About this ebook
The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series and his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action, his ability to create vivid characters made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic wheel of time sequence. But with Mistborn, his standalone fantasies and his new series, The Stormlight Archive, Sanderson has shown his bountiful talents in his own fiction. Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story set years after the events of Hero of Ages.
In a world recovering only slowly from evil, a world where allomancers wield immense power through their ability to unleash the magic bound up in common metals someone who can burn metals that no-one has burned before can tip the balance...
Sanderson has the knack of giving the epic fantasy reader exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre and the dramatic story within The Alloy of Law shows off this skill to its very best.

I must say that I'm a little disappointed. Having read the first three mistborn books I had big expectations of this one. The characters were well developed but the weak attempts at humor generously interspersed throughout the book soon became cringe-worthy.

Good read but unfortunately too much about getting to the end of the story. Some quite clever suggestions but the main characters you had a feel for who they would be all along.

A little slow to start, but quickly drew me in and held me tight to the end. Sanderson portrayed the brilliance of the antagonist excellently; and even with the reveal of their plot Sanderson still managed to pull an excellent twist at the end. 5/5
