The city of the gods. Elantris once stood as the symbol of all that is beautiful. A sprawling metropolis of unrivaled grandeur, it was a symbol of power and strength, built to be as imposing as it was magnificent.

The only thing more glorious than the city itself was its inhabitants, godlike beings, with silvery skin and hair of the purest, flowing white. Able to create powerful magics with a mere wave of their hands, the Elantrians were able to heal mortal wounds and create any object they desired. To be an Elantrian was to be without sickness, without pain, and without want.

And anyone could become a god. Through a process known as the "Shaod", a normal person could go to bed one night and awake the next morning to throw away the shackles of mortality and become a being of incomparable power and grace. With Elantris as their beacon, the light inside all humanity was allowed to shine, elevating it to new heights.

But Elantris fell...10 years ago.

absolutely amazing

This was such an amazing audiobook!! highly recommend this!! and the cast was top notch!

the story

For an early Sanderson novel this is well done. The performance is great as always from DA. excited for sequels

Interesting and entertaining

I started reading the physical book Elantris and found the unusual names disrupted a smooth reading experience. I found the graphic audio version and the high quality production with sound effects, different voices and background music really brought the story to life. Political intrigue, romance, and action contained within the story made for an engaging experience. Highly recommended!

the dramatization was great

took too long to get to the point. Story was lacking. Bandin needed another book to properly end the story.

One of my favorite books

I have read this book multiple times and never get tired of it, so when I saw that a dramatized version was available , I had to give it a try. Excellent work by the voice actors!

Realistic

Wonderfully performed. I enjoyed the characterization. The idea of a godly city condemned was a great idea.

Superb performance and story

I usually don't like dramatizations, but this one was captivating. I didn't feel like I missed anything, and I enjoyed every bit.
Amazing work!

Love this

I wish audible and graphic audio got along better, these are beautiful to listen too, and incredibly affordable!

Great performance.

Sanderson even says this is his weakest, but it is also his first book. I listened for more Cosmere and wasn’t disappointed. Many things could have just been done better overall.

Phenomenal!!!

I am not sure why this work gets so much hate. I loved this! I love the characters and the politics and religion. I’m obsessed! I admit it’s a little confusing to start, and the magic system was really hard to understand - but it wasn’t until later that I realized it was supposed to be. I loved Mistborn and I had heard this story would be harder to get into, but in some ways I may like it more. The ending, though, is not satisfying. I do wish for a sequel. It doesn’t feel over.
