The characters in this book make me so angry. The Battle of Luthadel and onward are the only parts I enjoy. Four years after reading this book the first time did improve my opinion of it a little but not by much. Last time I was so angry that I never started the third book. Now, I'll finally read The Hero of Ages. ( )
i've finally come around to picking up this second book in the mistborn trilogy...a big part of the intimidation is the size of this tome. i need to be in a certain mood to tackle 700+ page books. i need not have worried though as this, like the first book, was a page turner!
vin quickly became one of my favorite heroines, and am very glad her story has continued to grow organically here. while the first book was a heist, this one was more an exposition on politics, war maneuverings, philosophy, and theology...and she fits perfectly well in both. that sounded boring, but sanderson has actually included a lot of twists, clever reveals, and lots of action to keep it from being so.
this was a really fun read. im thinking it will not be too long before i pick up the 3rd book. ( )
Sanderson strikes again. Just like with the first Mistborn I struggled through the first 75% of the book before I started to get really into it. I have so much respect for the world-building and magic system here, so I’m not really sure why these books are such a struggle for me – it might be the audiobook narrator. But, just like before, I couldn’t put Ascension down for the last quarter of the book and I’m prepared to struggle through book #3 in anticipation of a solid ending. ( )
For Phyllis Call, Who may never understand my fantasy books, yet who taught me more about life - and therefore writing - than she can probably ever know (Thanks, Grandma!)
