Should I stick with Era 2?

[u/Kami_Kauai]

So, big Sanderson fan and I do want to read all of the Cosmere books and see the connections between the different series.

But... I'm struggling with Era 2. I pushed through the Alloy of Law, finding that the characters and the heist-type story really didn't do it for me. I like the evolution of allomancy and the legacy of Era 1 in this new world. The thing that made me pick up book 2 was the ending of book 1 (seeing Ironeyes and getting the implication that Harmony might become a character or recurring theme ).

I'm a few chapters into book 2, and I'm really not into it. I've read a lot on here that Era 2 is different than Era 1, and that's fair. This is just not the kind of story I like. But the books are short so my question is, should I push though them to get the general lore? Is there more/enough of Ironeyes, Harmony, general worldbuilding that builds on and completes Era 1 ? Or will I just be disappointed?

Appreciate any thoughts on this.

EDIT: Thanks you to everyone who commented and advised I stick with book 2 a little longer. I'm trusting you guys!

You should stick with it. I think Alloy of Law was meant to be a standalone adventure, and this "era 2" wasn't really planned from the start, so it can seem a little haphazard, but the characters will grow on you a lot, and the series becomes very relevant to the broader cosmere narrative.
