Elantris thoughts

I finally finished reading elantris

(I finally finished a book?!)

(AAAAAA!)

These are the things that I loved about it!

Pacing! It was quick, with the right amount of descriptions

Everything is explained in a logical way. For example the reason behind the dirt that is all over elantris, why the Aons do not work etc..

Seons. I don't know, I liked them. They are a fun concept to implement in a fantasy book.

Some characters like: Raoden, Hrathen and Roial

What I did not particularly like:

I think that it is a common thought that Sarene was too much a "not like other girls" girl. While all the other women were treated like powerless or incompetent just because they did more feminine activities

We were ROBBED of some scenes between Raoden and his old friends, like Lukel and Shunden.

I would have loved to have more lore on the other cultures like jindo and duladel

i would also have loved to have a more in depth description of the secondary characters, but I do realize that the book is already long.

Aiden?? I was very intrigued by his character and I think that the truth was a bit lost in the whole scene.

The end. Just wanted to tell somebody.

Final thoughts: I really liked it, I will proceed with other Sanderson books!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, I thought my first Cosmere fanart was this sketch of Hrathen from 2015:

But then I remembered, it was this Kelsier I drew for a friend in 2011:

I can’t believe it’s been seven years… I also can’t believe that this is what I pictured Kelsier to look like. Dear past me, this is not what an almost 40 years old with a hardness in his eyes is supposed to look like.

I ALSO REALIZED JUST NOW THAT FORGOT THE SCARS ON HIS ARMS WHICH ARE IN FACT THE MOST IMPORTANT OF HIS FEATURES askjhddsjkfs

Hey folks, how about this? Reblog this post (or just use [first cosmere art] tag), paste your first Cosmere fan art (or any early piece perhaps no one has ever seen) and share your feelings. It can be any kind of art, or even shitty sketches found in your textbook, as long as it was drawn/made by you =)

So let’s begin! I am not sure if any of you would like to play this, but thanks anyway!
