“Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre.†―Library Journal, starred review“Part Sherlock Holmes, Part X-Men, this exciting stand-alone adventure is full of close shaves, shootouts, and witty banter.†―Publishers Weekly“Rive with laugh-out-loud moments, religious and philosophical ponderings, and plenty of crime-fighting action, this book fits nicely in any gun-holster.†―Booklist on The Alloy of Law“An engaging and fun romp of a read. The characters really shine.†―RT Book Reviews on The Alloy of Law“Sanderson's fresh ideas on the source and employment of magic are both arresting and original.†―Kirkus Reviews on The Alloy of Law“[The Hero of Ages] brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax…. Sanderson's saga of consequences offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith, and responsibility.†―Publishers Weekly“Sanderson is an evil genius. There is simply no other way to describe what he's managed to pull off in this transcendent final volume of his Mistborn trilogy.†―RT Book Reviews (Gold Medal, Top Pick!) on The Hero of Ages“Mistborn utilizes a well thought-out system of magic. It also has a great cast of believable characters, a plausible world, an intriguing political system and, despite being the first book of a trilogy, a very satisfying ending. Highly recommended to anyone hungry for a good read.†―Robin Hobb“ It's rare for a fiction writer to have much understanding of how leadership works and how love really takes root in the human heart. Sanderson is astonishingly wise.†―Orson Scott Card

Not nearly as good as the first three Mistborn in my opinion. For those that don't know this is the start of a new series set in the same universe as his Mistborn Trilogy (which is excellent) but many years later with new characters and a 'western' setting rather than the more medieval setting of the first trilogy.If it weren't Sanderson I might have had lower expectations but everything else I've read of his was phenomenal and this was a really by-the-numbers story that I didn't find that exciting. I kind of had to force myself through parts of it due to being bored, which is the opposite of how I read most of his books. The two main characters are kind of cool seeming at first, but were more style than substance in my opinion (and the majority of the substance was in the first chapter), and all the rest were paper-thin (including the villain). The plot was too straightforward given how fantastic his plots are in other books. Anyways its mildly enjoyable but disappointing as a followup to the first Mistborn trilogy.
This was a 4.5 star book for me, and a whole lot of fun!I went into this book with very high expectations, especially because of my undying love for the Misborn Trilogy. I couldn't wait to get back into this world! And in that respect it did not disappoint. The world is well built and it does stand apart from the original Mistborn world in a fun and ingenious way. With steampunk aspects (which I normally love) and Western flare (which I neither like nor deslike), this world is fully fleshed out without being overwelming.What was amazing, and by far the best part of the book for me, was the action-packed dynamics of this book. The pace is very fast, without sacrificing character development or plot. The new (yes, new!) allomantic and feruchimical powers were incredible and there are so many interweaving possibilities between the different powers, the old world, the new one, the characters, and argh... So good!The one thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was Wax, the main character. All the characters were great, had distinct and interesting voices, wondeful personalities, and great overall appeal... Except Wax. There are some interesting developments towards the end, and he isn't bad at all (I was rooting for him the whole time). But it felt like this was a preface to Wax's true story (which I heard is how Brandon Sanderson describes this). The good thing is that I am sure (because of the ending) that he will be further developed in the next book.It is an absolutely worthwhile read, and if you liked the Mistborn Trilogy you should definetely pick this up. (And if you haven't read the Mistborn Trilogy yet, please do! It's brilliant!)
This book felt about half as long as the ones in the preceding trilogy. Almost more of a novella than a full novel. As a result of the cramped size of the book, character development feels sparse, and where it does occur, very forced. Though characters are not exactly Sanderson’s “thingâ€, (not that his characters are bad, it’s just not where he shines the most) he usually does a good job of revealing crucial background details about a character over a broader number of pages, and allows more natural character interactions to drive exposition. That isn’t happening here.The contrast is pretty significant, in fact. For example, he goes through a very long process of foreshadowing with the characters in Stormlight Archive, holding back or merely hinting at the traumas and regrettable decisions in their past. And while he doesn’t do that to the same degree in the prior Mistborn Trilogy, the process of characterization there is still more drawn out, and, therefore, more believable. This simply doesn’t happen in Alloy of Law. The book begins with a straight up and down depiction of the tragic event that defines Wax, the main character. The sidekick, Wayne, doesn’t even get that level of attention from Sanderson: Wayne reveals his dark secret in a paragraph-long expository block delivered to a character whom, in canon, he has literally met once or twice before. You could chalk that up to Wayne being a cheeky over-sharer, but you could also chalk it up to Sanderson wanting to cram a novel’s worth of character development into a page or two.Overall, the book feels much more like an extended short story than a true novel; perhaps this is because the pace of the story is very rapid. Or perhaps it’s because the book was intended to be a tacked-on novella (as Sanderson has produced for other series’ of his) rather than a fully-fledged intro to a new series. (I may Google that after I finish writing this, actually. It would explain a lot.)The book is still good, of course. The action scenes are largely clean and well-written, though there were one or two times when I had to reread a description of some gunplay a few times before I “got†it.And, of course, the worldbuilding is there, as the author builds skillfully on the basic principles he set up already in the prior books set in this world. The really interesting thing is the combined Allomancy/Feruchemy powers of people Sanderson labels “Twinbornâ€. However, he only displays three characters with those kinds of powers in this book, and there’s only really a single memorable execution of a “combo abilityâ€, so to speak, by any of the characters. It’s not the magic that drives this book, really. It’s simply integrated very well into the plot of the book. At no point does it feel like Sanderson is using his magic systems as a deus ex machina; characters with godlike powers counter one another very cleverly and in very logical ways. Like all his books, the systems of magic that make Alloy of Law a fantasy novel (rather than a run of the mill western) are so smoothly written and logically described that they enhance the believability of the narrative, rather than detracting from it.It’s a testament to his skill in designing a setting that when Sanderson’s characters use magical powers to escape perilous situations, it requires almost no suspension of disbelief from the reader. The powers of the characters are sensical and clearly delimited; instead of just “flyingâ€, characters have to leap through the air with careful bursts of magnetic force. Instead of just being “invulnerableâ€, characters have to spend two weeks being sick so they can spend a minute healing a gunshot wound when they need it. It’s details like that that make the book (like all his books) a compelling read. I only wish there were more of it in there.Over all, The Alloy of Law suffered from a cramped plot and a lack of natural character development. But those flaws didn’t stop me from enjoying the book, and what Sanderson has done to bring the story from a medieval fantasy setting to a western fantasy setting is interesting enough to make me buy the next book in the series. Here’s hoping it’ll be longer than this one was.
