The Lost Metal: A Mistborn Novel

Product Information

Ultimately, with Mistborn Era 1 we had an absolutely amazing ending that tied up the series in a beautiful way - and with Era 2 it ended up feeling like it didn't need to be written. This entire Era could have just been a wiki blurb, or at most a novella, and it would have served its purpose. The ending of Era 2 leaves with pretty much zero plot development and ends up just being a prelude for Era 3. Telsin and her reasoning, which boils down to her being an antagonist with an understandable motive, reminds me of Taravangian - minus the hunger for power. Sanderson is so good at creating relatable “villains.” If you think of something that would be good for us to add, just let us know in the comments! If you have a question to ask, that's a great use of the comments as well. The beginning of this book contained a huge number of info dumps, something that is not normally a Sanderson style, and ends up feeling very strange and out of place. I could understand it a bit more in the first book of a series, but we are in the 4th and final book and the time for that has come and gone a long time ago. If you read "Mistborn: Secret History" you will know that a certain character is heavily featured here, and I absolutely hated that reveal. It cheapened the fate of this character and felt like it was being way too cute. That character now is featured, and I hate the direction that this took. Not only that, but the reveal of this character in Mistborn: Era 2 was a huge cliffhanger in the 3rd book, with so many questions left lingering that just simply do not get solved here.

Regarding Cosmere Easter eggs...there are loads! I don't think you *need* to have read anything other than Mistborn, but it's definitely the most Cosmere forward book so far. Some of the things in this book had me SO STOKED and I can't wait to talk about them.

I’m good at pretendin‘ to be things I ain‘t, you know? I eventually put together how to feign bein‘ a person who was worth somethin‘. It’s a good lie. Still manage to believe it. . . . Mosta the time.“ 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. Este libro no es solo un cierre, es una promesa. Una declaración de intenciones de lo que Sanderson planea hacer con el Cosmere, de cómo todas las tramas individuales de las distintas sagas terminarán desembocando en algo mucho más enorme y ambicioso. Y vaya si lo hace bien.

This is a very frustrating review to have to write. I'm a BIG Brandon Sanderson fan - with many of my all time favorite books being written by him, I consider him one of my top 5 favorite authors of all time. And while I haven't been in love with the Mistborn: Era 2 books thus far, they have all been passable. This one however, for me, was absolutely atrocious from beginning to end. Telsin Ladrian: Wax's sister, the leader of the Set, a terrorist group, who has become the avatar of Autonomy.

Wayne spun toward her, then—after just a brief pause—grinned widely. Those two were getting along better these days, which Wax enjoyed seeing. Waxillium Ladrian · Wayne · Marasi Colms · Steris Harms · MeLaan · Miles Dagouter · Ranette · Edwarn Ladrian · Bleeder · Claude Aradel · Telsin LadrianThe Lost Metal was pretty much the perfect finale. The last few books provided the much needed foundation of the worldbuilding especially around the progression of the magic system, and developing characters that we know and loved so much, and the basis of the overarching story for Mistborn Era 2. Armed with this strong foundation, this finale was a high-stakes, fast-paced story that pointed our main characters towards the primary threat almost right from the get-go. I was a bit surprised and delighted that we also got some answers pretty early in the book, and typical of Sanderson, continued to get more which were craftily scattered throughout the narrative keeping me absolutely riveted. However, despite the pace and the revelations, and the amount of incredible action scenes, we still got plenty of character moments which continue to develop our characters even more. The ending was a beautifully bittersweet one, and one which will keep me thinking about it for days and weeks to come. Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart,The Emperor’s Soul, and Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you’re already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings. 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. At Dragonsteel Mini-Con, Brandon mentioned that there is a worldhopper from a planet with a culture inspired by the Indian subcontinent in the book.

Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre.” — Library Journal, starred review, on The Alloy of Law
