I wanted to read Elantris before Wind and Truth came out, just to get some more Cosmere under my belt. It was good, but it’s very obvious it was his first published book. Some of the writing is not great. I enjoyed the idea of knowing the magic exists, but not seeing it through most of the book because it was somehow broken. The world was interesting and I enjoyed most of the characters. The tenth anniversary edition also has a few deleted scenes in an afterward, which were interesting to read. It’s always cool to me getting to see earlier drafts and how a story changed through revisions.
