A review by pa11av
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

Clearly, a much better story than the first book. Really ups the ante and spikes the thrills. The mystery of the Well of Ascension is solved layer by layer in this book. The character of Vin goes through the perils of a relationship with all its ups and downs. And Sanderson does a masterful job of capturing the confusion and longing that two people in a relationship can feel. Just for that alone the book deserves five stars. Other five star attributes of this book are the characters, they feel real and that's saying a lot. Their struggles and their problems feel like your own and there is a sense of gravitas about the characters that is wonderful and beautiful.

And to top it all off, there are the Mistborn sequences when Vin and others go full Mistborn and it's a joy to read the descriptions of the fights.

Onward to book 2, The Hero of Ages!
