" A really well written story by Sanderson. Strong elements of fantasy with Western and detective novel stirred in. The characters are excellent and the interaction between Wax and Wayne is good. Wayne is a good, funny character. I felt like the ending fizzled a little, and it might as well have been a giant neon sign that says SEQUEL COMING. But, Sanderson writes well, so I'll look forward to it. Reading the original Mistborn trilogy is not strictly necessary to enjoy this novel, but it helps. Recommended for fans fantasy, especially those who also enjoy mysteries and/or Westerns. "
