Publisher's Summary

From number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical martial-arts action. 

Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history - or religion. 

Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice. One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn, who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. 

After 20 years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.

Pleasantly surprised!

I love basically all of Sanderson's work but just expected this wouldn't be able to live up to the first Mistborn series, cause nothing can be quite like that tale. BUT this was such a pleasantly awesome surprise! I love this different spin on the same world, a new age and cunning crime adventure. Excited for the next two!!

Don't believe the reviews that say this book is boring. I was caught up in it from the get go.

Building on the first trilogy

The Mistborn series never fails to entertain, and Kramer's reading is well done as always.

Keep Reading! It gets better and better!

I wasn't completely sold with the first two books of the series. They didn't completely grab me despite such awesome characters as Wayne. Then the third book happens and that's just a lead into the fourth book which has everything including multiple collisions of the cosmere! It's so good!!!
