The original books if feel have less action, mainly in the second and third. While i find the second era more action filled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are unlikely to see your response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stormfather Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I think it's odd that people are rating the book based on how much action it had. Alloy of law did not have a particularly large amount of action, but that's because most of the space has to be used to explain the new era. The new era along with introducing feruchemists commonly and new allomancy makes this one of my favourite books. The end is awesome with the huge firefight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sibling Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 On 12/14/2021 at 11:54 AM, Frustration said: I would rather read AoL than ES I mean some people just don't like novellas/short stuff as much. Personally, I think that they're both great but I'm genuinely useless in these kinds of threads because of my immediate instinct to defend any of Brandon's works purely out of principle, which I know is silly but I get very defensive. I think that the thing about Alloy of Law is that it's so different from the original trilogy that if you read it right afterwards it can be a bit jarring. The style and the plot is s completely different, when I first read it I was shocked. It definitely grew on me though. Slow moving books or books without much of a plot have never really bothered me. When the author is good, I just trust that something cool is coming and use the slow parts as a way to get to know the characters and the world. I guess the reason I like AoL is because it's a new take on an awesome world, but I understand if it's not somebodies favourite. It is a little bit sad that the world has changed so much. Reading Era 2 feels like saying goodbye to Era 1, which I never want to do because I love Era 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
