5 effn stars !!!! Omg

This is the best book of the series. I will say. To maximize your experience. Please read era 1 with the novellas
The crossover between other series. Just amplify my experience

God I can still remember finding out that some author named ‘Brandon Sanderson’ was chosen to complete the Wheel of Time series and wondering who the hell that was and why they thought anyone but Robert Jordan could do the series justice. Then I went out and bought a copy of Elantris to see just what his writing style was like and I found that I couldn’t stop reading until I had caught up on all of his books at the time. While the Mistborn trilogy I probably my least favorite of all his books I absolutely love the Era 2 books and have been looking forward to this book for years. The Lost Metal was a fucking epic conclusion to what has become one of my favorite series of all time.

I’m honestly not sure where to start with this review because I loved absolutely everything about this book and it was so full of information and Cosmere connections that I don’t know that I can say much without spoiling some awesome things. So what I will do is say that if you’re a fan of Brandon Sanderson’s I think you will love this book IMO and if you’ve never read anything by Brandon Sanderson then I think you need to get yourself down to the nearest library or bookstore and remedy that. You’re missing out on a great series and one of the best authors in the world.

I had so many questions when I started reading The Lost Metal and amazingly most of the questions I had were answered and the answers were just amazing. Wax and Wayne continue to be one of my favorite dynamic duos of all time and I love reading about them. Though surprisingly Sterris and Marasi’s stories and scenes were probably my favorite part of the story. I feel like they got more screen time in this book and their scenes were the ones I looked forward to reading the most this time around. The saddest part of this book for me was the ending because I know its the end of Era 2 and I don’t know what I’ll do without a new Wax and Wayne book to look forward to.

My only concern with The Lost Metal is just how many connections to the Cosmere there are in this book. Sanderson has always maintained that he writes his Cosmere books in such a way that you don’t need to know anything about the Cosmere to enjoy them but I can’t help but feel that that isn’t the case with this book and series. It felt like every chapter had some sort of connection to or revelation about the Cosmere that you could easily miss if you haven’t read the rest of the books and in this book those connections definitely impact the story in some fairly large ways. I’ll have to talk to someone who doesn’t know much about the Cosmere to see if they were confused by anything when reading this book.

I really can’t recommend this series and author enough to people. I think there is a Sanderson book for everyone and I would highly recommend anyone who has not done so yet go read one of his books.

Maybe my favorite in the series?? I had a blast. The pacing was wonderful, loved the time I got to spend with each character and as a cosmere fan I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the universe and all the easter eggs. So glad this met my expectations.

I loved this one. It was a bit of a bittersweet ending to the era two Mistborn books but so many emotions. Five stars for this book
