Brandon Sanderson Synopsis: Elantris was the beautiful capital of Arelon, populated by benevolent beings who used magic to benefit one and all. Each one of these beings was once a regular person who was then touched by the transforming power called the Shaod. Then, a decade ago, the power failed and the Elantrians became powerless creatures and the city went dark and began to crumble. Arelon’s new capital is Kae, which lies in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Saene arrives to marry Crown Prince Raoden, hoping to find love. Instead she finds the Prince dead and she is considered his widow. Now, she must use her newfound status in order to push back Hrathen, who wants to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and god.

i agree! This was so difficult, I had given up! I’m grateful now to see the order, but which would a reader who is very specific on reading these books in order prefer to read them? As, it is a gift, do I go by the publication date order? or the chronological order is preferable to a reader? Please, offer a suggestion anyone. Thank you!
This is driving me nuts. I’ve gone through like 10 pages worth of google search results just trying to find a simple list of Brandon Sanderson books in the order they were published. How can it be this complicated?
The Perfect State is not listed.
It is now. Thanks!
