Series: Wax and Wayne Book Three, Mistborn Book Six
Pages: 448

It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's ... A Box?


(Spoilers for the five previous Mistborn books are below).

Six months have passed since Wax put down the rogue kandra Paalm, who had not only been terrorizing the city of Elendel, but had previously been deceiving him as the love of his life, Lessie. It's time for Wax to finally fulfill his vows of marriage to his political ally, Steris. As with everything in Wax's life, things don't turn out the way they should, and soon he, Marasi, Wayne, and even Steris this time, find themselves on a train out of Elendel seeking the Bands of Mourning, the mystical metal minds that once empowered the Lord Ruler.

Mistborn: The Alloy of Law Book Review

by The Wanderer

Author: Brandon Sanderson
Publisher: Tor Books
Genre: Epic Fantasy
Series: Wax and Wayne Book One, Mistborn Book Four
Pages: 416

Buy on Amazon!

Set 300 years after the final book in the original Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson returns to the world of Scadrial with a new cast of characters.  Readers won’t have to read the original Mistborn Trilogy in order to read Alloy of Law, although I would recommend they do, because it gives a lot of backstory, and was – generally speaking – a great read.

Compared to the original trilogy, Alloy of Law is a strong entrant into the Mistborn series, but it’s definitely not Sanderson’s best.  I would still recommend it to fans of the original trilogy.  If you haven’t read any of the Mistborn books, then I would recommend this to people who are into steampunk, westerns, and highly developed magic systems.
