If you liked the first Mistborn trilogy you will love this first iteration into Wax and Wayne Mistborn saga. Characters from the previous trilogy are handled excellently, the setting is exceedingly alluring and the pacing is wonderful. Fantastic and easy read.

A new twist on the mistborn theme. I wasn’t expecting much but found the read surprisingly enjoyable.

I loved the Mistborn Series. So unique and inventive. For some reason I turned away for this follow up series and deeply regret it now. I finished this book before I even realized it and am super excited to start the next in the series. Thank you Brandon. Your books are wonderful.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book and have always loved this sort of setting. I felt like the characters were more fleshed out and there was a little less “magic” to sort through and follow.

I'm a huge mistborn fan, and the first three books are incredible! But, you can tell this book isn't as good. It's short, the characters are bland and lack depth, and the book is a bit short. If you like the first three I'd say maybe get it, but don't set you expectations high.

I can't recall another author who was take a system of "magic", and propelled to to a future time with different characters into a somewhat different genre. This would be classified as a Western fantasy science fiction mystery, I think. Creative as Sanderson is there are some of the same tired PG tropes that he sticks to, with the proper but counterculture protagonist, arranged marriages, unconsummated relationships with "pure" young women who would never dream of violating their chaste lifestyle. There's a certain way that he shies away from "dishonorable" thinking that makes the characters slightly less then lifelike, but it's also what is too often seen in the fantasy genre. That being said, this is an amazing book with creative and compelling plot lines, and well worth reading.

I've been avid reader of Brandon Sanderson's books. Clearly his greed is showing. This book is a cliffhanger.

Ending. Not sure what to think of it though... Just weird

Had you not asked Brandon Sanderson to finish your series, I would have most likely passed over this series. I am securely hooked on it now and anxiously await more installments
