This was an extended excerpt provided as an arc by Netgalley. I’m excited for the conclusion of this series! Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite authors and I expect some larger Cosmere related things will be mentioned in this book!

It was so amazing to return to this world! Sanderson creates such amazing characters, and this was no exception. These 10 chapters were not enough! I could read 1,000 more! Such a fun and exciting read!

I just reviewed The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson. #TheLostMetal #NetGalley

Brandon Sanderson excels at sucking you into a book from the first page, and that's no different in the opening chapters of The Lost Metal, not least because, from the prologue at least, it seems as though we might finally get to learn a little more about Wax in this book. These are 88 pages that make you desperate for the rest of the book, where you might start to tentatively guess what'll happen. But we all know that, whatever you expect, Brandon Sanderson will upend your expectations thoroughly. All this excerpt has succeeded in doing is make me all the more impatient for the full thing.

The next installment of this series has been so long awaited.

As usual, Sanderson's story-telling is second to none. Wax and Wayne are an incomparable duo with Wax's stoic wry humour and Wayne's quirky self-deprecation.

I love seeing the progression of Wax and Steris' relationship and finally get some answers about TRELL.

I can't wait for the full book to come in. My pre-order is already in!

A fun, solid fantasy, like always!! Can't wait to read the rest of it! Sanderson has been getting better at writing strong characters alongside strong worldbuilding, and the character voices that you see in this really show the way that he has been improving in that regard. I also loved the political maneuvering angle, that has always been one of his strong suits and I'm excited to see where it goes with the rest of the book!

This was only a small sample adnw as not a full book. Hard to recommend as I have no idea where this is going .

Finally!! The return of Wax and Wayne!!
This is only an excerpt, so it can be difficult to rate only a small portion of the novel. I also am not going to summarize as I don't want to spoil anything about this Era2 conclusion. Just know that the prologue is heartbreaking and there were several laugh out loud moments between Wayne and Marasi. I adore Wayne and I adore Era2 so very much!! I am both so excited and also very sad that we will be leaving all these marvelous characters behind.
Thanks to Tor Books and Netgalley for the ARC.

I just finished reading the first 10 chapters that have been made available before publish. I will certainly be updating my review once I've read the rest.

Over all, I enjoyed them, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book in November. I'm excited to see Brandon finally deliver on all that has been set up about Trell since Alloy of Law. The sample chapters delivered plenty to get me excited about what they're setting up.

That said, they were still a bit rough, especially towards the beginning. Similarly to Rhythm of War, there was a significant time skip between Bands of Mourning and The Lost Metal, this time 6 years. The political landscape of Scadrial has changed quite a bit in those years, given the discovery of the southern continent and their technologies, but most of that change is communicated through some rather clumsy exposition.
There's a fair share of other clumsiness, though most of it I forgive, first because it's Wax and Wayne (which almost requires some clumsiness) and second because (I think) Brandon is still recovering from the retirement of his longtime editor.





What I will not forgive, however, is the fact that Waxillium Ladrian's 6yo son is named Maxillium Ladrian, what the hell kind of reverse Wario bullshit is this, I will die mad.

I requested this in a hurry when I found it and didn't notice it was an Extended Excerpt until I opened up to read it. This was disappointing. But I persisted.

It's been so long since I read the previous volume in the series that I was afraid I might be completely lost. Especially since I had read the Mistborn trilogy in the interim. It did take a couple of chapters to get back into the rhythm of Wax and Wayne's world and rediscover who was who. But I was soon captivated by the characters and intrigued by the adventure.

I look forward to reading the full story when it comes out.

Thankyou Netgalley for providing me a part of the book The Lost metal to read.

I just found out about the Wax and Wayne series a while back and was able to read them this week. Luckily i was able to read a few chapters of an unedited version of The lost Metal from Netgalley. Frankly I cant wait for the book to get published so i can read it. From what ive read we get a glimpse into Waynes past. I have adored him from the start and now even more so. Wax is a senator now and a bill is being passed which might not be favourable for places outside Elendel. Marasi and Wayne have found weapons and food illegally being sent to another city, and The Set is upto no good. I think the book will be published this November, ThankGod i wont have to wait long for it!

