Overall, I loved it and am looking forward to the next one. There was also some good humor in the dialogue between two of the main characters, and of course, that dialogue was brilliantly performed yet again by Michael Kramer.

I thought the bits and pieces of the original story were tied in cleverly and not overdone. Or would it be the older world? Depends on how you look at it I guess, but it is the same world as the original series, just 300 years after the end of the last book. I truly enjoyed the characters, the story, and the new world. I too was not sure about the more 'modern setting of this new series, but I ended up being surprised at how well it worked. 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. 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.Īfter 20 years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. 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. 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. From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical martial-arts action.
