Review: The Alloy of Law (Mistborn #4), Brandon Sanderson

5/4/2013

The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, #4)The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book feels like a palate-cleanser to satisfy a Mistborn reader, but I wonder how it will fit into the planned second saga of Mistborn. Will it be just a throwaway novel, or will it have an impact on the second saga?
It's a by-the-numbers book, with some clever uses of allomancy, as is to be expected, though the characters are plain and the otherwise great plotting Sanderson got us hooked to is more pedestrian here, making it harder to elevate the material. The characters feel too overpowered at times and the risk is not upped enough to make you fear for them.
We'll have to see if Sanderson continues his plans for the Mistborn world. Maybe if he picks up from where this book left off, he will return to form and give the characters more substance, since it's not the world that needs fleshing out.
