That was one of the coolest endings of any book, ever. *COMPLETE AND UTTER SPOILERS*

Name: Katie P
Why I want this book:
Because I was totally floored by the ending of The Well of Ascension. Maybe other people saw it coming, but it got me totally blindsided. I'm not going to spoil it for people who haven't read it, but I was completely surprised and I loved every bit of it. Brandon Sanderson really knows how to write an exciting story, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us next.

It completely caught me by surprise. A small part of me expected Vin to resist the temptation to save Elend, give up the power and save the world, and yet have Elend somehow survive anyway. But mostly, I was pretty sure he was dead, and Vin would be on a Murderous Rampage of Death for most of the third book (though at the time I wasn't really thinking who the villain of the third book would be).
So when it turned out that the prophecies had been twisted, and selfishness and ambition was a very good thing for the supposed Hero of Ages to have, I was pretty shocked.
Dang, now you really got me thinking of that ending. No one else I talked to really agreed with me.
