Do you have to have read the other Mistborn books before reading this? Or would I be spoiled if I started and/or read this after the very first book?

how is this series compared to Mistborn?

Jana (Nikki) This series is different from the original trilogy, for sure. It has more of a "western" vibe.

But it still has all the charms of the original trilogy -- great characters, same magic system (but it's evolving!), fantastic worldbuilding, and great plots (though more crime-fighting-ish and less of the high-fantasy world-saving variety).

I wanted to correct an earlier answer, though: The Alloy of Law isn't (technically) part of the Alloy-era trilogy. AoL starts the Alloy-era arc, but the official trilogy is Shadows of Self, The Bands of Mourning (Jan 2016), and The Lost Metal (2017). There are two more Mistborn trilogies to come after this one: one set in a time similar to the 1980s, and a far-future 'space opera'-type trilogy (with travel between planets). :)(less)

Sazed is in the book as he should be and Sanderson believes in utilizing other characters in his books, so you never know who you are going to meet in the worlds he builds. This is the Cosmere and he is killing it. I will continue to happily give him support by buying his books.(less)
