Brandon Sanderson The Final Empire 1. Mistborn 2. The Well of Ascension 3. Hero of Ages reviewBrandon Sanderson The Final Empire Mistborn, The Well of Ascension reviewThe Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson (on audio)

The Well of Ascension … takes a while to get going and generally has less excitement to offer than its predecessor.

Micki: The book trailer is short, but provocative. Interesting. I can't say that it is what makes me want to go out and read the book. It is the blurb writte...
Fox: Haha!! I love it! Very unique take on the book trailers! That would catch my attention. After the trailers I now want the book! :D...
