I've just read this for the first time.
It is one thing I don't understand. How can people track their linage back to Elend? Didn't he and Vin die without producing heirs? Or have I misunderstood who Lord Mistborn is?

Interestingly, one of our members here was a technical adviser for Brandon. Doneavan (Gaidin) helped with firearms and ballistics knowledge.

I had a GREAT picture from 10th Anni of Don squeeing when he was asked.... it was pretty fun!

That... is REALLY freaking cool.

I just read this a few weeks ago. Did anyone else imagine Amy Fowler (from Big Bang Theory) whenever they read about Steris? :laugh:

I agree! I want more of this!

Sanderson is really one of the best fantasy authors out there :)

I just finished this book about 15 min ago and as usual Brandon did an amazing job.

I like the idea of twinborns.

No, I think Sanderson have said that Alloy of Law is just a single novella...

i actually enjoyed the book. it was kinda steampunky. i would have liked to see a little bit more of the original players ( albeit in the form of the religion or as deities or the theology- i get they are long, long dead) .

I really loved this book, it marked a return in my opinion to the pace and enjoyable characters of the first mistborn book without all the self doubt and posturing of the 2nd and third. Hoping the next ones are as good.
