The Alloy of Law [Dramatized Adaptation]

Mistborn [Dramatized Adaptation] #4

by Brandon Sanderson

Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is 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 twenty 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.

About the author

I’m Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers.

The release of Wind and Truth in December 2024—the fifth and final book in the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series—marks a significant milestone for me. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it’s the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be. Now is a great time to get into the Stormlight Archive since the first arc, which begins with Way of Kings, is complete.

During our crowdfunding campaign for the leatherbound edition of Words of Radiance, I announced a fifth Secret Project called Isles of the Emberdark, which came out in the summer of 2025. Coming December 2025 is Tailored Realities, my non-Cosmere short story collection featuring the new novella Moment Zero.

Defiant, the fourth and final volume of the series that started with Skyward in 2018, came out in November 2023, capping an already book-filled year that saw the releases of all four Secret Projects: Tress of the Emerald Sea, The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and The Sunlit Man. These four books were all initially offered to backers of the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time.

November 2022 saw the release of The Lost Metal, the seventh volume in the Mistborn saga, and the final volume of the Mistborn Era Two featuring Wax & Wayne. Now that the first arc of the Stormlight Archive is wrapped up, I’ve started writing the third era of Mistborn in 2025.

Most readers have noticed that my adult fantasy novels are in a connected universe called the Cosmere. This includes The Stormlight Archive, both Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, four of the five Secret Projects, and various novellas, including The Emperor’s Soul, which won a Hugo Award in 2013. In November 2016 all of the existing Cosmere short fiction was released in one volume called Arcanum Unbounded. If you’ve read all of my adult fantasy novels and want to see some behind-the-scenes information, that collection is a must-read.

I also have three YA series: The Rithmatist (currently at one book), The Reckoners (a trilogy beginning with Steelheart), and Skyward. For young readers I also have my humorous series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians, which had its final book, Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians, released in 2022. Many of my adult readers enjoy all of those books as well, and many of my YA readers enjoy my adult books, usually starting with Mistborn.

Additionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side. These include the three stories in Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. These two novellas are also featured in 2025’s Tailored Realities. There’s a lot of material to go around!

Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart, The Emperor’s Soul, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you’re already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings.

I was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan’s notes.

Sample chapters from all of my books are available at brandonsanderson.com—and check out the rest of my site for chapter-by-chapter annotations, deleted scenes, and more.

Second read via GraphicAudio: The Alloy of Law is even better than the first time around.

Just a few thoughts on this 8-hour dramatized adaptation: Let it be known I have a crush on Wax now; that voice actor (Chris Genebach) makes him sound like hot stuff.

Also happy to note the same brilliant narrator is used as in the previous Mistborn productions (Terence Aselford) and Wayne‘s voice is done by Elend‘s voice actor (Bradley Smith) - though the quality of voice is totally different. The actor really captures Wayne‘s easy-going nature and tops it off with a heavy Irish accent. (Much unlike Elend‘s serious nature.) So if you (dis)liked Elend‘s voice before, you will have to re-evaluate here.

Once again, I cannot but urge you to listen to these adaptations. Live your favorite stories and dicover new favorites with them!

I think this was my ninth Sanderson novel and this was the most fun of them all!
It's a lot different than the Mistborn Trilogy. It's much more light-hearted and not so intense. I love how allomancy and feruchemy have evloved and not the same as it was. I also really loved Wayne.
That is all. For now.

4 - 4.5 stars

After some disappointing Sanderson books, this book which I was sure I wouldn't like because it's more modern... came to save the day!

The plot itself isn't something grand like Era 1 or Stormlight Archives, but it sets the mood for this new era in such a nice way! I had started thinking that maybe sci-fi with fantasy was not my thing after The Sunlit Man and The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, but it turns out that it was just the books, cause this balance of fantasy with modern weapons and steampunk vibe worked GREAT! The lore might be minimal (and as always, more apparent at the end of it) and it's a self-contained story that acts as a prologue for what is to come, but it works juuust fine.

But what truly shines here... is the characters! Wax is more or less your token main character who's brave, smart-ish with a moral compass, but his chemistry with Wayne and Marasi is ENORMOUS. Wayne is one of the funniest characters I've read in a while and he managed to never annoy me even when he repeated his jokes. He was just THAT good! And the audiobook gave him justice by offering this... country-pumpkin-kind-of accent, which I loved! Truly, he's a gem and I'd read anything that has him in it! Marasi doesn't have something special, but she is pretty distinct as a character and likeable!

