there are some things which to me appeared cheesy and clichéd, but I won't comment on that because overall it doesn't really ruin the story. almost till near the end you are not going to get ACTION ACTION ACTION, but if you like politics in your book you will enjoy. the prince's plot follows him, trying to rebuild the dammed city into something more.
I will say that this is very political heavy book especially because we are following 3 different plots with 3 different characters, 2 of them, the one with the politician and priest are for the most part those two scheming plans to overthrow the king. Elantris is a city, where people are imprisoned if they get affected by the shayod (a certain kind of disease which in the very beginning our prince is also affected by and so becomes an Elantrian) and the same day when the king, his father "claims" he is dead both of our other protagonists arrive in the city and that's where the story kicks of. we follow 3 characters, all of which I really enjoyed:1)an ambitious priest who has secrets you can never imagine ( though I didn't really latch on to this character until the near end but later on he really crept on the top) 2)A twisty politician, with quiet many skills( however she IS afraid of heights) and a over the top positive prince who every one thinks is dead.
but what I can tell you is how good this book actually is, its gotta cool world and the plot normally focuses on a magic system that is not working. I know I know this is not the best Sanderson, its Mistborn, stormlight archive blah blah blah, well the truth is I can't really comment on that, because I my self have just started way of kings.
