Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Brandon sanderson is so gifted at not only changing pacing between books and even in the middle of books, but also adding a different flare to each novel. The well of ascension picks up one year after the final empire. Sanderson's mind is intense and ... Read More

Haven't read the prequel book yet. I'm excited to see how the trilogy ends.

It is truly something you should experience organically as you read the book. This is really good. Well worth the time. Keeps you on your toes.

Cons

Follow up seems to have taken a massive nose dive in quality. It's almost as though neither of them really read the whole thing through after the first draft was done. Now they're so solemn it's barely tolerable to read.

The storm light archive has a level of maturity and thoughtfulness missing in this first series. Women disrobing for men to avoid physical * or death, frequent reminders that a main male character has been castrated, a character has schizophenia, etc.... Read More

Vin is riddled with guilt. Vin also has terrible 'tacked on' femininity. The pauper to prince makeover we're getting from both vin and eland is really tiresome.

Starts small (but not unentertaining) and builds to a powerful crescendo with twists i never saw coming.

The twists, the world building, the lore, the characters, the magic- all of it has me in a chokehold to finish.

The new antagonist we get is so perfect and gives vin intense internal and external problems.

Price

We like stories for pure entertainment value only.

Shipping

It arrived on time, even though it was a last minute purchase, and was well packaged in perfect condition.

Packaging/appearance

The ending, as always, was packed with excellent action scenes, vivid imagery (especially during koloss scenes), and an impress... Read More

It was only in a thin bubble packing, nothing to keep the book from being damaged or smashed

Competitiveness

But compared to the world and plot setup in book one that often felt like reading history books and battle plans (again, in a g... Read More
