The Lost Metal: A Mistborn Novel

Product Information

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. At the end of chapter 30, Wayne remarks he had “[a] man‘s whole life“ - as reflected in this man‘s apartment - to figure out who that person was. Is it too far-fetched to think this quotation is an allusion to Malcalm X‘s “A man‘s whole life can be changed by one book“? Probably. Making an ending realistic always comes with the conundrum of dishing out a balanced amount of happiness and disappointment. Though I wanted to say I hated the way few things ended, it would not have left such a profound impact had it been handled differently. I’ll stop at saying that the author gave us a beautiful ending. Did The Lost Metal spoil other books/series in Cosmere beyond Mistborn Saga? Mostly no. But yes, there is one that I (personally speaking, you might not agree) consider a spoiler for The Stormlight Archive. Ghostbloods is a major organization in The Stormlight Archive. Knowing its existence from reading The Lost Metal is not too much of a big deal. However, re

What I can say about TLM is that it's my favorite of the Era 2 books, and my third favorite overall after HoA and TFE. There are a lot of excellent scenes in this book, for all types of fans - Era 1 fans, Era 2 fans, Cosmere enthusiasts. Some of the character moments in this book are very touching or cool, although I felt like Sanderson tried too hard to make people speak their life lessons into dialogue a bit too blatantly. Magic systems from other series and massive Cosmere implications aside, The Lost Metal successfully made me more eager for the future of Mistborn Saga. Scadrial continues to be one of my favorite worlds in fantasy. I may not love it as much as Roshar, but it is still one of my cherished worlds in the genre, and it is undoubtedly one of the most special ones for me. With the arrival of new metals, the evolution and combination of allomancy, feruchemy, and hemalurgy ceaselessly keep the magic system, actions, and world-building in Scardrial mesmerizing. Also, one of my favorite factors of reading Sanderson's book is the function of advancing technologies and science in his world. But this was never done at the expense of forgetting the core history of each respective world in Cosmere. In Mistborn: Wax and Wayne, Sanderson constantly relates to the events of the first Mistborn trilogy while at the same time showing how technologies and science believably transform the world of Scadrial. Based on what I've read here, it is more possible than not that the next era of Mistborn Saga will be more superb, intricate, and mind-blowing. El libro de principio a fin estuvo lleno de acción, escenas emotivas y todos los personajes tuvieron su momento para destacar. Sin duda el mejor de la segunda era. Where I think this book will really decide how it lands is on how you feel about Wayne. Wayne is a very conflicting character to me that I don't feel like Sando handles as well as he could balancing the humor and tragedy inherent in him. This is a very Wayne heavy book even from the beginning (Wayne childhood prologue) and some of the best moments are Wayne moments, and my least favorite, groan worthy parts are also Wayne moments. I think all of the main cast of this subseries get a satisfying arc, Wayne included, but the balance of juvenile humor was tilted a bit too far for me ultimately. 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.“And while I find it bittersweet to say goodbye to my beloved duo, I just learned I have much to look forward to: Sanderson has announced a third era of Mistborn.

so far there had beeen no greater test of his faith in humanity—serial killers included—than working with politicians.” - Wax I want to take a moment here to reflect on my relationship with recent Sanderson releases. I haven't loved them (I'm thinking of Rhythm of War, Starsight, and Lost Metal) as much as his older novels. Either my taste or his style has been shifting, and I think it's some of both. He sat staring at the door for a long time. He wasn’t wearing a hat, which meant he had to just be himself. The true him, the one that knew this pain. They’d ridden together on many a dusty path. This pain had been his invisible friend since childhood. The pain of knowing what he really was. The pain of being worthless. Tense diplomatic situations were not impressed by the presence of a five-year-old. But it could have been worse—he could have brought Wayne instead.” - Wax

The gods are very busy. Autonomy is stirring up Wax's sister to evil doings, and Harmony is less useful than usual. When things get really serious Wax is called upon to save the world, although in the end I think Wayne is the biggest hero. There are many nods to the Cosmere and even a character or two dropping by. I would recommend reading at least Mistborn: Secret History, Emperor's Soul, and Words of Radiance before getting to this novel.)

In 2014, Sanderson revealed the tentative title of the fourth and final book of the Wax and Wayne series as The Lost Metal. [3] It was initially planned to be released in 2018, but was subsequently moved to Fall 2019. [4] [5] Later, due to the release of the previously unplanned Skyward series, the publication date was further postponed to 2022. [6] [7] The first printing of the novel consists of 500,000 copies. [8] Reception [ edit ] 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. Six years have passed since the events of “The Bands of Mourning” and Waxillium Ladrian has laid down his coat and gun to take up the pen. Now Senator, he spends most of his time fighting off laws that threaten war between Elendel and the Outer cities as well as trying to prevent another war between the Basin and the Malwish in the South. Steris, now Lady Ladrian, uses her expertise in organisation to manage the household and find evidence and clues to aid the prevention of war.

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. I think it boils down to the INCREASED focus on Cosmere connections and worldbuilding we get in this book. There is a huge amount of deus ex amchina now implemented due to the extreme Cosmere tie ins, and it cheapens the thrill here when characters can come in and solve problems using powers that are only relevant in other books on other words. It ends up not really feeling like a mistborn book. Let’s answer the big question. Is this a Cosmere filled book? Are we finally seeing Sanderson starting to pull stuff and worlds together? The answer to that is... YES. I won’t go into specifics, but there are some pretty major cosmere tie-ins, especially in the latter half of this book. Other worlds are mentioned, and more stuff like that, so if you are a HUGE Cosmere fanatic, you will probably love this book. The Lost Metal is an important book for the cosmere. No doubt about it.

Voy a extrañar demasiado a estos personajes, Wax, Wayne, Marasi y Steris me llenaron de alegría, gracias. ❤️✨ Los amo 🥺 No puedes seguir desenterrando el cadáver de quien eras antes. No puedes seguir cargando con él de un lado a otro. Déjalo enterrado. Plantéate quién eres, no a quién dejaste atrás"Edit #10: WE HAVE A COVER. ALSO THIS LINE WORRIES ME CAUSE I THINK I REALLY HAVE TO FINISH READING THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE NOW: “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.” Who are the offworlders???? Following completion of The Alloy of Law Brandon plotted out three more books, following the same characters, to finish the story. Brandon began writing The Lost Metal in April 2021, after he finished Cytonic, [2] and completed the first draft on August 4, 2021. [3] The second draft was completed on September 20, 2021, [4] and went to beta readers and Brandon's editor shortly thereafter; [5] the beta reads concluded some time in November. [4] The post-beta read edit was done by March 7, 2022; [6] it took more time to complete than Brandon had expected and resulted in the book growing longer than he had initially anticipated. [7] After that, Brandon did one final edit, which was done by May 24, 2022, before turning the book in to Tor [8] for a November 15, [1] 2022 release, around when the first two Era 2 books were released in leatherbound. [5] 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.”
