I FINISHED THIS AGES AGO AND IT WAS AWESOME : here's my booktalk! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMeGD...
A relatively slow-paced book containing an utterly powerful climax sequence; a spectacular middle book for the Mistborn trilogy.When I first read The Well of Ascension, my experience dictated that I thoroughly loved it. It’s not until later I discovered that apparently, a lot of people found this book disappointing. Because of this, I was a bit scared that my reread experience would be ruined. Apparently, there’s nothing to worry about. Yes, it’s a different kind of book in comparison to The Fin...
Re-read on audio and just as awesome the second time! Vin is still my hero! ❤️Holy son of a biscuit eater!!! THIS BOOK! I loved it, loved it, loved it! Sanderson tackled most of my feels in this book and YES I cried here and there but most of it was happy crying. My dog even looked at me like I was crazy when I was laughing and crying and yelling YES at certain parts. Vin landed softly on the damp cobblestones, watching as the mists began to form around her. They puffed into existence as darknes...
Reviewed by: Rabid Reads3.5 starsAnytime I'm reading fantasy for review, I take copious notes. In fact, most of the time, my review is pretty much written by the time I finish the book, I just need to make slight alterations to account for any last minute goings on.And I like that, b/c your average fantasy is 2 - 3x longer than any other book. Trying to go back after the fact and recall all the key details would be a nightmare.BUT.Brandon Sanderson has consistently thwarted me in this area. And
“It's easy to believe in something when you win all the time. The losses are what define a man's faith.”...My soul was slain upon finishing this book, and I'm now writing this review from beyond the grave.You know what I did when I turned the last page of The Well of Ascension? Well, I shrieked like a banshee into my pillow first (because I'm a considerate roommate, thank you very much). I cried. A LOT. And then, I curled up into a ball on my bed and stared at the wall in silence.I'm an incohere...
I feel here as if I ought to apologize to my friends who love these books. The first was okay but I found the pacing a bit slow and had a "my interest comes and goes" experience. Sadly if I compare the pacing of the first volume of the series to the pacing in this one (the second volume) the story in volume 1 moved like the wind.I know that some are very involved here and love these, and I can see why. The characters have depth and you get an "in depth" view of their lives. Not only their lives
this had the potential to be a 5 star reading experience if i hadnt accidentally spoiled the ending for myself. :/once again, the end is where BS really makes his stories shine. the bulk majority of this sequel is about government, politics, and strategy; which makes sense considering how ‘the final empire’ ends. its a logical next step, but this type of content isnt my favourite as it tends to overshadow fantasy elements. so where i found my enjoyment was in the characters. i love all the chara...
The Well of Ascension (Mistborn,#2) by Brandon SandersonThey achieved the impossible by defeating the evil, whose cruel rule lasted for a thousand years. Now a street child who has grown into the most powerful the world, and an idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a new, healthy society. However, they hardly started with that when rebellions attacked them. It's an exciting sequel. Sanderson weaves a complex world with an innovative magic system. And realistic characters as a reade...
I like a story that surprises me, and this series keeps doing it. The ending of the last book was undoubtedly epic. I don’t know how Brandon Sanderson does it. It felt like the closing chapter for these characters, but, in reality, it was only the beginning of the series. The Lord Ruler’s death could have been the ending, but he was only the surface issue. Indeed, with his death a whole host of problems arose, and none of them are as simple as they appear. This proved that the generic plot of th...
Such a thrilling sequel.
I have only one word for this and it is: no. This was the most insufferably tedious book of my life. And I loved The Final Empire...it was exciting and had a con artist thing going on and magical wizard people with an epic magic system. But now I've gone from liking Sanderson to probably never trying a book by him again.EDIT 3/19: I've had so much hate for this lmao. write your own review instead of attacking me ok. i also have heard sanderson has very homophobic beliefs and so i //don't// suppo...
dead from sanderson ending syndrome
This nearly destroyed me and I absolutely loved it.
5th reread and this will probably be the best, my top fantasy story I will have ever read. --------------------------------1st read: Nov 20142nd read: March 20153rd read: April 2016This trilogy is becoming as loved and cherished as Harry Potter. First off, if you haven't read this trilogy, get it together, read it. And you're welcome, in advance. :DSecondly, as I'm reading this book again for the third time round, I keep thinking how incredible it is that it still has the capability to blow my m...
Upon Reread: I freaking love this book. Video review https://youtu.be/tM2iNM6JPAs--------------------------------------Brandon Sanderson is a jerk. Why would you rip me apart like that and then just... leave me there?????This book was amazing and had me guessing who the traitor was (I was wrong and like, what the heck?!?!?!) on every page. He confused me, shook me, broke my heart, and now I'm terrified for all my wonderful characters. Because Brandon S will go there - he'll just destroy them all...
It was because she understood her purpose. And she agreed with it. She could fight, could kill, if it meant defending those who could not defend themselves. Kelsier might have been able to kill for shock or retribution, but that wasn’t good enough for Vin.And she would never let it be again.. SPOILERS FOR BOOK 1 BELOW⤵A year has passed since the Lord Ruler was killed and the Skaa liberated. Things should be getting better right? Except they aren't. The city of Luthedel is in constant danger of i...
