Sanderson is something special in the fantasy genre. In a time when 'grungy', 'dirty' and 'realistic' is all the rage in fantasy (see: Martin, Abercrombie), Brandon's books manage to be enthralling, well-written, and intriguing page turners; all while being at least clean and approachable. He proves...
{Spoilers if you haven't read the first novel}The first half of the book lagged at parts, had many repetitive sequences and was slightly annoying. The intrigue and build up was enough that i kept my interest and did not get bored enough to stop reading. I think there was too much politics and slynes...
3 1/2 stars. I liked it, but not as much as the first. It seemed to drag at the end and Vin just drove me crazy with her stupidity through much of it. Also there was a lack of romance between Vin and Elend. I mean, not that there weren't kissing scenes, there were. There was just no feeling in it. I...
Mind. Blown.Won't say much because this is the second book of a trilogy and the story is so tightly crafted my impressions won't mean much until I've read the whole thing.The adventure, the suspense, the poignancy were all dead on in this installment. Even the parts that I thought I didn't love as m...
WOW!Awesome, awesome, awesome book.This was a fantastic read. Although others may say it was slow, which I read before starting, I thought it was perfect. Throughout the WHOLE book you're trying to guess what path our wonderful author Brandon Sanderson is going to take. The book is just full of anti...
I'll try to write a longer review later...but suffice to say, Sanderson proves himself once again to be a true master of storytelling. I loved seeing how those beloved characters continued to develop and grow, and of course, the plot twists and turns were stunning as ever. As soon as I finished it...
Finished at last! I am going to give The Well of Ascension 4 stars because Vin is the best fantasy heroine you will find. That girl can kick ass. I absolutely love her-and would be on my best behavior around Vin! Without her, this book would be forgettable. This book covers the siege of Luthadel by...
What an astounding sequel to a brilliant original book. Probably one of the stronger sequels I've ever read. And in many ways I enjoyed this almost more than the original. It focused more on the character of Eland Venture, opened up on more of the insecurities of Vin, introduced the new character of...
