For the second book in a series, I'm impressed with how much I liked this one after finishing them all. There were moments in this book where I was so worried they wouldn't figure something out fast enough that I would read so much faster and have to slow myself down to absorb what was happening. Sazed's development was great, I love him.

fuck me the ending had me screaming. I finished the book at like 1am and had to stay up for another 2 hours just to calm myself down. Absolutely insane I didn't see the twist of the well coming AT ALL. And the best part was that it was all there! I hate books that pull shit out of nowhere but there were breadcrumbs everywhere I just didn't see them. Hot damn.
