The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
After finishing the Mistborn trilogy, I was thrilled to see that there's another book set in the Mistborn world.
This book takes place quite some time after the events of the Mistborn trilogy. The world has changed quite a bit. What used to be a rather primitive land with minimal technological advancement is now a world not unlike the Old West. Lawmen, outlaws, train robbers, revolvers - and Allomancy. It ends up being a world with a strong steampunk feel to it.
Since we have a new time period and a completely different version of the world, we have a brand new cast of characters. Wax is cool, but Wayne steals the show more often than not. (Also, I wish Sanderson had just called Wax "Wax" for the whole book. "Waxillium" is a stupid name.) Together they were like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, solving mysteries and getting the bad guys.
Overall, it was a fun continuation of the Mistborn universe. Highly recommended if you liked the Mistborn trilogy.
