Elantris

From now on, I won't listen to the masses when it comes to Sanderson. I've waited too long to read Brandon's first published novel and now I'm hitting myself in the face for taking my time. Elantris matches up there with Warbreaker as one of my all time favorite books.

I see now why most people say this is the weakest of Sanderson novels, for its magic system is at a minimal stage, as that's one of his biggest factors as an author. Although, my biggest concern for any genre fiction novel is the characters, and holy Domi, Elantris has some of best around. This book isn't about the magic, for its magical without it. This type of success is what aspiring authors should aiming for when submitting to agents and editors.

Elantris will always ring in my head when I think of creativity.
