I really enjoyed this one.It was thick, complexly plotted, and interesting. The beginning was fun because it wasn't a typical adventure story (you know, kill the bad guy and everyone rejoices... it was picking up the pieces after that, dealing with the ensuing chaos.The story was fun, there were lot...

When I joined Goodreads a couple years ago, any book that had been more than a few years since I'd read it, I hesitated to rate. I find it hard to judge a book fairly in such cases, as unless it was either really amazing or really awful, unfortunately my memory gets fuzzy after a while. Anyway, I be...

*Sigh* You know that feeling you get when you finish an amazing book & start wondering how in the world you can write a review to do do it justice? I have a severe case of that going on. The Well of Ascension is the follow up to Mistborn (for my review click here) honestly I have to say: this is...

This book is a 'well, what happens after?' book. I'll tell you what happens after: absolute brilliance. I loved the book more than the first. This book was definitely on level with song of ice and fire, just with a bit more... Dare I say it?... Optimism.

This book started off slow, but picked up by the very end. I would give it four to five stars, but the fact remains that it did not hold my interest at every page like the first book did. I loved Vin's development in this book, as well as Elend Venture but seeing as it took me close to five months t...

Whoa. I was pretty confused, but that was a good twist at the end. All the pieces fall into place...The only thing I didn't really like but still respect is everyone dying. Well, not everyone, obviously, but I respect authors who aren't afraid to kill off secondary or main characters, as long as the...

I am a little mixed about this book. It started off really slow, and had to use a lot of exposition. It also employed a lot of 'soul-searching', which can be annoying. I also was finding the main character to be a little 'Mary-Sue'-ish. If I hadn't already bought the next book, I'd have probably g...

This sequel isn't as good as the first book.It's a bit slower and dragged out, the siege of the city and the politicking doesn't give an interesting plot in my opinion. And many topics are a bit boring and repeated again and again.The end of the book is the only real exciting part, when the real bad...

While I love this series, I think this middle book suffers from a lot of middle-book-itis. The characters do a lot of developing, the plot does a lot of setting up, but overall it feels like things are just a bit too drawn out and it throws the pacing off for me.I do love that we get a lot of inform...
