2.5/5 - Full review at emileereads: http://emileereads.com/blog/2017/8/22... 
 This was my least favorite Mistborn novel. I didn't like these characters as much as I had liked Vin, Sazed, and TenSoon. I missed them. It felt weird to suddenly jump into a world that was relatively stable and orderly after all the chaos of the original story. It was strange that there were cars and electricity when I had grown used to a typical, medieval-ish fantasy setting. 
 BUT - Sanderson did such a good job of making me care about this world previously that there was no question of me not finishing the book. And as I read, I got used to the changes. I liked Wax in the way you always like the hero of the book, and Wayne was amusing with a few laugh out loud moments. He had a couple over the top moments too, but those mostly disappeared after book 4. 
 The plot in this one was extremely predictable when compared to the original trilogy, and the writing was simpler as well. The Alloy of Law read like a young adult western with a bit of Allomancy sprinkled in. All throughout the book, I was waiting for a cliche romantic moment (view spoiler)[ but when it didn't happen, I was pleasantly surprised and that made me look forward to what happened in the next one. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall, I think the Wax and Wayne stories are a great addition to the Mistborn world; the best part is seeing how these modern characters turned the original ones into legend.
