Negative Positive
Title: Great Debut Novel
Review: Elantris tells the story of a fallen city where the inhabitants were once beautiful and possessed magical abilities. The city and the inhabitants fall from glory when the Elantrian people lose their magical abilities, their skin turns a hideous color with dark patches and any wound the receive will never heal. Elantris is a very well written novel, and is a very enjoyable read. It is filled with politics, action, and some great new ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but was somewhat disappointed in the ending. I kept expecting an awesome revelation about what caused Elantris to fall- with all of the the scheming and such taking place, I was hoping for something more interesting than what was presented in the book. That is my only complaint against an otherwise great novel. Definitely pick it up.
