Rezension(3): " Publishers Weekly on The Alloy of Law :Rollicking adventure ... Part Sherlock Holmes, part X-Men, this exciting stand-alone adventure is full of close shaves, shootouts, and witty banter." Rezension(4): " Library Journal , starred review, on The Alloy of Law :A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old.

Rezension(7): "B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog on The Bands of Mourning :Witty, memorable characters,a fast-moving, plate-spinning plot,and a deepening of one of the most creative magic systems ever conceived: it's everything a Sanderson fan could ask for." Rezension(8): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 1, 2022 In their final outing as part of the Mistborn series, Wax and Wayne-that is, Waxillium and Wayne, joined by Marasi--journey to the city of Bilming, in turmoil as it attempts to break away from the central government in Elendel. Actually, it's under the sway of the dangerous god Trell. With a 500,000-copy first printing. Copyright 2022 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(9): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: November 15, 2022 A fantasy adventure about a race to stop a group of fanatics from destroying the world. Waxillium Ladrian is a senator now, desperately trying to use his influence to prevent a civil war in his homeland of the Basin. Marasi and Wayne are partners, official constables charged with keeping the peace. But when Marasi encounters a member of the shadowy Set with unnatural powers who makes a bleak prophecy about the world ending in ash and darkness and uncovers a perplexing Set plot to smuggle material into--not out of--the city of Elendel, the whole group is soon drawn back into the world-saving business. Then Wax accidentally demonstrates that using a mysterious metal called trellium to attempt to split harmonium into its component metals causes massive explosions. If the Set were to gain this information, the result could be a cataclysmic blast. In Sanderson's capable hands, the first third of the novel moves along at a steady pace, setting up this new adventure while still allowing plenty of time for readers to reacquaint themselves with the charming characters who people this chapter of the Mistborn saga. Once the team heads for the Outer City of Bilming, the pace picks up to breakneck speed, and the bulk of the novel is spent rushing to uncover the plot and prevent disaster. Evil gods, visitors from other parts of the Cosmere, underground bunkers--this is an action-packed adventure that also drops plenty of hints about where the Mistborn saga might go from here. A fast-paced and entirely satisfying conclusion to Mistborn's second era. COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "
