While I don’t think it was as good as Mistborn Era 1. I loved Mistborn Era 1 and I was super intrigued to see how Sanderson would evolve this world and also what he would do after such a monumental first series! I was super excited going into this new series. Or so he thinks until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice.

Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history-or religion. Plot for Book 1, The Alloy of Law: Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.
