A review by zenandroid
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

Well thought out stuff.

I absolutely enjoyed and adored the fights, the solution Vin found, that Zane battle though.

THE ABSOLUTE DELICIOUSNESS OF HARD MAGIC SYSTEMS.

The Vin/Elend romance in this is much better and more founded than the first book (which is normal, given that most of the book is based on it)

We continue discovering new stuff about the world too.
The kandra, the koloss, the nobility, Terrismen ...
and the prophecies.

The well of ascension held some humongous amount of power, seeing what happened to it left me feeling disappointed but satisfied (what?) (i mean disappointed but not in a plot-related way, more like this was inevitable kind-of-way -AKA makes sense story-wise but still RIP-
Also i liked the Elend learning to be King part of the plot (low key was reminded of Elhokar, but Elend is not HALF as incompetent as Elhokar (not that hard; Elhokar is a dimwit))
Vin is BAD-ASS.

But the ending makes me wonder if she did not just screw up everything, wonder how that last development will be resolved, and cant wait to read the third book as i hear it is an extremely satisfying ending.


Still cant believe i've read this in 5 days.
