked it! Hope you enjoy it too once you read it.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
Yeah I will xD maybe may


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments I'm gonna join in with this one a lot later than I thought :) Might do a slow read through a couple weeks.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
Yeah I'll join in a lot later than I thought too. Probably not even this month XD We'll stay in touch Skye? As we both need the double points for the challenge XD

Of course, although let's be real, your team is already going to win xD It's literally the dream team! My team may already be down a member, so hopefully we'll get a replacement.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
XD You never know what might happen! Cinthia's vacation ended a few days ago, so she won't be reading as much. Neither will Shae for the same reason. Andrea has exams and stuff later in the month, not too sure about Velina and Kelly. I know I'll still be going strong though :p

✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments Maddison wrote: "it good?" YES I love it, but Sanderson is my favourite author so I was always going to like it xD


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
Haha that's good. I'm 20% into final empire and it's so good

I love that one too! Elantris is my 18th Sanderson book xD The Stormlight Archive is my favourite series ever. If you want to carry on the Mistborn series, let me know when you get to book 3 and I'll BR them with you from there if you like.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod

Slowly but surely! Wish I was reading it with you because it's a good pace XD


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments It's so good xD it's really picked up now so I'll probably sprint through this last part!


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments Page 502 (view spoiler)


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
Awesome! Did you want to sprint? XD


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments Maddison wrote: "Awesome! Did you want to sprint? XD"

Oops, didn't see this xD


✨Skye✨ | 3107 comments Done! Another brilliant Sanderson book, and a brilliant ending.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53797 comments Mod
