Sanderson returns to his compelling word of Allomancy, conspiracy, and lore in a Wild-West-style novel. While it is a significant (and perhaps jarring) departure from the medieval-style masterwork of Mistborn Era 1, The Alloy of Law is…

I just finished reworking through Mistborn trilogy a while ago. They are one of my favorite fantasy series but, though it was nice to revisit that world, I did not like this one nearly as much. I really liked some of the characters and,…

Welcome back to Scadriel - 300 years after Hero of Ages. This world really does not feel the same, other than the Allomancy and Feruchemy, but even that works a lot differently than before. People don't have the same level of power they…

An action packed and quick read, The Alloy of Law is full of intrigue and great characters!

Brandon Sanderson takes us from the epic fantasy of Mistborn into a rip-roaring adventure. I loved the change of pace. This is less epic and more focused on the main characters. Beloved sidekick Wayne had me in stitches with his…

This series is so much fun. I love Brandon Sanderson but some of his series (Mistborn, and Stormlight archive) feel very biblical and epic. Sanderson usually wants to tell you creation myths and show you once in a lifetime legendary…

This review is not glowing, but this is a good book and because the next book in the series, The Shadows of Self, is sooo good, I'm going to recommend you read this book now. Go on, I'll wait. While Sanderson was up to his usual…

Sanderson advances his Mistborn setting to the equivalent of the Wild West for a wholly original fantasy tale. The magical system is unique too: some people swallow metal to power a special ability, and some rare "Twinborns" have two…

The 4th book in the Mistborn series takes place hundreds of years after the events in 'Hero of the Ages'. The ashmounts no longer exist thanks to Harmony changing the world to what it had been before the Deepness. The original characters…

This story sort of "grew" on me so by the end I was delighted with the combination of action, intrigue, character development, relationships, humor, and even life philosophy! Recommending it to anyone who likes to actually learn something…

I loved this entire series!. If you want to get into the Mist born book, this is a good start if the others aren't available This is book 4 , the start of the second trilogy. It is short by comparison to the first 3 books, but still none…

Exciting book. I first started reading Sanderson because he continued the Wheel of Time series. This book was the first of his original works that I read and I liked it a lot. Alloy of Law is a fast paced book filled with action and…

Several hundred years after the Mistborn trilogy, The Alloy of Law takes place in the same land that its preceeding series did, but with a whole new twist. There are now guns, trains, Twinborn, no Mistborn, and aluminum bullets resistant…

I checked the author's name, twice. I couldn't believe that Brandon Sanderson, THE Brandon Sanderson had written this piece of dreck. It reads like a badly written Harlequin Romance. Sci-fi/fantasy chick-lit..... Give it a…

I love how he took a concept we ave already seen and put an evolutionary like twist into it. Brilliant - also on a side note I love what the "Old Imperial" way of speaking is. Truly another great read by Brandon Sanderson!

This was a great adventure story with some fun magic. It takes place over 300 years after the last Mistborn novel and has a very old west kind of feel. The characters are interesting and I want to see more of them.

Another in the Mistborn universe. Slower paced than the original series, but still interesting.

Just as amazing as it's predecessors. I hope there's more on the way Mr. Sanderson!
