After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn't the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere—Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial . . . at any cost. Metallic Arts ( Allomancy, Feruchemy, Hemalurgy) · Metalborn · Mistborn · Misting · Savant · Ferring · Twinborn · Compounding · Atium · Lerasium · Harmonium · Trellium Writing a spoiler-free review for The Lost Metal is not an easy task, to say the least, for me. Sanderson has mentioned for a while now that The Lost Metal will be THE book in the entire Cosmere (so far) that features the biggest Cosmere crossovers and connections yet. And he's not joking about this. Even the main plot in The Lost Metal involves characters and beings from other worlds and series beyond Scadrial, the world where Mistborn Saga take place. This review will be as spoiler-free as possible, but I will mention a few terms and organizations from other series here. This is unavoidable. We're almost halfway through the Cosmere timelines so far. Sanderson and his grand vision can't wait for readers to catch up to reading his books. And to be fair, it has been sixteen years since Mistborn: The Final Empire was first released. No spoiler for Mistborn Saga in this review, but I sincerely hope you're familiar with the Cosmere before reading this review or even The Lost Metal. With that in mind, first, let me answer the three most frequently asked questions in this review. I assume these are what most readers are interested in anyway. Con el metal perdido damos cierre a la segunda era de nacidos de la bruma, era que adoré por sus personajes, su comedia y su ambientación. Voy a extrañar muchísimo esta etapa del Cosmere. Más de 10 años después de la publicación de "Aleación de ley" nos llega el esperado cierre de la Segunda Era de Mistborn, ese que pone punto y final a las aventuras de Wax, Wayne y Marasi. Manteniendo el tan característico tono humorístico de la saga y la extraordinaria química entre sus personajes, Sanderson pone fin a una trama a la vez que nos deja entrever el comienzo de algo muchísimo mayor.

Six years following The Bands of Mourning, Waxillium Ladrian has retired from his lawman career, and Wayne has become a full constable in Elendel law enforcement, serving under Marasi who has been promoted to detective. Wax, aided by his wife Steris (with whom he has two young children, Maxillium and Tindwyl), has become a prominent figure in Elendel politics, known as the 'Lawman Senator of the Roughs'. Since the discovery of the Southern Scadrials during the quest for the Bands of Mourning, diplomatic relations have been established with its most prominent nation, the Malwish Consortium. However, relations between the north and south remain tense, as do those between Elendel and its neighbouring cities in the Basin. Despite Wax's and Steris' efforts, conflict escalates. Hoffert, Barbara (June 2022). "The Lost Metal: A Mistborn Novel". Library Journal. 147 (6): 122. ISSN 0363-0277. The story becomes a race against time, and this ensures that it is hard to put the book down although the humour helps alleviate any stress. Wayne frequently reminded me of those Terry Pratchett characters who always land on their feet and his scenes with his 'accountants' were smart and funny. A series of epilogues make sure we all know what happened to everyone and all is well with the world.

Special thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for giving me extra support towards my passion for reading and reviewing! Y mira que yo era fiel alabador del autor, pero el de El ritmo de la guerra no lo acabé. El último que leí de su chica piloto (ya ni recuerdo el nombre. ¿Spensa o algo así?) me pareció malo. Y este no le suspendo creo que por nostalgia de mi recuerdo de los buenos momentos iniciales. This is the final book of Mistborn Era 2, or the 7th Mistborn book so far. As such, there's a lot I can't say due to spoilers - but this was a mostly satisfying conclusion to the Wax & Wayne era, with plenty of tidbits to get people excited for further Cosmere as well as specifically Mistborn Era 3.

He wasn’t merely fighting Wayne the amiable miscreant. He was fighting Wayne Terrisborn, filthy rich snob with way, way , too much much money to burn.” A breathtaking saga that promises twists every step of the way… succeeds in celebrating what makes fantasy magical while simultaneously delivering a fresh adventure that’s endlessly entertaining.” — Paste Magazine, “The 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far),” on Mistborn

Edit #11: TODAY IS THE DAY EVERYONE. WE FINALLY MADE IT IT. IT WAS A LONG, HARD JOURNEY BUT WE’RE HERE NOW. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I’LL BE READING THIS AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM WORK. I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL BE JOINING ME. Sanderson, Brandon (December 19, 2016). "State of the Sanderson 2016". brandonsanderson.com . Retrieved August 31, 2017. I'm frustrated with the overall structure of this book. Most Sanderson books follow a similar arc where they are decently written from a writing style perspective, but end up being absolutely wonderful due to the wonderful worldbuilding, magic systems, and most importantly - his expert usage of twists. There was no twist in this book, and the book massively suffered as a result. I’m Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers. In November 2020 we saw the release of Rhythm of War—the fourth massive book in the New York Times #1 bestselling Stormlight Archive series that began with The Way of Kings—and Dawnshard (book 3.5), a novella set in the same world that bridges the gaps between the main releases. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it’s the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be. The fifth volume, Wind and Truth, is set for release in fall 2024.
