The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

This was a pretty good book. There was plenty of intrigue and some exciting battles. Because this is the second of a three-volume work, and I hadn't read the first, it took a while to get acclimatized to the characters and the various factions, but I managed and it was good thereafter. However, I am not inclined to go back and read the first or continue on to the third. I enjoyed it but didn't find it without flaws. Specifically, Vin, like so many modern characters, can't seem to make up her mind, and blames herself whenever things go wrong whatever their cause. It's becoming tedious to encounter this in book after book. Fortunately, there's sufficient action to overcome this flaw or at least make it to the end of the book without DNFing it.
