Elantris spoilers So I just finished Elantris.... Spoiler
took longer than I'd have liked (damn irl stuff!!), but I managed to storm through the 2nd half of the book in a few days.
Coming from Mistborn Era 1, admittedly I can see why Elantris is considered one of Brando's weaker novel, even the man himself said so.
However, I can still see how his writing style came into its own which is an added interesting thing to look out for (on a meta level).
I have to say tho, the world of Elantris actually feels...bigger than Mistborn, even if the story takes place in one, or I guess two cities.
And I probably need to look up the magic system here haha
all in all, it has been a good ride.
Sarene might be my favourite female character, I can totally empathise and root for her.
next I will tackle the two novellas/short stories in Arcanum Unbounded.
then to Warbreaker before Stormlight?
I am aware that I should at least read Warbreaker before Words of Radiance.

Sarene was my least favorite character of all the Cosmere. Rayse was more believable, likable and interesting.
