Brandon Sanderson must have had a lot of fun writing this book. He seemed to relish the opportunity to step into a specific genre -- mostly western and not the steam punk I heard some people purport -- and use the cliches that identify the style. This book is very different from his other Mistborn novels; it lacks the heart, the sense of purpose, and the originality that made those work. As opposed to those masterful fantasies, this book was just a good romp. Fun, engaging, exciting, but not having the substance to make it great. 
 We listened to this as an unabridged audio from Audible, read by the inimitable Michael Kramer who was in excellent form, particularly in engaging love for Wayne. Sure, the plot twists are predictable and the love story flat, but if the thing you loved best about Mistborn was the ninja work, you will definitely enjoy the high-flying, hot-shot marksmanship and smoking-barrel style of this book.
