how is this series compared to Mistborn?

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)
