The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

4.0

The second book in the Mistborn series. This book is much more political than the first, but I love that. It slows down in the middle, but damn does it pick up in the last 100 pages or so! The groundwork for the third book is obvious, so I guess I have to finish the trilogy now. 
The good things: great world building, superbly written action, engaging plot. The magic system continues to intrigue and fascinate me. 
The not so good things; sometimes clunky writing, awkward dialogue, runs slow in places. Wish there were more female characters with deeper development.
