This is the first book in the second era of the Mistborn series. It’s set with an early 1900s type of technology, most notably with the introduction of guns to Scadrial. This book introduces the new main characters, Wax and Wayne, lawmen from out in the country drawn back to the city when Wax must take over as the lord of his house. They must solve the mystery of heists involving the contents of rail cars disappearing without the car being opened. I enjoyed this, although the tone is very different from the first trilogy. It took me a while to get used to the presence of guns and automobiles. There are parts of the overarching story, but in some ways this feels like a standalone to introduce the new characters and setting.
