In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Tor is reissuing Elantris in a special edition, a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad readers who have since become Sanderson fans.

This new edition begins with a preface by author Dan Wells, the first person to read the completed novel, and a new afterword by Sanderson explaining how he came to write the book and its place in the Cosmere, the unified universe of all his Tor novels.

Also included is an expanded version of the "Ars Arcanum" appendix, with more of the technical details of the book's magic that fans can never get enough of.

Elantris was truly a milestone both for Sanderson and for the genre of epic fantasy. It deserves this special treatment, something Tor has done only once before, with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Sanderson fans old and new will be excited to discover it.

Alles in einem Buch

5 stars

Mir hat es wirklich gut gefallen. Was sonst über mehrere/viele Bände ausgewalzt wird (nicht, dass ich da grundsätzlich was gegen hätte; an der Wheel of Time Reihe hab ich z.B. 15 Jahre gesessen), passt hier in ein Buch, ohne dass es sich verkürzt oder schlecht ausgearbeitet anfühlen würde.

Besonders nett fand ich in der Jubiläumsausgabe, dass auch ein paar Kapitel im Anhang waren, die in der finalen Fassung nicht mehr enthalten sind inkl. Kommentaren des Autors.

Aber insbesondere bemerkenswert finde ich, dass Sanderson auch hier ein komplettes Magie-System am Start hat, so wie auch z.B. in Mistborn oder Stormlight Archive, aber eben wieder signifikant anders. Und das, obwohl die Magie hier auf der Welt "kaputt" ist. Apropos Welt, es gibt schon Referenzen auf andere Welten seines Cosmere-Universums. Ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt, wie tief und weit man imaginäre Welten ausarbeiten kann.

Great adventure.

5 stars

Really surprising book. It may not get a lot of headlines vs Sandersons other books, but should. One of his best.

Review of 'Elantris' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"Elantris" me ha dejado una impresión duradera. Me cautivó el rico escenario creado por Sanderson, donde los detalles sobre los distintos reinos, facciones y grupos religiosos se presentan de manera puntual pero continua. Agradezco que el autor no dedique largas descripciones a estos aspectos, sino que los introduzca naturalmente a través de los diálogos entre los personajes.

Review of 'Elantris' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Top notch fantasy that does things I haven't seen in the genre before! I really like the way Sanderson integrates the cultures and histories of the story's world into the actual story and characters instead of just explaining them. I also really enjoyed and appreciated the way he handed the in-world religions! It was really interesting to see them fight together and play out their apparently rich history. I wish there was more in this series so I could learn more about the finer details of the world!
