A review by erickibler4
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
I got most of the way through this book about eight years ago and didn’t like it. Now, after reading all of Sanderson’s extant Stormlight Archive books, and his three-volume finish to the Wheel of Time series, I decided to give Mistborn another go.
It’s hard to write about a city under siege and make it interesting. By the very nature of a siege, not much is happening. That may be what soured me on this book before. But when things start happening, as they do when you near the end of the book, much tedium is forgiven. It’s a rousing finish which opens up enough new mysteries to make you want to tear into the third book of the trilogy.
