Swaindaddy,
I find some fault in your logic here. You say you had a problem with Elantris because it didn't focus enough on the main character, when in fact 99% of the book is written in the point of view of the three main characters. You then compare it to Wheel of Time, which has At least 7 main character viewpoints, and goes entire books where Rand is hardly mentioned. Even if WoT was primarily about Rand, and not the struggles of an entire land, your dislike of the main character not having enough viewpoints would still apply to WoT. I would be more inclined to believe that you are comparing a story written by an established and seasoned author (Robert Jordan) to a story written in college by an up and coming author (Brandon Sanderson). Please read Mistborn, you will see the marked improvement in Sanderson's writing. By the way, I loved Elantris, even with some of the flaws Brandon himself admits to. Nobody writes a masterpiece on their first try, but you can see the potential if you look for it. By the way, if I had the time, I would have written this post in Triad format, and given you the least amount of words, because I am a jerk like that.
