Why read it?
1 author picked The Alloy of Law as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book combined the old west with a very thought-out magic system that enhanced the setting. The humor was sometimes tear-drawingly funny for me.

It also had moments of monumental exercises of power as well as monumental limits on powers complicating the storyline.
From Luke's list on the most developed mechanical magic systems.
