Brandon Sanderson / Re: Belated Congratulations on Elantris

I finished Elantris and will pick up Mistborn this week. I have a 13 year old son and am recommending Elantris to him after he finishes Eldest. I absolutely love the lesson in the evolution of the character Hrathen. It is difficult, as a parent, to teach a child in the christian faith without unintentionally indoctrinating religious bigotry. There are so few mainstream examples to draw upon which are not charged with blatant sectarian agendas. Your management of the Hrathen character allows us all to see ourselves reflected for better and worse. I hope my son is in a talkative mood when he finishes. Thanks again.
