Review of 'The Alloy of Law' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

It's almost too bad that you have to read the original Mistborn trilogy to really appreciate this book, because it's a lot better than them. Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, the world has progressed. And it's a kind of Wild West situation, but with nobility and magic.
