Elantris

While this is Brando Sando's first published novel (it does show in a couple of spots). Overall, it is very good. Great character study--you get a feel for even the minor characters and their goals and aspirations. A nice mix of religion, politics, and a dash of magic thrown--and the begininngs of the cosmere as well. Took awhile to read, because I did the audio book, so was only doing 20 minutes or so at a time on the way to and from work. The pace of the book was good, and he tied up the story's multiple threads at the end very well.

4 Stars.
