Brandon Sanderson / Re: Belated Congratulations on Elantris
« on: January 24, 2007, 04:04:30 AM »
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.

      I'm new, both to these forums and to the author.  I have just over 100 pages left and have arrived at that inevitable place in a great book where one dreads the finish.  Just wanted to express my appreciation for the author's courage in sharing his gift.  I know from experience how daunting it can be to stand naked before an unknown audience and sing from your soul.  Many thanks and much encouragement.  I will purchase Mistborn next and try to catch up on Warbreaker.  Oh, and hello to all the great fans here, I hope to be a regular.
