The Alloy of Law

Sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot. This is one of those times for me. After the high of the Mistborn series I gave up on The Alloy of Law because I did not want a low point in the “Metalverse”. And boy did Brandon make sure that I regret it. The next trilogy in this verse is probably Brandon at his best but it does not rate five stars because the concept is old. Other than that it has all the ingredients including some very nice humour and the most imaginative action scenes. (Hitting a bullet with another bullet was stretching it a bit though Brandon). There is always a “goosebump” moment in the books and in this was delivered with aplomb in the form of the “Mistcloak”. All in all a highly recommended read and a long wait for the next instalment.
