Sarene: Well, my husband's apparently dead, so I have nothing to do. Time to troll people in power.
Ashe: Please don't troll the King, my lady.
Sarene: Of course not.
Ashe: Oh thank goodness
Sarene: That would be too easy. Now, that religious crusader with the armor, psychopathic sidekick, and massive army of priests… he might be fun to play with
Ashe: Oh sweet merciful Domi why
*meanwhile in zombieland*
Raoden: I am going to cure everyone's depression using shoes and history books
Galladon: Pretty sure that hasn't ever worked
Raoden: Of course it hasn't worked, it hasn't been done by ME yet.
I love Elantris so much. The rest of the Cosmere gives us complex backstories and traumas seasoned with snark and philosophy and epic magic systems. Elantris is just two separated soulmates who decided to punch fate in the face because they felt like it. Simple, but delicious.

You don't chase a rogue spectre across the galaxy for several months to save intelligent life from the apocalypse without realizing a few things about yourself along the way.
I tried to experiment with my style with this comic. Please forgive the sketchiness. I'm trying to make less important comics faster.

Reading Elantris and its interesting how Brandon wrote Sarene as very “not like other girls” and dismisses the other women of the court as bumbling idiots, but in mistborn he defies the same cliche with Vin slowly realising she should not underestimate or look down upon the women around her and even comes to accept her own femininity.
I don’t know I think its cool how Brandon rectifies this sort of trope in his writing after one book.

Talking to friends who are playing ME for the first time and I found out Kai Leng is supposed to be the opposite of Shepard, " But isn`t that just Saren`s role tho?"
So have a Saren in Kai Leng outfit doodle

I read Elantris for the first time this year and because of all the discourse online I was preparing myself for the Worst Cosmere Book. So imagine my surprise when I absolutely loved it.
Yes, I loved Hrathen, one of Sanderson's best characters for sure. But what about Sarene??? She does suffer from a little of the 'not like other girls' syndrome, but otherwise she's such a great character! She is cunning, smart, strong and compationate. I loved the scene in the library where she's studying politics from the old books in Elantris. You can definitly see that she will become a great queen.
And Raoden. Wonderful, optimistic Raoden. I remember telling someone that I loved reading his chapters and they told me that Raoden was a Gary Sue. Which... sure, I can see that, and he definitely got away with some pretty horrible things (i.e. getting Shaor killed, lying to Sarene about his identity). But reading his parts made me feel so much hope! After the emotional turmoil that was reading Stormlight last year, reading about someone who's life was ruined trying to make the best out of his situation and while also helping other people in his position felt so good!
I agree that Elantris has its faults. But overall it was such a pleasant read. And I needed to read a book like this at the time. People need to be nicer to Elantris.
