Summary

The city of the gods. Elantris once stood as the symbol of all that is beautiful. A sprawling metropolis of unrivaled grandeur, it was a symbol of power and strength, built to be as imposing as it was magnificent.

The only thing more glorious than the city itself was its inhabitants, Godlike beings, with silvery skin and hair of the purest, flowing white. Able to create powerful magics with a mere wave of their hands, the Elantrians were able to heal mortal wounds and create any object they desired. To be an Elantrian was to be without sickness, without pain and without want.

And anyone could become a god. Through a process known as the "Shaod",a normal person could go to bed one night and awake the next morning to throw away the shackles of mortality and become a being of incomparable power and grace. With Elantris as their beacon, the light inside all humanity was allowed to shine, elevating it to new heights.

But Elantris fell...10years ago.

Outstanding!

This Graphic Audio production really enhances the experience of listening to this story. I hope Audible makes more of these productions available through its service. On to part 2!

background audio louder than dialog

background audio was often louder than dialog, or sometimes a part of the dialog would be very quiet as if "far away".

Sound effects drown out dialogue

It’s an interesting approach to an audiobook. I enjoyed the separate voice actors and some of the music and effects. But it was mostly hard to hear what way spoken because of the loud effects
