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 to Coinshot's manipulations. It had a cowboy feel, with shoot-outs and the ghost-town-like Roughs. Less complex than Sanderon's othe books, The Alloy still boasts some high-action scenes and the same realization that there is much more at play than the obvious problem. The ending was disappointing — I thought that since it was a novel, the ending would be satisfying and conclusive, but it was anything but. My biggest problem was the language — to much swearing (primarily the d-word) — and some vulgar comments by Wayne, one of the main characters. However, I enjoyed journeying back to the world of Allomancers and seeing how they work with more technology. Still a good read, but for mature people.
