About this ebook

Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.

They did the impossible, ending the thousand-year reign of the godlike Lord Ruler. Now Vin, the former street urchin turned powerful Mistborn, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.

As tensions grow in the wake of the uprising, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.

It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.

While this title claims to have no Digital Rights Management, you will receive an ASCM file if you click on "Download an EPUB". You will not receive an EPUB file. You'll be locked into reading only using Adobe garbage software or using the horrible Google Books software. You only other option is going through the hassle of stripping/converting it.

I'll admit it was slower at times, even tedious, compared to the first book, but by the end the hook was there to keep me coming back! I'll be reading the third book before long. Spoiler: crossing my fingers we don't have to go through Vin training Elend, blah.

Very dull in the beginning. A little too "new reader" friendly, re-capping basic terms and ideas that should have already been understood from book 1. If you came straight from the first book into the second, with little downtime in between, it will get very repetitive. If you didnt read book one (honestly you have bigger problems at this point if that applies to you), or if its been a while, then it will serve as a good teacher/refresher. Overall good book, just takes a bit to get some steam.
