The Alloy of Law kicks off Mistborn Era 2 with a mellow start. The book does a reasonable job of what it wanted to do. There was some reasonable action, some good humor and generally likable characters. The worldbuilding is fun, with all the references to Era 1 is so fun. But this book seemed to be of a different tone. Reads more like a mystery-action novel with a basic kidnapping plot, which seems kind of a let compared what we have come to expect with Cosmere books.

SPOILERS!

I really liked Wayne, he is endearing and goofy! Looks like Marsh still lives. And who is Lord Mistborn ? lol. I got excited with Steris but then she exits the book immediately. Funny. Great action though!
