Good story overall, but I'm not big on the sanitization of horror and folklore tropes, but Briggs's touch is light enough for the series to be enjoyable despite her artistic license.

Huge in Scope
4 stars
Elantris has all the hallmarks of a story that is part of a greater whole. Sanderson's signature method of weaving Mormon themes of self-reliance and a touch of Mary Sue-esque qualities in his main characters are present, but not to the point of intrusiveness. Overall, a good introduction to Sanderson's writing style. I would definitely recommend this to fantasy fans.
