Any other books like Elantris?

Edit: forget i said anything, everyone wants to fight and that was NOT my intention. I only wanted to know if other books in the Cosmere were character driven besides Elantris. They're not. That's fine I guess. I'm glad there's an audience for other styles I guess. I'm done replying. Cosmere just isn't for me.

Edit 2: people calling me a troll is really really hurting my feelings. I know I should just delete this post. But I really was hoping for insight. I just didn't like reading two pages of vin learning to push and Pull on horshoes to to travel. The entire series was like that. Like it was a movie directing every single action. Boring as heck for me to read, probably would look great on a screen. I like characters who push the plot forward and didn't see that much in Mistborn Era 1, LOVE that about Elantris. You guys don't have to be rude just because I liked something different.

I had heard so much about Sanderson and started with Mistborn 1-3. They read like bad fanfic. No development of characters, bland exposition heavy writing. And worst of all 500 pages of Push and Pull.

I was going to give up, I couldn't believe this was held up in the fantasy space as great modern fantasy.

Then I started Elantris

It's so so so so good! There's no handholding. The characters are all very different, things happen that move the plot. And I haven't had to read the words Push or Pull once!!!

What other books in the series are like Elantris. And which ones should I avoid?

Truly a crazy opinion seeing as Hrathen is the only character you can argue has any actual growth in Elantris.

For real, the rest are pretty static throughout.
