Двурождённые. Сплав закона. Тени истины. Браслеты Скорби

Pure Sanderson. This book blends the well constructed world of the Mistborn with a refreshing new world very akin to a Western. And creates two fun characters with unique personalities to fill it out. Not content with creating two cowboys with magic powers, he creates some additional supporting characters that are intersting, strong, smart, and nuanced. No mere ornaments to the main players.

All in all, if you like Sanderson, you'll like these books.

What a great idea, to jump a few hundred years ahead for a "steampunk Mistborn" that explores how this system of magic interacts with nascent industrial development (although that mostly was expressed by depicting what the swooping fights of the original books would become with the presence and use of firearms). I'm looking forward to the next few books in this series, although I'll be reading some of his other books first, and I'd like to see more fantasy writers do this, taking it into the electronic age as well. And it was fun to have beloved characters from the original trilogy appear in the form of place names and omnipotent interference in the events of the plot. The new characters are still pretty one-note, though.

Definitely a nice addition to the saga as well as a very good read. Almost has a Wild West meets Sherlock Holmes fell to it. I hope to read more adventures with Lord Waxillium. :)
