About this listen

Elantris was built on magic, and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade, and Elantris began to rot. Now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots?

Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start.

Great story and classic Sanderson. But, the narrator is not for me, he sounds like a gameshow host. Maybe the narrator needs to find the most important words a man can say.

Needs Kramer and Reading.

I can honestly say that is my favorite book - great characters, intriguing mysteries and thrilling a storyline!

A wonderful book

Would you listen to Elantris again? Why?

No, I would not. Not unless a new version was released with a better narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

A different narrator. He doesn't pronounce anything properly at all. The way he pronounces the "i" sound is annoying. "Merciful Domi" is an often used phrase and the narrator pronounces this as "doh-my" instead of "doh-mi". Plenty of other examples of poor narration but the above is said throughout the book and pops up nearly every chapter.

Any additional comments?

The Elantris story is great. The narrator is not.

Poor narration

I am a massive fan of the cosmere books. I've have worked through all of the mistborn and storm light archive books, as well as the short stories. This is my favourite book in the cosmere so far.

The best of the cosmere books

I could not stop listening to this book. It captivated me from the beginning right to the end. The narration left a little to be desired but in spite of this, I thoroughly enjoyed this imaginative fantasy.

Enjoyable fantasy.
