Book Review of "Mistborn #4 - The Alloy of Law"

“The more alone you are, the more important it is to have someone you can rely upon.”

When was the last time you read a fantasy novel that was not set in the usual Victorian slash dark-age era - the time of the Kings and the Knights and the houses and such. Well, here you have it! 

“The Alloy of Law” is a skillfully crafted, fast-paced, and above all - insanely entertaining novel that takes place in a world that has recently discovered electricity, a world that is getting used to steam engine trains. And Brandon Sanderson has managed to blend the magical and the fantastical elements superbly with this new “advanced” Mistborn world. 

I had read the Mistborn trilogy a little over a year ago and frankly, I was a little hesitant to read the next novels. I mean come on, the original Mistborn trilogy is a great work of fantasy writing. Well, no more hesitation - "Alloy of Law" was thoroughly enjoyable and I am surely up for the rest of the ride!
