Mistborn #02: The Well of Ascension

by Brandon Sanderson

Mistborn #02: The Well of Ascension Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Evil has been defeated. The war has just begun.

They did the impossible, deposing the godlike being whose brutal rule had lasted a thousand years. Now Vin, the street urchin who has grown into the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.

They have barely begun when three separate armies attack. As the siege tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.

It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.

Review:

Praise for The Well of Ascension:

“All the explosive action any adventure fan could want.”

--Locus

"Sanderson's entertaining second Mistborn novel begins after most fantasy series end, when the team of brave and cunning heroes find that holding on to power is even harder than overthrowing the previous tyrant. . . .  This entertaining read will especially please those who always wanted to know what happened after the good guys won."

--Publishers Weekly

“A great epic fantasy . . . Fans of Terry Goodkind and Terry Brooks will find The Well of Ascension fulfilling, satisfying, and incredibly exciting.”

--SFRevu.com

Synopsis:

After deposing the godlike being whose brutal rule had lasted a thousand years, Vin, the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society, in this second novel of Mistborn.

Brandon Sandersons Mistborn trilogy is what epic fantasy is all about. This is the second book. Mistborn is a very well rounded story with great characters, really creative magic and many unexpected turns. The story moves along very well without any lulls or boring parts. Putting it down will be hard. Read this and you will know why Brandon was chosen to finish Robert Jordans Wheel of Time.
