Elantris

My Rating: 5/5
Goodreads: 4.13

Yay! I'm finally writing about a book that's not a children's book. At all. But it's still pretty awesome. Every time I read this book I wish they would make it into a movie because there are so many great visuals that look great in my mind but would probably look even greater in a movie. Also, the three main characters are each so well rounded. Each of them seem like they could be a stereotype at first glance (the perfect prince, the stubbornly independent princess and the conflicted bad guy) but when you get deeper into their character you find that each of them is very human and as such is very complicated. And then there's the magic system. I can't say too much about that without giving away spoilers, but let's just say it's brilliant. It takes a while for it to be explained (although there are enough clues that a smart reader could start figuring it out earlier), but when it is explained it's rather epic. In fact, that's a great word to describe the entire novel. Epic. I also found its message(s) very inspiring, which all and all makes it totally unforgettable.
