À propos de ce contenu audio

Elantris was built on magic, and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade, and Elantris began to rot. Now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots?

Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start.

La magie qui pendant des millénaires avait créé des dieux, s'est transformée en maladie pour des immortels.
Ce monde protégé par la magie, devient la cible d'un empereur voulant étendre son territoire et imposer sa religion.
Les malades sont enfermés dans la ville qui elle même se désintègre rapidement.
Le héro se retrouve du jour au lendemain, jeté dans la ville ghéto et essaie de comprendre les causes du mal.
A l'extérieure, un haut dignitaire religieux envoyé par l'empereur pour préparer l'invasion du pays, essaie de convertir la population à sa religion.

Cette histoire est originale, les personnages sont attachants et les rebondissements inattendus rendent l'écoute captivante.
Je recommande ce livre pour son histoire, ses personnages et pour les talents du lecteur.

Good plot, characters, narration. Some small plot holes are incongruities, and some characters voices could’ve been a bit more distinct, but the overall enjoyment more than makes up for it. 

All-around enjoyable and not cliché

It's interesting to read this first work and realise how far Brandon's storytelling ability has come. It's a good story but not great like some of his later books. I enjoyed the mystery of this book but found the pacing problematic. It was very slow in some areas and then extremely rapid towards the end. It was a shame not to have left a little more time to explore the potential of what was discovered at the end.

The characters were interesting but not multidimensional enough in terms of personality. The main character overly optimistic throughout and one had guy too simplistically evil. The character Galladon was annoying because of his constant use of the words kolo and sule. It would have been funny as a temporary thing but because he's so present throughout the story and says the words so much it gets old fast.

The voice actor was a bad choice. Whenever he was narrating it sounded like the kind of upbeat weird pacing of an advertisement voiceover. His voices for certain characters was good but many others really bad. I felt he also got many emotions wrong while he was doing voices, often sounding far too upbeat. His narration really spoiled the story for me personally and I'd recommend you just read the book instead.

Not as good as later works but still worth reading
