The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The Well of Ascension (Cosmere Universe) (Mistborn, #2)

by Brandon Sanderson

A sequel to the beautiful Mistborn: The Final Empire, the Dragonsteel edition of Well of Ascension is bound in premium bonded-leather, and the pages are smyth-sewn, not glued like most regular books. Well of Ascension is printed in 2-color offset black and red inks on quality, acid-free paper, includes a bound-in satin-ribbon bookmark, full-color endpapers by Howard Lyon, gilded pages, and two-color foiling on the cover. A 24-page 4-color offset art gallery starts off the edition and features never-before seen artwork and fanart.  The Dragonsteel Leather edition of Well of Ascension is 797 pages.

We’ve made this book a beautiful match for Mistborn: The Final Empire.

I really enjoyed this book, except for the unnecessary love triangle. I believe that Vin's struggles were valid and realistic, but they did not necessarily need to exist because of a love triangle, they could also exist because of things people say without necessarily feeling attracted to them.
Besides that, the book is a bit slow at some points, but it has a lot of politics so that is understandable. The ending really makes up for the love triangle and the slower parts.
