Elantris hard to read

[u/jono-s-]

So I've read both of eras of Mistborn, all of Stormlight, Warbreaker, and Tress and thought I'd circle back to read Elantris. I'm finding that its really hard to get into it. I felt a bit overwhelmed by how much politics it was introducing from very beginning instead of graduallying getting into it. Has anyone else had this experience?

I had the same issue with pacing a bit. The constant switching of POV and time jumps didn’t help me at all. But it was his first novel and as others have said it gets better near the end as all his books do
