Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.
Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice.
One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Bem surpreso

Não esperava gostar tanto desse livro. 👀
Claro que minhas maiores ressalvas eram com a mudança dos personagens, o fato de se passar em um mundo mais moderno que, para mim, faz sentido, já que o mundo não evoluía na tecnologia porque o Senhor Soberano preferia e achava mais fácil de controlar assim. Maaaaaaas me surpreendeu muuuuito!

No início, achei meio parado, mas me pegou muito a ideia de usar alomancia e feruquemia (que é o que eu mais gosto dos poderes) e essa pegada de investigação meio Sherlock Holmes, somada com os poderes.
Outra coisa ótima para mim foram as interações do Wax com o Wayne, o jeito que o Wax se entrega para o trabalho e, claro, o jeito de pensar do Wayne, que me arrancou ótimas risadas kkkkkkk
A resolução também foi satisfatória, e agora estou extremamente curioso para o próximo livro.
