The Well of Ascension- Brandon Sanderson

Book 9 of My Summer Reading Challenge

My rating: 5/5 stars

Normally in a trilogy, I am faced with a boring second book which is added to fill up the story which can be kept going so that it sets up the third book for a wild ride. I did not get that with this book. I absolutely loved the story of the first book and I was not disappointed at all with how this book played out. My emotions went through a up and down ride as I read this story and there were so many events which I didn't see coming and were a complete shock.

This is a brilliant example of a book which you pick up and you never want to put it down. Every spare moment I had was taken up by the adventures of Vin and the gang and when I was not captivated in this world, I was wishing that I was.

I still miss Kelsier, this book just felt weird without his presence. All the time, I was just wishing that he would pop up and save the day to tell them all where they were going wrong and how to put it straight again.

Throughout this book, I just kept wondering "Where the hell is Marsh?" he just vanished near the beginning and he never showed up until the end. he better have a good reason for doing what he did. Poor Sazed.

I feel so sorry for Sazed. He has got to be one of my favourite characters in these books, he is just so sweet. How could Sanderson do that to him?! He finally manages to get someone whom he loves and they are happy and they he rips her away from him! It made me so angry and sad at the same time.

I was really starting to like OreSeur as well, him and Vin were just getting a connection, and it turned out to be TenSoon! I suppose TenSoon also had a connection with Vin since it was him all along and in the end he helped her against Zane.

Zane, lets talk about Zane.

I don't know where to begin. I was starting to like Zane as a character! and then he dies. The thing that got to me the most was he thought that he was insane and the last thing that he hears from the 'God' in his head was that he wasn't insane at all and it left me with so many questions that were not answered BECAUSE HE IS DEAD! That really played with my emotions.

Now that I have finished this book, The Hero of Ages is calling me from my bedside desk, and I shall not delay before being sucked into the Mistborn world once more.
