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. had me so happy. These people have grown together so much. Wax and Steris as a couple, Marasi and Steris as sisters, Marasi and Wayne as partners, Wax and Marasi as friends, Wax and Wayne as brotherly best friends and now even Steris and Wayne get along. It just makes me so emotional. I love them all so much and I was so sad to be done with their story when I closed the book.We also get to understand why he is drawn to MeLaan so much: “I didn’t think I‘d ever meet someone who understood what it was like to have to be another person most of the time.” I’m Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers.

An excellent finale to this section of the Mistborn series. Waxillium, Wayne and Steris are all in top form aided by Detective Marsi Colms. In the aftermath, Kelsier and Harmony debate about whether Harmony should introduce technology to the people or not, and Wax lives happily with Steris and his children. The city honors Wayne by putting up a statue of him. Kelsier: The Mistborn Survivor of Hathsin who leads the Ghostbloods. He was killed by the Lord Ruler in The Final Empire, but managed to stay as a "ghost" (cognitive shadow) and later bound his spirit to a body. Also note that both The Lost Metal and Cosmere tags permit the discussion of all relevant pre-release content and related Words of Brandon. If you want to wait until official preview chapters are released, or until the full book is out, you should avoid anything tagged for TLM. (leaks, on the other hand, are never allowed) But let’s go a bit more into detail. Let’s talk about why I think this is an excellent book and why I don’t think this is Sanderson’s best work to date.It was a time of ashfalls and tyrants in The Hero of Ages. Drowned by the cloud of darkness, the power of an evil god, and surrounded by charred bodies, a new myth, legend, and group of heroes were forged. And the characters and story in the first trilogy became the foundational lore for the entire Mistborn: Wax and Wayne. Willingly or not, the events in The Lost Metal will traject the main characters of the second era of Mistborn Saga toward a similar path. They're guaranteed to become legends in the third era of Mistborn Saga, which, if all goes according to plan, will have its first installment might begin in the year 2025 or 2026. 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. 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. Wayne’s mother tells him,] “You are whatever you want to be, Wayne. You’re the wind.. You’re the stars. You are all endless things.” 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.
