The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson – 5 Star Review

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson – 4 Star Review

The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler—the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years—has been vanquished. I read The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson in March 2021 as part of the Cosmere Conquest book club, which has now become The Oasis, an SFF themed book server on Discord. Consider…
