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.

Editor's Pick

This made me appreciate having super powers
"Even with his debut novel, Sanderson knew what he was doing when it came to world-building. The concept is so fascinating: a city of leper-like people who are cursed with no power to heal from any injury. Unlike a lot of fantasy novels out there, this story is about overcoming adversity with a truly major handicap. It really made me appreciate the abilities I have as an able-bodied human. I mean, in a way, isn’t the ability to heal a really cool power that we all have?"

I really loved the story that revolved around a widow princess, lost prince and faithless priest-- All who demonstrate the will to change and be changed in order to bring the tale to a compelling end. The voiced pacing was a little slow for me in the beginning but it grew on me and I appreciated the talent with which the story was read.

Great characters, engaging story, satisfying end

I'm a big Sanderson fan especially the stormlight archive! I just wanted to say that sandersons writing has gone from great to amazing. The narrator on this was mediocre. Many other narrators add so much to the reading. This is just a flat and uninspiring rendition with few exceptions.

Great first novel

It's hard to dislike anything Sanderson writes, and this is no exception. Also, adding the "deleted scenes" at the end was an unexpected joy. I own Elantris in paperback and still had to get the audio book so I could listen on the go.
