I’m so angry at Sarene right now. For all her supposed cleverness, she only sees her own hurt while condemning Raodens actions. Raoden lives in Elantris and has knowledge while she only let her seon spy inside sometimes and then she just automatically assumes that she knows all there is to Elantris/Elantrians????
on the other hand, what happened to Hrathen and why did it take him?

the romantic notions between Sarene and Raoden are a bit much… his only wish to have in Elantris are her letters and her main motivation to leave Teod is because men there did not want an intellectual wife?? I just don’t care for the characters romantic relationships, because there are more impressive plots at play. Saying that: Hrathren plays a dangerous game and I want to know more about Dakhor…

Hrathen seems to be a complex character. His religious beliefs and behavior (right now) are awful, but he is thoughtful and has a morality and therefore some redeeming qualities. And even his behavior isn’t as foul as a war that Wyrn plans. I’m excited to see where he will end up.
The story as such is rather slow and I want to see more of the magic of Elantris.

so far I like Elantris and I really like that we see some events from all our POV characters, but I’m not sure if I like the characters yet. I like Sarene sometimes, when she is in a verbal battle with other people but some of her thoughts make her seem like a “not like other girls”- girl. Raodan seems to be a perfect hero archetype, but I enjoy his chapters and seeing more of Elantris.