Sanderson continues to immediately draw you in and leave you wanting more. If you haven't had a chance to reread the previous books in the series, this novel does a great job bringing familiar characters in early and often. Appreciated this excerpt and looking forward to reading the novel in its entirety soon!

Sanderson can do no wrong. Seriously. I haven't been disappointed with one of his books in a long, long time. This is a snippet of the latest Mistborn era 2 book -- a mere 10 chapters that were simply Not Enough. I've been waiting for this book for YEARS so to have it be this close is really exciting.

It appears as if there's a time jump between this book at the last, so it took a bit to figure out where everyone stands. I do love the bit of young Wayne we get at the beginning of the book -- it's a nice insight as to where he gets himself from. I also really loved seeing Wax with his children. I can't wait to get the rest of this one. Thank you, Tor, for sharing this!

This preview was exactly what I needed - how excited am I to be back in this amazing world that Sanderson has created!

Such a great opener with young Wayne (who is one of my favorite characters of all time) and his shining personality, even as a young lad. But really, all the characters are so special and multi-dimensional and I am so excited to see what happens.

This teaser was a treat, but at the same time, an absolute tease. So looking forward to this!! :)

This preview has me excited for the book to come out!! Wax and his gang are back and Wayne with all his antics. Can’t wait to read the entire book. Need to brush up on all my Mistborn series.
Reserving 5 star rating after i’ve read the entire book!

Thank you Netgalley for the preview.

Wow. I can’t wait to read more! The timeskip was a bit jarring at first and seemed almost unnecessary but I love little Max so much that it’s okay. Im hoping for more of Steris (and I’m sure she’ll play a bigger role for the rest of the book) since she really grew in the last book. I am a bit worried that the rest will feel rushed with everything that is building up. Unless it’s not all resolved in this era? Overall, writing was fantastic as always for Sanderson.

Another fantastic opener from Sanderson. If you have read any of Sanderson's books before, especially the Mistborn novels, not much will suprise you about the format, and style of prose here. We have more bad Wayne jokes, gripping characters, and a whole heap of intrigue in the form of a looming conspiracy. Whilst regular fans will settle right in, there are also plenty of suprises on offer, with a large tilt towards revelations involving Sanderson's shared universe. Tense, funny, accessible, and most all of all, heartfelt, this was an fantastic return to the world of Scadrial and i look forward to finishing the entire book upon release.

This was not the full book, but an extended excerpt. I love Sanderson and most of what he does. I was very interested to see Wax and Wayne and Steris and everyone again. I can't wait to read the entire book! Its gonna be a great end to this era of Mistborn. Would highly recommend!

When I learned that I could request this novel for an advanced reader copy, I nearly fell out of my chair. When the publisher granted me access, I almost cried with excitement. That is what Brandon Sanderson's novels are capable of doing to his fans. Though this novel is incredibly short (for a Sanderson novel), it adds so much depth to the world that Sanderson built in his Mistborn saga. I feel like I learned a lot about the way the magic system works, the world, and also some interesting characters. Honestly, I never get tired of reading Sanderson's novels because he's a master of his craft, successfully doing things that some writers only dream of executing. Sanderson has been dropping small slivers of works set in the Mistborn world for years, always adding some complexity that readers didn't know about before. Everytime I read one of the extension novels, I want to go back and re-read the Mistborn saga because there's something that I missed. I think people don't give enough credit to Sanderson. He's brilliant, and he's one of the best living fantasy writers of all time. I will continue to read anything he puts out, and I suggest all follow suit.

As always excellent writing. Since this was.only a ten chapter preview I'll wait until I have read the full book to proper rate and review. I have no doubt that it will be five stars. It's Sanderson after all.

So fun to read the first part of this book. Can’t wait for the rest! I discovered that I’d forgotten a lot of this series so it was good to have a refresher and take there time to look up wiki summaries.