Worth of note is the villain of this book, who is used as a kind of juxtaposition to Kelsier. What would happen if Kelsier had no good friends and someone found him at his lowest and took advantage of his abilities? Would he have turned a bit similar? He did have ideas of grandeur and his own sense of justice, but the people around him grounded him, something our villain didn't, really. Makes you think a bit and that is why I like this villain even if he was nothing special.

All in all, a great starting book for Era 2. I can only hope the rest will be as strong!

True Wonderer
5/5 Stars, "Boy oh Boy oh Boy!"

“That hat looks ridiculous.”
“Fortunately, I can change hats,” Wayne said, “while you, sir, are stuck with that face.” ~Brandon Sanderson

I am definitely using that line, some day, some time, I will find an opportunity and use that line. The Mistborn series, ahhh these books! The final empire, The well.. & The hero of ages, and now this! My fantasy crazed heart could explode with gratitude for the man. Brandon Sanderson has done something so bizarre that I initially thought to be impossible, to make another totally, unbelievably, awesome fantasy series based on the world from his previous fantasy series.

The grit of the wild west, the intricately marvelous magic system, the strong background flavor of the previous series palpable in its pages and the wit & humor at an hilariously all time high. I enjoyed this immensely, oh so very much and Mr. Sanderson has yet again proved that he is an absolute master in fantasy story telling.

I am already a fan of Mr. Sanderson's writing, of his awesome capacity to link the plot into knots which comes undone with a flourish at the right time, and with his brilliance of creating highly likable and enjoyable characters. All within a new timeline, The Old West Era (from 1865 - 1895 of our time) and the 300's for the Mistborn's new world. The brilliance of it all is just too much. As to its tone, it is obviously lighter than the Final Empire, how could it not be, the whole point of the new world was the total upheaval of the old one.

I must digress a bit here, what doubled my enjoyment of the story was Graphic Audio's brilliant performance of it as an audiobook. They did an excellent job with the characters voices and the background score and all the little additions of gun-shots and background noises . Typically I don't read audio-books as then I am beholden to their pace rather than my own. But here, as the book is not that big, 332 pages or 7-8 hours of audio, it was paced just right, with all the touches and brush strokes, that you just close your eyes and get lost in the world of 'Elendel' immediately.

And this is just the beginning, I am very much looking forward to the rest two books. The action in this book was phenomenal, with the rough machismo & wit of the wild west coupled with the oh so creative use of Mistborn magic, will always make you grin in every combat sequence. Also, the character of 'Wayne', he was the heart of the book, the light-hearted thief cum law man, he single-handedly made the book fun and delightful. Which is just as well because the protagonist 'Wax' is the troubled darkness in this dark-light duo combo. Their chemistry is spot on. And of-course the antagonist, 'Miles', a damn well worthy adversary, hell of a bad guy.

So, the first thing I did when I picked this up, was download the map of 'Elendel' , (which is absolutely brilliant btw), plugged in my headphones and got lost in a world that I dearly missed. This is the ultimate escape in a wonderful and enjoyable realm, I mean come-on, Pistols, bang-bang, and magic. Seriously, I can't say the word brilliant enough.

So, I am off to the second one, pick this up with your eyes closed, this would be worth it, as it has everything that you hope for in a good epic fantasy. Waist coats and bowler hats all the way my friends. To end with one of Wayne's witty philosophical pearls about thinking only when things are simple : -

“The rest of the time, I don't do so much thinkin'. 'Cuz if I did, I'd go running back to where things is simple. You see?”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Alloy of Law

Love this series! Shorter and simpler than the original Mistborn trilogy, but so much fun! The western-style train robbery story of this first novel is fun and action-packed! I also love Wax and Wayne and their hilarious banter.

[Chase Buchanan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fast-paced read, especially for Sanderson. Mistborn is successfully translated into a magic and guns thriller.

The Graphic Audio production is outstanding, maybe the best I’ve heard from them. The casting is fantastic.

[erebus K Rushworth · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first book of the second trilogy of Mistborn (The Wax & Wayne series) sees a civilization that has embraced the use of firearms and gunpowder. Gone are the days of mining by hand, and now we have a whole 1870s aesthetic with Wild West vigilantes and ruffians, locomotives and bowler hats.

