I continue to love this reread of the (original) Mistborn trilogy.

I have once again taken very important notes.
 Mentions of cocked eyebrows: 22 (4 more than book one! And there was a record of THREE on one page lol)

Brandson Sanderson has an immense storytelling gift which is quite evident within these pages.
Even though I did not like THE WELL OF ASCENSION as much as I did MISTBORN, I liked it a great deal.
There were moments that did not engage me much, mostly the beginning, but when it engaged my mind it ENGAGED. Events occurred, characters changed...stuff just blew my mind away. Sanderson kept me guessing and wondering. I would think I had a handle on something only to be stunned by revelations. This book was worth every minute I spent reading. This series is rocking my reading world.
And this, folks, are my concise thoughts. I will expand them at a later date.
