This is another great story in the Cosmere universe. It’s a standalone novel but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful to read. I loved Siri and Lightsong the most out of all the characters had something to keep you interested in them. Brandon Sanderson excels at making you care about the people and the worlds he creates. I found
Ah the 5th and final book in the series featuring Heather Wells. It took a long time but we finally got the wedding the readers were waiting for.

I’ve made it to the 4th book and I was surprised because I think I was 30% in before a body dropped. It just took awhile longer than the previous books.

Wow, the third book in the series and we finally have someone that isn’t a student die. In fact the dead person isn’t even female which makes a nice change of pace.

This book was published before Mistborn. This would be the 4th Brandon Sanderson book I’ve read if we don’t count the novella of The Emperor’s Soul.

We’ve come to the 5th and final book in this series Blood Debt! However this book is more of a transition book passing the torch to the next series where Tony gets to shine.

Well after the horror of third book Blood Lines, I was more than happy to move onto the 4th book Blood Pact.

The Well of Ascension is the second book of the Mistborn Trilogy and takes place 1 year after the ending of the first book.
