Summary
The impossible has happened. The Lord Ruler is dead. But so too is Kelsier, the man who masterminded the triumph. The awesome task of rebuilding the world has been left to his protege Vin - a onetime street urchin, now the most powerful Mistborn in the land. Worryingly for her, Vin has become the focus of a new religion, a development that leaves her intensely uneasy. More worryingly still, the mists have become unpredictable since the Lord Ruler died, and a strange vaprous entity is stalking Vin. As the siege of Luthadel intensifies, the ancient legend of the Well of Ascension offers the only glimmer of hope. But no-one knows where it is or what it can do....

Second book and still gripping me
OK. Firstly, this is not a sequel and thus isn't simply a rehash of the first concept, this is the next installment.
If you listened to the first book and enjoyed it, then you'll enjoy this.
This installment adds depth to characters and adds more detail to the backstory of the world; introducing whole new species and new magic into the world created in the first book, as well as adding insight into the magic already introduced in the first book . This is a worthy listen, although I would imagine that starting on this book would leave the listener baffled as it requires the background and gentle introduction provided in the first book otherwise you will feel cheated.
Overall, a great listen.
Thank you once again Mr Sanderson.

Teeth Gritted Throughout
Brandon, please just assume that we know all characters have their teeth gritted then you don't need to tell us so often.
Joking aside this is a solid edition and more of the world revealed at a good pace. I only give it a 4 though as it felt a bit predictable..

Simply awesome
With the events of the last book and the loss of such a strong main character i was concerned that the second book would struggle to live up to the first. However i was very much mistaken the book then follows other characters with equally exciting stories. I found my self shouting at the book at times of pearl and was able to get lost in the amazing character development. Sanderson has really built a fantastic series here and i am sooo excited to find out the end of the story in book 3. I would recommend the mistborn series to anyone who is interested in fantasy novels.

Excellent but overly long
I'm not a fan of long drawn out angst. My only criticism of this excellent story is that, in my opinion, the author spent too too long on the internal (at some times adolescent) neediness of Vin and the self-doubt of her lover.
Nonetheless, I'll be buying Audible Book 3 right away.

Slow start, but great listening
Unlike the first book, I struggled to get through the first third of this one. I felt the characters lack of maturity unauthentic and out of place, however once the stakes of the plot are raised, Sanderson shines once again, providing a second half that was easy to fly through and had me hooked. I recommend grinding through the first half to get to the second half.
Michael Kramer, once again, blows me away with guys narration.
