Elantris
Sanderson, Brandon
Language: English | Category: Novel (Fantasy & Sc. Fic.) | Audio Book: Not Available
Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling.
Elantris was very well received by both critics and readers. Orson Scott Card said, “Elantris is the finest novel of fantasy to be written in many years. Brandon Sanderson has created a truly original world of magic and intrigue, and with the rigor of the best science fiction writers he has made it real at every level.”

En él continúan las aventuras de Spensa Nightshade, la joven piloto que ha conseguido (More) un puesto en el escuadrón de defensa de la humanidad contra los ataques alienígenas.
En realidad, ella siempre quiso ser piloto: poder probar que es una heroína, como su padre. Aunque este llegara a lo más alto, los secretos que Spensa desenmascaró sobre él fueron aplastantes. Los rumores sobre su cobardía resultaron ciertos. Abandonó su vuelo durante la batalla contra los Krell. Peor aún… se volvió contra su equipo y los atacó. Sin embargo, Spensa está segura de que hay aún más por descubrir en esa historia. Y, si es necesario, viajará hasta el fin de la galaxia para salvar a la humanidad. |

Sanderson, Brandon - The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, 4) -
Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub
The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series and his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action, his ability to create vivid (More) characters made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic wheel of time sequence. But with Mistborn, his standalone fantasies and his new series, The Stormlight Archive, Sanderson has shown his bountiful talents in his own fiction. Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story set years after the events of Hero of Ages.
In a world recovering only slowly from evil, a world where allomancers wield immense power through their ability to unleash the magic bound up in common metals someone who can burn metals that no-one has burned before can tip the balance...
Sanderson has the knack of giving the epic fantasy reader exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre and the dramatic story within The Alloy of Law shows off this skill to its very best. |
