Publisher's Summary

The impossible has happened. The Lord Ruler is dead. But so too is Kelsier, the man who masterminded the triumph. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protege Vin - a onetime street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. Worryingly for her, Vin has become the focus of a new religion, a development that leaves her intensely uneasy. More worryingly still, the mists have become unpredictable since the Lord Ruler died, and a strange vaprous entity is stalking Vin. As the siege of Luthadel intensifies, the ancient legend of the Well of Ascension offers the only glimmer of hope. But no-one knows where it is or what it can do....

Great story

I really like the style and the choice of the narrator! Having listen to the first 2 books of the stormlight archive, it is interesting to identify signature elements of this author's fantasy creations. Overall a really good "read".

Great story well told!

The second book in the Mist Born series was better than the first, I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to book three!

I'm not enjoying the monotonous self doubt of Vin.

The author has fallen into the same trap of so many others. To counter arrogance the character is too timid.

Fantastic, though weaker than the first book

Not quite as good as the first book but nonetheless a great read. A few moments in the story nearly put me off, however all of them redeemed themselves, earning the 5 star rating. It's worth noting it may not be for those not interested in political stories although I encourage you to push through as the payoff is well worth it.

Mistborn: The Well Of Ascension

The story was a bit slow around the start and the middle however the end made up for that. Great book!

Not what you expect, in a great way.

Great continuation of a great series, I touch slow and in bits, but the pay offs are absolutely worth it.
