this book had a serious pacing issue!! war strategy for 40% of the book is not for me!! also where are the women!! the ending pissed me off!!
ok some positives- very unique magic system, love how we got to explore that more, pretty great action scenes when we actually HAD them omg, Vin is a badass and i liked her povs the best
deaths of some of the side characters were way too sudden it was literally like *chop* he’s gone and bam fade to black for this guy… where was the build up?? and the fact that they sent elend and vin out of the city only for them to come right back pissed me awfffff bc that felt so pointless…

BOOK REVIEW!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
(Book Two of the Original Mistborn trilogy)(Cosmere)
5 out of 5 stars
"A part of Vin itched to do it; if only to be doing something other than waiting and talking. She was not a person meant to be besieged."
Reading Dates:
February 20, 2023 - May 8, 2023
*Read my first review for any plot details.*
Unlike most sequel, The Well of Ascension does not suffer from "The Sequel Syndrome". The novel continues to be action-packed, cinematic, and fascinating with an even deeper world building than the first novel. The character work just keeps getting better.
Brandon Sanderson's writing is just as beautiful and fun as his previous novels. The world building for the Cosmere is a fun addition to this already great trilogy.
