4.0

Coming off of reading the Mistborn trilogy, Elantris feels very different. This book feels a bit less polished compared to the other Sanderson books I’ve read. However I did really enjoy this book! The first half is pretty slow and is mostly political intrigue. The last ~150 pages take a real left turn and it gets pretty dark at the end. The last section of the book definitely felt rushed but it was really good!
