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.

Wow. Just wow.

THE WELL OF ASCENSION was a fantastic second book in this trilogy. While reading this, it felt like Brandon Sanderson really upped his game. The plot twists caught me by surprise. The continuing character development was phenomenal, and of course, Sanderson's writing was just completely top notch.

I wrote up such a long review for THE FINAL EMPIRE but if I did that here, I would spoil parts of that book, and I absolutely don't want to do that.

I still completely recommend reading that book, and then moving onto this one. Sanderson has really created something magical here, and I'm looking forward to getting the final book in the trilogy from my library soon.
