Elantris

Spoiler-free review
Characters: Interesting personalities with distinguishable voices. A lot of meaningful internal struggle that makes them relatable and inclines you to consider what you would do in a similar situation. They were also smart (for the most part).
Plot: The story focuses on the mystery surrounding Elantris - the events from the past that led to its current state and what caused those events. All this unravels while we follow the POV of multiple characters, who struggle to deal with the situation they've been thrown in; loss, pain and desperation.
What I liked: The plot of the book was truly intriguing. It kept me on my toes and made me anxious to turn to the next page and find out what happens next. The main characters were complex but ultimately good people, which is more and more rare these days.
What I didn't like: Maybe a bit more time could've been spent on the ending. The female main character's personality was a bit frustrating to read from.

Would I recommend> Absolutely. I am happy I read the book and would be happy to read an eventual sequel.
