I finished Elantris by Brandon Sanderson today. There is a lot to like in it, and for grimdark fans there is a lot of political intrigue, complex villains with understandable motivations and some pretty dark themes of slavery, genocide with long sections of the book characterised by living with despair. That said, there is light in the book so I'm not really sure how 'grimdark' this is.
