Kveðja!
That's how you say hello in Old Norse. Vikings! :D
Anyways, I finished Elantris quite a while ago, but just got around to blogging, haha. The book that was at first simple, and somewhat boring, was ridiculously good by the end. Seriously, I couldn't put this book down. Every little mystery, every little question asked, even from page one, all came to an exciting conclusion that was surprisingly... well, conclusional, for lack of a better word. Everything was wrapped up nicely.
While I can't say much without giving the ending away, I will say that Sanderson's trend of super fast-paced plot has yet to get old. The end was a veritable firecracker of excitement and action. All the secrets are revealed, all the questions answered, and every character renewed. It was very satisfying to see everything finish with a bang, yet still give closure. Though there were tons of plot twists, ridiculous revelations, and one very unnecessary death, Elantris ended up being one of the best books I've ever read. I strongly suggest it to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy story!
So... yeah, I guess. Again, I really don't want to give away anything of the plot, and trust me, there's a lot to give away. So, well, enjoy the warm weather, and see you all on Wednesday!
I feel I have read your greeting before, but I don't remember where...
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, glad you enjoyed Elantris! It sounds like a great read. I always like it when the conclusion is satisfying - really, the end of a book may be the most important part, no? Beowulf took a tragic turn... alas, oh well.
Yeah, I love the warm weather!
