Review of 'The Well of Ascension' on 'Storygraph'

Generally I think this is very good, there's so much too it (probably as it's 700ish pages) and I don't think I read it slow enough to appreciate how good it is. I definitely found it tiring to read though, there's just so much happening (and I didn't realise there was a glossary at the back lmfao, so definitely read that). The ending was good though, and I think it made the huge length worth it. I also enjoy the magic system & world building <3 I think I prefer the plot of book one though

Like book two of LotR; not just a sequel

Review of 'The Well of Ascension' on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed this more than I did the first time.

Part of the issue, I think, is that I get so caught up in watching for things to come I sometimes struggle with middle books in a trilogy.

Part of the issue, though, is definitely that this book made me feel kind of dumb.

I just missed it completely and I facepalmed so hard I actually spent about thirty minutes explaining what lead up to it and as much background as needed to explain the twist and why I didn't see it coming and should have to my father. It …

Review of 'El pozo de la ascensión (Nacidos de la bruma, #2)' on 'Goodreads'

Es cierto que el cuarenta y tantos por ciento inicial del libro me parecía más flojo que el primero y no me enganchaba pero después de eso fue cuesta abajo y son frenos mis ganas de leer.

El final me ha gustado mucho aunque yo hubiera dejado morir a cierto personaje y no convertirlo en lo que lo convierten.
