jackalest 's review for:

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
4.5
adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In the preface, Sanderson notes the pacing issues his original manuscript had. He may have improved upon it, but the pacing issues were very prevalent in the last 1/3 of the book. It left me a little wanting, it negatively impacted the emotional arc for me, but did not take away from the heart of the book, which was still wonderful and deeply affecting.
