Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

A Brave New World
- By Don Gilbert on 10-02-15
By: Jim Butcher
Publisher's summary
The Mistborn trilogy has become a firm favourite with fantasy fans the world over. The imagination that Sanderson brought to the series and his skill at marshalling epic storylines and dramatic action, plus his ability to create vivid characters, made him a natural choice to complete Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time sequence. But with Mistborn, his stand-alone fantasies, and his new series, The Stormlight Archive, Sanderson has shown his bountiful talents in his own fiction.
Now he returns to the series that made his name with a new story set years after the events of Hero of Ages.
In a world recovering only slowly from evil, a world where allomancers wield immense power through their ability to unleash the magic bound up in common metals, someone who can burn metals that no-one has burned before can tip the balance....
Sanderson has the knack of giving epic fantasy listeners exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre and the dramatic story within The Alloy of Law shows off this skill to its very best.

Audio glitch
There are a few audio glitches in this version of the book. A bad one at character 12, 16 minutes in. The book itself is great however. Just get a different version.

Sanderson delivers!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have already recommended this book to a friend of mine.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Alloy of Law: A Mistborn Novel?
The book compares to all of the previous Mistborn novels. Although the setting is more modern and the characters are all new, I still get the same good feeling I got when reading the previous novels. Magical system works very well, the dialogue is interesting and fun, the pace of the novel is well balanced, good characters.
What about Michael Kramer’s performance did you like?
Kramer is my favorite reader. He always performs well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was indeed, it was hard to lay it aside.
Any additional comments?
It's too short! I would be surprised if this was the last book in this series.

A solid book, but leaves loose ends
Another good book in the Mistborn series by Sanderson. Excellent narration by Michael Kramer helps to bring the characters to life (although I felt he had trouble with the half cockney, half Aussie accent of Wayne, but it was entertaining in any case).
Whilst this novel is fundamentally a detective work and not my usual cup of tea, I did enjoy it tremendously. It's some few centuries on from the fall of the Final Empire: we have guns, trains, electricity, horseless carriages (well, I never!!!!) and new fangled machines.
It's all reminiscent of 19th century England or North America as you so desire to envisage. Sanderson provides a great setting and a well thought out plot. The characters aren't as powerful or versatile as the old true Mistborns, but within that constraint there's a lot of intricate and detailed use of the skills they have available which makes for interesting visualisations of how they achieve things. It's different, but still similar enough to what came before to keep it interesting.
There are still some ties to the distant past giving a feeling of familiarity so one is totally disassociated from the original trilogy.
I fervently hope that Sanderson follows this novel up to get on with the unfinished business and tie up the loose ends that the end of the book leaves us at. There is certainly a full novel worth of material to do so.
In short, if you're a fan of Sanderson and this genre, you'll like this book. I highly recommend it.

Mistborn on a steam train!
Would you listen to The Alloy of Law: A Mistborn Novel again? Why?
No. It's worth a good listen, but not a repeat listen. However, some will enjoy a repeat just to listen to Wayne's jokes.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting bit was the
Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer – was your favorite?
Wayne was the most fun character in Brandon Sanderson's books - period! Too many of Brandon's characters are straight good, bad or definedly mixed.
Wayne, however, provided comic relief which should be encouraged in all heavy set novels.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Although I was pining for return of characters from the original Mistborn series.
Any additional comments?
Even though a period story, it didn't stay true to the period setting. For example, parents were
