"Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre." --Library Journal, starred review "Part Sherlock Holmes, Part X-Men, this exciting stand-alone adventure is full of close shaves, shootouts, and witty banter." --Publishers Weekly "Rive with laugh-out-loud moments, religious and philosophical ponderings, and plenty of crime-fighting action, this book fits nicely in any gun-holster." --Booklist on The Alloy of Law "An engaging and fun romp of a read. The characters really shine." --RT Book Reviews on The Alloy of Law "Sanderson's fresh ideas on the source and employment of magic are both arresting and original." --Kirkus Reviews on The Alloy of Law "[The Hero of Ages] brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax.... Sanderson's saga of consequences offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith, and responsibility." --Publishers Weekly "Sanderson is an evil genius. There is simply no other way to describe what he's managed to pull off in this transcendent final volume of his Mistborn trilogy." --RT Book Reviews (Gold Medal, Top Pick!) on The Hero of Ages "Mistborn utilizes a well thought-out system of magic. It also has a great cast of believable characters, a plausible world, an intriguing political system and, despite being the first book of a trilogy, a very satisfying ending. Highly recommended to anyone hungry for a good read." --Robin Hobb " It's rare for a fiction writer to have much understanding of how leadership works and how love really takes root in the human heart. Sanderson is astonishingly wise." --Orson Scott Card