Our protagonist, Waxillium Ladrian, is a "Twinborn" Allomamancer/Feruchemist (which I find really funny, because as an Audiobook listener I have to look up the spelling of such things). As both these abilities are genetic it is immediately clear that we are in a world distantly removed from events of the Final Empire saga in which human lines were artificially kept separate and are not allowed to develop new technologies or fashions. For those familiar with the first trilogy, in the GraphicAudio production, the voice-acting nudges the identity of the god Harmony from implicit to obvious.

References are all there to keep the fans happy; street names and places in the capital city remind us of characters from previous books. I'm not sure how appealing it would be to be launched into this setting without a grounding in the first story. The three magical systems in the Mistborn sagas were teased out over a trilogy, and starting your journey in this 4th book might be like.. skipping the tutorial. As is Sanderson's style, there are constant small reminders of how these things work, and why people are doing things all the way through.. which might make it easier to follow if you aren't ..marathoning them all like I am. It's a little clunky, but makes the story more accessible.

Different powers are introduced here, which makes for some cool twists in how the main characters interact with others. The second character, Wayne, is a master of disguise, a kleptomaniac, and gun shy, which means that the main guy gets all the glory and his right-hand man has to do all the sneaky (charisma rolls) bluffing and convincing people, to give him information.

I have always been 100% forthright about my disinterest in battles and it's really beginning to drag for me. As Sanderson recounted in an interview I saw online, he could watch Jackie Chan for hours but reading a constant blow-by-blow account of action scenes gets really dull. The difference between pseudo-cinematic sword / knife duels and coin fights, gets a shake-up in this rendition by adding a gun-fu element, but I am not cool with Wax's fanboyish gun love and the glorification of a the bang-bang Wild-West type culture of train heists and killing off baddies. Countering the excitement with a reminder every now and then that things can get traumatic, doesn't lessen the fact that this story is a glorification of gun battles. Character growth is cool, and I endured the empire building and wars in the previous saga, but I'm running low on energy for justification of "having fun" shooting things.

Having a sidekick fangirl who is a criminal psychologist and has a rifle as weapon of choice gives me Harley Quinn vibes, and as Wax stays up all night being a sole heir, hobbyist scientist, vigilante crime-fighting, millionaire nobleman (with a hoity-toity butler)... I guess that makes him Batman... but does that make Wayne, Robin? or the Joker ... (don't overthink it)

Reread #1: So much fun!

---

I don't know how to rate this book. When I started reading it, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed myself immensely. It was quick, it was funny, and I liked the characters. But as the story progressed, some things started to get on my nerves. Mainly, hero worship. Lady Marasi seemed to be an interesting character, a combination of wits and femininity (and I mean it in the best way; her proclamation that she loved studying law and catching criminals, but she wouldn't like to go to the Roughs because she loves pretty clothes and perfumes... it was refreshing to see, not every strong female character has to be a tomboy!), but her puppy eyes and long monologues about how Wax is "the most powerful, the most capable" of men... Bleah. If they ever become a pair in the series, I won't continue reading.

Steris, on the other hand, I fell in love with. I hope she plays a more prominent role in future books.

Yes, I want to continue reading. Yes, I will probably start right away. The overarching plot excites me enough.

[Milan Žila · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book was fine but it just wasn't for me. I'm not a fan of westerns and the mandatory romances in Sanderson's work are starting to become a bit boring.

The good stuff was there: interesting worldbuilding, altering the magic system for the modern age, some twists along the way. The action was fine but not compared to the original Mistborn trilogy.

It somehow didn't click together well for me. The religious parts felt too preachy and I felt the author is trying to push his message across. But maybe I'm imagining things.

Characters were fine even though they didn't progress much or at all through the story.

I can't say I didn't like it nor can I say I enjoyed it. It was fine and maybe I will give the next one a try.

I listened to this book as Graphic Audio and the production was very good as is usual for their work.

[Guillaume Rho · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so happy to be back in the world of Mistborn! I was approaching this book with some reluctance, as there doesn’t seem to be as much adoration for it as with the original trilogy. I listened to the full-cast audio version and it was sensational! This is such an action-packed book, with memorable characters, who only became better thanks to the fantastic voice acting.

Speaking of characters, Wayne is not an absolute favorite – not only from this book, not simply from Sanderson in general, but in all fantasy! He is so quirky and funny, but also has a deep side with a serious backstory. And I love his magic power. I WILL DIE FOR WAYNE!

The banter was on point, the action was gripping and I’m so excited to see how the world and the magic have changed in the 300 years since the first trilogy.

