Sanderson graduated from Brigham Young University. The media company, DMG Entertainment has rights to the production movie of the Cosmere universe series. He also made popular the terms "hard and soft magic systems" in his Sanderson's Laws of Magic. They include, the Mistborn series, and the Stormlight Archive, and also finishing The Wheel of Time, that was Robert Jordan's high fantasy novel (that he began writing before his untimely death). His best known works include Cosmere, a fictional universe in which most of his novels are set. Might I suggest listening to the book first? This story won't work at all for you if you haven't.Īmerican author, Brandon Sanderson, writes of epic fantasy and science fiction. Either way, if you haven't listened to Elantris, this contains major spoilers. Some of you may find it interesting to read this ahead of time I put it in the annotation, however, as I know others would rather enjoy the story without bias beforehand, then read my thoughts afterward.

In the annotation, I've written a further explanation of why I wrote this piece. This story talks about one of those holes it is meant to be read after you've finished the novel and takes place during the events of the climax. In the back of my mind, I knew what happened. There were always a few holes in the manuscript where I decided not to include viewpoints or sections of explanation in the name of streamlining, particularly at the end. At that point, Elantris had only been out in stores for about seven or eight months, but I actually hadn't written anything new on the story or world since 2000, when I'd finished the first draft of the original book.

Notes From The Author: The following is a short story I wrote in the Elantris world back in January of 2006.
