A review by wanderlustlover
The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

This was the first novel is the 2nd Era of Mistborn, taking place nearly 350 years after the first trilogy.

High on the PERFECT ENDING of the conclusion of the first trilogy, I felt two very different ways about heading into the other: one, that I was super excited because Sanderson proved his mastery and mettle and blew me over with so much I couldn't predict; and two, that I was nervous about heading into an all-new round of people and being so attached to the last crew.

Needless to say, we are now in the near-cowboys lands, as well as the modern society that's slowly progressing into the industrial age, as people are starting to have electric lights and motor cards, watching people negotiate the changing world around them. This one, again, was such a DELIGHT, and I love our three main new characters. I never predicted the big twist, but it had me cackling a little while out of delight and the terrible things that could fall out of it.
