12. The Well of Ascension

By Brandon Sanderson (763 pp)

I hurried to finish this book so I could pass it on to my cousin when I saw him at Christmas. I had mixed feelings about this book.  I enjoyed it less than the first one. There were enough interesting developments to keep me reading but at times it felt like a slog. When I finished, I fired up a wiki since I had some questions and most people posted: stop reading the wiki and go read the next book. Your questions will be answered.  So another 700 page fatty awaits.
