Brandon Sanderson has rectified that issue in The Well of Ascension, giving the reader/listener a rich background of some characters and a deeper look into others that were perhaps a little more fleshed out in the first book than some other characters.įor instance, in the first book, Kelsier and Vin were the primary characters and, because of this, we got a good look into what made them tick. My main critique of The Final Empire was that I didn’t feel the secondary characters, despite having huge roles to play, were fleshed out nearly as much as I would have liked for an epic fantasy.


And, even more so than its predecessor, it scored high in other places. As, much like it’s predecessor, it seriously scored high in all the right places. Much the same as my review of the first book in the Mistborn trilogy ( The Final Empire) the main theme will be how much I enjoyed this book. My Rating of ‘The Well of Ascension’: 5 out of 5 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited But no-one knows where it is or what it can do… As the siege of Luthadel intensifies the ancient legend of the Well of Ascension offers the only glimmer of hope. More worryingly still the mists have become unpredictable since the Lord Ruler died and a strange vaprous entity is stalking Vin. Worryingly for her Vin has become the focus of a new religion, a development that leaves her intensely uneasy. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protégé Vin a one-time street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. But so too is Kelsier, the man who masterminded the triumph. The Lord Ruler is dead has been vanquished. So if you have yet to read/listen to book one, skip the blurb and just read my review 😉 WARNING: The blurb contains massive spoilers from book one. But no-one knows where it is or what it can do. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protege Vin a one-time street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land.
