Nowhere nearly as good as the first Mistborn book. The Well of Ascension felt much slower, as it dragged a lot around the invasion of Luthadel and the different armies and politics around them. I understand it needed to be a slow burn in order to build up, but it literally took >600 pages for the invasion to happen.

I liked some of the arcs told during this time, including OreSeur, TenSoon, Zane, or Tyndwill, but it took me way longer to finish this book as I found it a bit harder to engage and read it at times (Specially as I was also listening to/reading Dungeon Crawler Carl during this time, which really sucked me in lol, so maybe that was my bad). The last part of the book was super intense though and I really enjoyed it, but god did it take time to get there!
