The Alloy of Law: A Mistborn Novel

Product Information

If you enjoyed his narration in the original trilogy, you will not be disappointed; he is consistently excellent in all of the audiobooks I have listened to him in.

Take Me Instead: Enraged at the Vanishers taking two young women as hostages, a retired constable vehemently demands to be taken instead. He gets shot. A bendalloy Ferring is known as a Subsumer. Bendalloy is used to store nutrition and calories. While filling a bendalloymind, a Subsumer is able to eat large quantities of food without becoming full. Tapping such a metalmind will allow the user to go without food. A separate bendalloymind can be used to store fluid intake. [3] Compounding [ edit ] Magic Pants: Miles sets off dynamite in his hand to escape a net. His shirt is destroyed, but his pants survive.

Wayne speaks with Wax while Steris and Lord Harms are not around - Marasi had recognised him through his waiter's disguise, having attended the previous meeting at Wax's house with her cousin and uncle where he impersonated Wax's uncle on his mother's side. They each confirm their suspicions to the link shared by the Vanishers' kidnappings, right before the ballroom is invaded by the Vanishers themselves.

There, they find clues to the nature of the Vanishers' operations and a strong indicator as to who's leading them. Miles Dagouter, or Miles "Hundredlives" as he's known. Marasi's Allomantic power as a Pulser becomes clear and Wax attempts to console her rather bitter feelings towards her power. Having read all of Sanderson’s works, I can still say that he keeps surprising me. The foreword was a prelude for this surprise already, because he mentioned that he intended to write two more trilogies for the world of Scadrial, with the Alloy of Law not being one of them, since it’s only a side story. Yet, the book has an open ending; so we can expect even more novels set in this world, which is my favourite by a large margin (the Metallic Arts are just too amazing); definitely no complaints here! His boundless creativity and sense of realism have pushed him to the top of my favourite writer’s list in no time and I recommend him wholeheartedly to any who appreciates the art of secondary creation. Oh, and he’s funny. Wayne is the only person to whom Steris does not speak formally, often calling him an idiot. Wayne also does not treat Steris nicely, to the point that Wax asks him to stop. After several years of this banter, Steris and Wayne begin to accept each other, each realizing the talents of the other. [expand] Marasi Colms [ edit ]

Most Allomancers didn’t use whiskey in their metal vials. Most Allomancers were missing out on a perfect opportunity. He smiled as his internal steel reserves were restored; then he flared the metal and launched himself. Mist swirled beneath him. It seemed almost playful. He looked upward, deciding his next step. His steel revealed lines of blue to nearby sources of metal, many of which were the structure’s frame. Pushing on any of them would send him away from the building. The Hope of Elantris · The Emperor's Soul · Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell · Sixth of the Dusk) He dropped a bullet casing and launched himself high into the air, then landed atop the building across the street from the mansion. He glanced over his shoulder at it, the windows ablaze in the evening dark. What kind of rumors was he going to start, vanishing from the balcony like that? Well-Intentioned Extremist: Miles thinks of himself as one, as he believes he's fighting the "real" criminals, aka the aristocrats.Ranette provides Wax with a set of Hazekiller rounds and a new gun - a prototype that she names "Vindication" after the Ascendant Warrior. Sending Wayne and Marasi on supply runs, Wax sits down to plot where the Vanishers will strike next. The Tekiel's Breaknaught seems the prime target and it is set to make it's maiden trip the following day. With a craftily planned distraction, Wax manages to slip aboard the Breaknaught and it sets off with him inside. When they get to their hotel, Steris gives the owner Aunt Gin a list of things that might happen to her hotel. The list includes things like shoot outs and hostage situations, as well as events that have a very small chance of happening, such as a cattle stampede through the lobby. [28] Anti-Magic: Aluminum acts as anti-magic to allomancy, resisting its effects. This leads to Aluminum being highly valued resource worth stealing.

Well, they already knew he was Twinborn—that was a matter of public record. His disappearance wasn’t going to do much to help patch his family’s reputation. For the moment, he didn’t care. He’d spent almost every evening since his return to the city at one social function or another, and this was the first misty night in weeks. Defying decorum, Wax pushed his way through the room’s enormous glass double doors and stepped out onto the mansion’s grand balcony. There, he finally felt like he could breathe again. Five months after the death of Lessie, Wax has given up the role as peacekeeper, and returned to Elendel, where after the death of his uncle and sister (who were involved in a carriage accident), he has become the head of his house. Due to his uncle's inadequate financial operations, Wax is trying to save House Ladrian from bankruptcy. The only way to do it is to find a suitable high-born lady from a financially stable house to marry. Later, when Steris learns that she, Marasi, Wayne, and Wax are going to stop Suit and recover a spike that was taken from a kandra named ReLuur, Steris accompanies Wax after freaking out about how she needed to do things like make lists. [24]FIVE MONTHS LATER, WAX WALKED through the decorated rooms of a large, lively party, passing men in dark suits with tailcoats and women in colorful dresses with narrow waists and lots of folds through long pleated skirts. They called him “Lord Waxillium” or “Lord Ladrian” when they spoke to him. Steris was deliberately written as autistic; Brandon felt like he did a poor job representing people on the spectrum with Adien in Elantris, and so she and Renarin were written partially in an attempt to correct that. [40] Steris at first refused to admit that she loved Wax, then admits that she does love him and thinks it's foolish. [36] Waxillium Ladrian is a House Lord, a Twinborn who can Push with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. He’s our hero, our main protagonist, though Sanderson does allow us to ride awhile with a couple of other characters who are equally intriguing and fascinating.

Wax discovers that the person who had recruited Miles in the first place is the presumed dead Lord Edwarn Ladrian, Wax's uncle, who still holds the other kidnapped women. Edwarn is connected to a shadowy organization known as the Set, and has used the robberies to commit profitable insurance fraud. Wax and Wayne decide that they will stay in Elendel and try to stop Lord Edwarn and his organization from fulfilling their plans. Miles is stripped of his metalminds and publicly executed. Marasi is approached by Ironeyes (Marsh, now revered as Death himself) and given a mysterious book. This article is still missing information. Please help The Coppermind by expanding it.

Magic A Is Magic A: As in the original Mistborn Trilogy, the magic is very clearly defined. Each Allomantic or Feruchemical effect is very clearly defined and functions the same always. What metals can be burned by individuals is clearly defined. The only unique variation to this, Miles's ability to burn gold to heal due to him possessing both gold Allomancy and gold Feruchemy, which compound off of each other, is treated as a simple unique effect of two abilities feeding off of each other, and was always part of the world, if not mentioned before - mostly because apart from the Lord Ruler himself there were no people combining these two types of abilities.
