Tolle Ergänzung zu ELANTRIS
Spannend, episch, actionreich ... und viel zu Kurz. So ist es einfach ein netter Epilog zu ELANTRIS. Aber meiner Meinung nach, hätte man hier sogar noch h weitererzählen können.
2.5 stars. I knew of the postsript before reading this novella and, with all honesty, that influenced my rating positively by half star. I found totally cool what Brandon did. The novella per se was barely interesting to me. I was not interested in Matisse, the main character, nor the children. In my experience, I have noticed that novellas work for me if the characters are already introduced in a "canon" book and I had the time to get a connection with those characters. Novellas are in general too short for me to grow fond of new characters. I was expecting more a short anedcote focused on Sarene, Raodem and Ashe in New Elantris. However, it was nice to go back to elantris even for a few pages after so many years I have read the book. I noticed I also like its magic system with seons resembling somehow sprens of the stormlight archive. I hope we can come back to Elantris soon.
Story-wise it might be a 3.5 because it wasn't as polished as I've come to expect from Brandon Sanderson - but his annotations made me tear up :) so the last 0.5 is for emotional value