[Stephen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Coming from Mistborn Era 1, this was of course quite a change. Instead of fantasy on an epic scale, this is a (somewhat) more grounded detective story.
I actually liked how the setting progressed since Era 1. Again, the "magic system" was slightly extended and varied enough to be novel, while still using what was previously established. Especially the advances in technology make for interesting new possibilities.

The characters are alright. There is one character I initially feared might get on my nerves, whom I ended up actually liking.
In the context of Graphic Audios, it can initially be a bit confusing to hear voices from Era 1 speak completely different characters, but after a short time I fully got used to the new characters. Great work by the voice actors!

Compared to Era 1, this story is much shorter, but that actually felt refreshing. If you want more Mistborn, but slightly different than before, this is a good continuation.

[Clarisse · Rating 4 out of 5]

I LOVE THE AUDIOBOOK TO BITS AND PIECES OH MY GOODNESS. I wish Graphic Audio’s audiobooks were easier to have access to and maybe more budget-friendly... They’re amazing! The production is superb and all the sounds plus the voice acting truly make the story come alive! I can’t say enough praises (and I totally get the price tag but I can’t buy many)! I especially love the voice actor for Wayne. He made Wayne my favorite character in fact.

On to the story, this has all the usual amazingness of the Mistborn world except fast forwarded to a society on the brink of modernism. The plot is simple. I feel that this book serves more as an introduction to the new era with an easy-to-understand story attached. You get all I like all the action and wit and sarcasm you could ask for though. Sanderson is too good at these things. I liked the ideas he explored in this novel regarding social divide because they all ring too true. Thank God Allomancy doesn’t really exist in the world or else this planet is truly doomed.

I have been missing the Mistborn world but this wasn’t as satisfying as the original series. I love the characters there too much. But this series has its own charms. I like the Western element and how Sanderson adapted guns into the story. So seamlessly done! The characters are also interesting although maybe not as much the original cast, with the exception of Wayne lol. He is so much fun! I’m just super iffy about the hints of romance between Wax and Marasi. I don’t like it when characters have these huge age gaps. I guess that’s why I wasn’t convinced with the attraction they supposedly feel towards each other. It doesn’t help that I don’t like Marasi.

Anyway, this satisfied my Mistborn itch somewhat, but I reckon it’s time to move on to a new Sanderson universe.

With the final instalment of Mistborn Era 2 being released in a few months, this felt like a good opportunity to reread the series and refresh my memory.

The first time I read AOL I had just finished the original trilogy and devoured the Stormlight Archive. Sadly the 2nd era mistborn didn't capture the scale and epicness of which I loved from those series and I might have unfairly compared them. Upon reflection, and enough time between reading the series, I can appreciate it by itself. With the smaller cast and scale the story feels more personal. Having an already established magic system, Sando is able to craft a fast paced, exciting police procedural while also building on the world and magic that we love from the first era. Wax and Wayne are enjoyable characters although slightly archetypal in this first volume. What I enjoy was Sanderson musing on the law, reminding me of Pratchett's City Watch books.

What really aided my enjoyment this time round was that I listened to the Graphic Audio production - which was fully voice acted, with an original score and sound effects. The performances gave the characters an added level of personality. Combined helped the tone and atmosphere of any given scene. A good example of how it changed my opinion of a character is in Wayne, I voiced him as a whinny and annoying Disney sidekick but the GA version came off as a more sardonic Northants irish rouge a la Colin Ferrel in In Bruge. Somuch so, that now I'll be voicing him like this when I read The Lost Metal.

It's worth noting that I'm not normally a fan of audiobooks as I find my mind easily wanders. The GA version, I feel, are more engaging. With just under 3 month until The Lost Metal, I will be listening to the GA versions of Shadows of Self and Bands of Mourning which I recall enjoying much more that Alloy.

Read in 2023: 3 stars
Upon rereading, I don't think the book is as good as the first time I read it. Looking past the great Graphic Audio production westerns aren't really my thing and although the action was great I now prefer more politically driven stories in fantasy. I already loved that in 2017, as I already enjoyed slower-paced and lower-action books back then. But in ways that's even more the case now. Or maybe it's just the shooting and chasing people on train cars, that could be it too.

I also still basically agree with my previous review but I want to add that I can definitely see the people who think Wayne's annoying. At the start of the book I thought he was funny, or at least entertaining to read, but as the book went on his comments went from funny to inappropriate. Mainly inappropriate for time and location, but also just inappropriate and discomforting to varying degrees. I feel like this might not change in the coming books since it's a decent chunk of what makes his character his character.

