"That hat looks ridiculous." 
 "Fortunately, I can change hats," Wayne said, "while you, sir, are stuck with that face." 
 I was a bit hesitant about picking this book up after being disappointed over Sanderson's The Hero of Ages (more on that some other time), but I'm so glad that I agreed to buddy read it with my bf! 
 First of all, it's completely different from the original Mistborn trilogy. 
 While The Final Empire & Co. introduce a high fantasy world with a huge cast of characters, complex religious and political systems and a plot full of strategising, battles and political maneuvering, The Alloy of Law is more of a fast paced western/steampunk novel. 
 It's set in the same world as TFE, but 300 years have passed and a lot has changed since then. 
 There have been political shifts, major technological advances and we get to meet a whole new cast of characters. 
 But worry not, our favorites from the previous trilogy are still mentioned and I loved seeing references to them in the book. 
 The Alloy of Law is a heist story at its core. 
 It introduces Waxillium Ladrian, a member of nobility whose favorite pastime is delivering justice and catching criminals, and his wise-cracking friend Wayne who is frankly my favorite character of these series so far. 
 This unlikely duo gets entangled in a conspiracy and they are the only ones who can solve the case of mysterious kidnappings... or can they? 
 As I mentioned earlier, this book has a much smaller story arc, but it's written beautifully and I can't recommend it enough! 
 I loved the new characters that we get to meet and reading about how the world changed in all those years since Vin&Co. was absolutely fascinating. 
 Not to mention seeing all the new ways of how Allomancy developed and mutated, and how this modernized sorta-industrial-revolution era combined Allomancy with guns and cars and other technological advances. 
 If you're a fan of the Mistborn trilogy and Sanderson, you simply have to read this book! 
 Thank you Seba for reading it with me, it was so much fun!
