Elantris

Elantris was chosen by me based on the length. I wanted value for my money and I don't mind fantasy especially when it ends in one book. This one has very good reviews and I had already purchased one series on Kindle by this writer. In the end I was very happy with this good natured novel.

Elantris is a city that used to be filled with superior humans graced with powers due to an energy force coming into them. It used to be a place where people are healed, there is food for everyone, protection against enemies (fascist country that wants to invade everywhere, the tool they use is religion).

As we start the book some fault in the energy and people who are chosen by this energy turn into some sort of living dead with many physical and mental obstacles to their well being. Elantris is in ruins and a place of exile.

We have three main characters a prince who is taken by a curse and exiled to Elantris, a princess who was going to marry the said prince but found that he is dead (a trick by the king in order to hide the princes' true condition) and a priest sent to the country to convert the people into the religion promoted by the fascist country (who will invade and massacre them if they do not convert).

The events properly escalate and with the reader Jack Garret's very good performance this ended up a happy purchase.
