The Well of Ascension

This book took everything i loved about the first book and ran with it. I love the political intrigue, i love the chesslike movements of all parties involved, i love the misdirection, i love how the new religions play out, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way he foreshadows the otherwise Deus Ex Machina. It all works. Everything, including the ending, is satisfying in the most spectacular way. No complaints about this ending unlike the ending to the first book.
