spiringvenus 's review for:

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

3.5

---

The last 20% of the book was so good, but the first 80% was slow. Only 3 stars because it’s too slow to want to re-read it 

Things I liked:

1. Examining belief and religious structures - Sazed has some really thought provoking musings 
2. A flawed but powerful FMC 
3. The magic system is so flawlessly is implemented 
4. Thinking about being a Kandra 
5. Tindywll - alone with with Sazed 

Things I don’t like:

1. The political intrigues are entertaining, but only up to a point 
2. Breeze’s relationship with the young girl 
3. The pacing was just too slow at first
