This was a tough book to rate, and I considered giving it a 5 for quite a while before deciding on a 4. Perhaps the only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that it wasn't quite as good as Mistborn, and the conclusion was a little confusing (in regards to the Aons). It was a very interesting and well written book, however, and it is a testament to Sanderson's natural writing ability that this was his debut novel. The only issue I had with this book was that I read Mistborn first, so I was always comparing the two. The books seemed to me to be remarkably similar in a number of ways. Serene seemed like a less fully realized version of Vin, and Sanderson's focus on religion was also similar in Elantris (despite being more important to Elantris' plot than to Mistborn's). Many of the characters were interesting, but his revelations and descriptions of events were also not as good as in Mistborn. In other words, I would have thought the novel phenomenal, had I not already read the full Mistborn series. So for anyone who liked Mistborn even a little, this book is a MUST. Don't pass it up because I say you it wasn't as good, because you'd really be missing out. Should have been a 3.5 star rating but I do know this Sanderson’s first novel (or one of) and the writing is not as great as his later works. What pushed it to a 4 was how the story wrapped up and the world building. The pace was a little slow and all of the political lost me here and there. Overall, I’m happy I finally read it.
The author's skill at turning conventional fantasy on its head produces a tale filled with surprising twists and turns and a conclusion both satisfying and original. A cut above the same-old, but hardly a classic. A surprisingly satisfying, single-volume epic fantasy that invokes a complex, vibrant world. The intrigue and excitement grow steadily in this smoothly written, perfectly balanced narrative; by the end readers won't want to put it down. This a book that if you haven't read already, it should be high up on your list of books to read next. While the steep learning curve and the slow pacing can be a little frustrating at times, the compelling characters and the intriguing mysteries make it so hard to put this book down.
