What this book is about
The sixth Mistborn novel follows Wax, Wayne, and Marasi as they pursue Wax's brother-in-law to the south, where a new culture and a device that could rewrite the world's power balance await. Sanderson's allomancy action sequences are satisfying; the mythology expands in surprising directions. Clean content throughout; appropriate for all ages.
