Elantris [Dramatized Adaptation] (2 Parts) #2
Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Author's Definitive Edition (Part 2 of 2) (Dramatized Adaptation): Elantris
In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. Graphic Audio is reissuing Elantris in a completely new audiobook production, a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad listeners who have since become Sanderson fans. This new version is re-recorded with a larger cast of actors, new sound effects, and new music scoring!
This edition begins with a preface by author Dan Wells, the first person to read the completed novel, and a new afterword by Sanderson explaining how he came to write the book and its place in the Cosmere, the unified universe of all his Tor novels.
Elantris was truly a milestone both for Sanderson and for the genre of epic fantasy. It deserves this special treatment. Sanderson fans old and new will be excited to discover it!
Once the godlike rulers of the capital of Arelon, the inhabitans of Elantris have been imprisoned within themselves, unable to die after the city's magic failed years ago. But when a new prince falls victim to the curse, he refuses to accept his fate.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music!

About the author
Brandon Sanderson
396 books284k followersI’m Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers.
The release of Wind and Truth in December 2024—the fifth and final book in the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series—marks a significant milestone for me. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it’s the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be. Now is a great time to get into the Stormlight Archive since the first arc, which begins with Way of Kings, is complete.
During our crowdfunding campaign for the leatherbound edition of Words of Radiance, I announced a fifth Secret Project called Isles of the Emberdark, which came out in the summer of 2025. Coming December 2025 is Tailored Realities, my non-Cosmere short story collection featuring the new novella Moment Zero.
Defiant, the fourth and final volume of the series that started with Skyward in 2018, came out in November 2023, capping an already book-filled year that saw the releases of all four Secret Projects: Tress of the Emerald Sea, The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and The Sunlit Man. These four books were all initially offered to backers of the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time.
November 2022 saw the release of The Lost Metal, the seventh volume in the Mistborn saga, and the final volume of the Mistborn Era Two featuring Wax & Wayne. Now that the first arc of the Stormlight Archive is wrapped up, I’ve started writing the third era of Mistborn in 2025.
Most readers have noticed that my adult fantasy novels are in a connected universe called the Cosmere. This includes The Stormlight Archive, both Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, four of the five Secret Projects, and various novellas, including The Emperor’s Soul, which won a Hugo Award in 2013. In November 2016 all of the existing Cosmere short fiction was released in one volume called Arcanum Unbounded. If you’ve read all of my adult fantasy novels and want to see some behind-the-scenes information, that collection is a must-read.
I also have three YA series: The Rithmatist (currently at one book), The Reckoners (a trilogy beginning with Steelheart), and Skyward. For young readers I also have my humorous series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians, which had its final book, Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians, released in 2022. Many of my adult readers enjoy all of those books as well, and many of my YA readers enjoy my adult books, usually starting with Mistborn.
Additionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side. These include the three stories in Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. These two novellas are also featured in 2025’s Tailored Realities. There’s a lot of material to go around!
Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart, The Emperor’s Soul, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you’re already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings.
I was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan’s notes.

So 👏 Freaking 👏 Good 👏
Brandon Sanderson knows how to make an amazing fantasy world, that's for sure. He also knows how to kill off my favorite characters, but whatever I guess. His romance could use a little work, but I guess I'll just have to commit to reading his other incredibly long series to find out if it improved. Ah I just became a Brandon Sanderson girl... What did I get myself into..

This was my first Brandon Sanderson book, which I actually listened to in the graphicaudio 10th anniversary version. The first Graphicaudio Version was divided into three parts, whereas this one has only two parts. The first part is quite long, which was nice, as the audiobooks are expensive but for sure the price is worth this book.
This book is no romantasy. I like the heroin, as she is a clever and strong woman in a society where woman should be seen but not heard. She brings a breath of fresh air to this society.
I have trouble to describe the story, as telling to much will just take away from the reading experience. I'm just going to say that I loved the story. And I will read more Brandon Sanderson books in the future.