(Original review from 2017)
4.75 stars.

wow, this book is filled with action and some good statements to let you think.
These characters deserve all the love, I found them to be way more enjoyable and relatable than the original cast. The 'cameo' with Sazed (now called Harmony) was also very nice. Taking questions very literally. I loved it.
This book was in my opinion also way funnier than the previous trilogy which was strengthened by my not expecting anything in particular from this story.
Again the audio quality and experience were amazing as well.

And this ending, I would say sublime. A combination of a satisfying ending to a story with an amazing cliffhanger.

When there is some spare time, the next book will follow.

The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson & Audio by Graphic Audio
*****5*****

Where do I even begin with something like this, other than to say it's awesome and you should read it?

Taking the setting and magics from the first Mistborn series and throwing it 300 years into the future to create a sort of Steampunk Urban Fantasy cross breed was, pure and simple, sheer genius. The story and feel of the book is much less dark and (so far) intricate than the original trilogy but is none the worse for it.

Alloy of Law follows Waxillium Ladrian, Lord-turned-Roughs-lawman-turned-Lord again, but he can't leave his past behind him, so when his friend Wayne comes calling and his future fiance is kidnapped, he takes up his arms (along with his finace's cousin Marisi's help) and hunts down the "bad guys."

I loved this book. Everything about it, the setting, the characters, the advance into the future and (importantly) the audio production. Huge props to Graphic Audio for bringing full and vibrant life to this production. I highly recommend listening to this production. (The best part? This particular book was done in one production rather than three like most of their books so you're only paying a third of the price)

On to Shadows of Self *claps hands in excitement*

Not my favourite of the series this far, but is a great read no doubt.

2026 Reread: (May contain spoilers)
Ive decided to reread era two of Mistborn to kick off the year. I really love a few of the characters in this book (Wayne, Merisi, others). I love the mix of fantasy and more modern concepts like pistols and shotguns. When I first read The Final Empire I thought to myself, I bet Allomancy would be interesting in a world with bullets flying around.

Coming back to the series I’ve gone from 3 ⭐️ to 4 ⭐️.

I remember last time thinking this book was really missing something. I now know that it’s missing a whole lot of my favorite character in the series, Steris. Going into the book knowing her character so much better really made this story much better for me. I also can’t get enough of Wayne. He is always hilarious, but also such an interesting and unique character. I love the way he meticulously pieces together his accents, his costumes and his dueling canes.

Ive not actually read any Sherlock Homes. But I’ve consumed enough media pertaining to the stories to say that Wax and Wayne are such a fun take on a buddy cop/Sherlock & Watson relationship.

This is also a return to my all time favorite magic system, Allomancy. The ability to consume metals and “burn” them within your system to give you different effects.

[J. Griff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this second series of Mistborn much better than the first trilogy, the western/steampunk style of the world appeals to me so much more versus the Final Empire era. I don't know if its the fact that I can relate more with Wax & Wayne than I can with Kelsior, Vin & Elend. Alloy of Law (AoL) does come off a lackluster as it doesn't have the world building explained to you like it did in the Final Empire, but I think that was due to AoL was meant to be a stand alone book that was meant to just be a fun light hearted adventure story. This type of writing doesn't seem to be in Sanderson's wheel house of story telling. He excels in epic fantasy adventure. I do enjoy the fact that Sanderson combined Allomancy with Pharocemy (sp??). The banter between Wax & Wayne then later Marasi adds to it is just a fun exchange. As the series goes you will definitely see more character growth in these characters. There is plenty of action & the pacing is just as fast as the action is. The world itself isn't described well, but don't let that detract you as it allows you to form your own mental image of this cross between Victorian London & the American wild west.

I strongly recommend AoL & the other 2 books in this series.

I had heard mixed reviews of Mistborn Era 2, but frankly I enjoyed Alloy of Law as much as the first trilogy, although for very different reasons. Much lighter (and shorter), Alloy of Law was just pure fun. And the Graphic Audio production was fantastic. I also enjoyed seeing Sanderson start to stretch out a bit with some diversity, including a queer character. Hoping to see more of her in future books.

[Audio Athena · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book felt so different in tone from the first three in the Mistborn series. It was more like a Western/Steam Punk/Who Done It crime adventure that just happened to be set in the Mistborn universe. It suffered from the same issues 1 thu 3 had, in that it alternated between a lot of explaining the magic system and a lot of punch 'em up fight scenes.

I dunno if I was as invested in this as the Mistborn trilogy. It was alright to me. It probably won't make sense if you don't go through the trilogy first
