The Alloy of Law
by Brandon Sanderson
REREAD NOV 2024
I have definitely enjoyed this book more on reread, and I dont think thats because of having more knowledge but just from a difference in taste. The first time I read this series I was still just coming back to readin and I was in a very high fantasy mindset. I was most comfortable reading sword and magic style fantasy and I think the whiplash from Mistborn era 1 in to era 2 put me off initially. Basically all of that to say I really enjoyed this book, it's very short so I don't have a ton to say so I'll just focus on the good.
This book is funny, not all of the jokes land and it is incredibly corny, but I think it's corny in a way that works. All of the characters have fun chemistry and the dialogue almost feels like comic book dialogue, Its a lot of dramatic monologuing and snappy one liners. I think this novella works really well as the cheesy adventure novel it sets out to be.
ORIGINAL REVIEW EARLY 2023 3 STARS
A short and sweet fantasy western, not as engaging for me as the mistborn Era 1 book, and I found the setting and characters a bit less engaging. I really enjoyed the faster pacing and more contained story line.
