The Lost Metal: A Mistborn Novel: 7 (Mistborn Saga)

Product Information

Edit #4: The year is 2020 and we are now in the middle of a global pandemic. The world may actually dissolve into chaos before this book is released. Also, everyone please stay home if you’re under quarantine. It’s not just about keeping you safe, but also about keeping others safe. 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

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.

Tor.com - 2021-12-06 Cite: Tor.com/2021/12/06/book-announcements-the-lost-metal-a-mistborn-novel-from-brandon-sanderson # 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. The book starts with a bang and then it is action all the way. 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. We will try to keep this section updated with regard to the current status of the book. If you see any relevant news that makes this section worth updating, please let us know. We will NOT be updating this for every percentage-point change that Brandon mentions in his Weekly Updates on YouTube. We will only make note of major milestones.

Usually, Wayne is amazing. He is super funny, but in this book, a lot of his humour was very juvenile and childish, even for him. They sounded like something my little cousin would say, and that made it cringe-y sometimes. Still was funny, but not as much as in previous books. 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) You can’t convict me on a hunch,” Wayne said, folding his arms. “I know my rights. Marasi’s always quoting them to people once we finish beating them up. I get a trial by my peers, I do.”

It is no question that I prefer Mistborn the first era over the second one. I just liked the characters, world-building and the story more. I still enjoyed the second Era and I think Wax & Wayne are a great duo. I just felt that there could be more, there was always something missing and The Lost Metal proved me right and satisfied those urges. At least in the first draft, there is a "very minor" plot point that involves a desiccated frog. [23] A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old. Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre.” — Library Journal (starred review) on The Alloy of Law

All our viewpoint characters were figuring out their identity. Is Wax a lawman from the Roughs? Harmony’s sword? A father? A politician? Can he find a balance? What is Marasi’s purpose? Is being a policewoman enough for her? Can Steris turn her perceived flaw of obsessive planning into a strength – reminiscent of the talents in Alcatraz? And finally, Wayne. Can he leave his past of killing a man in his youth and the pain that has caused (him) behind?In conclusion, The Lost Metal has lots of great character moments, excellent pacing and an overall satisfying conclusion. The plot just didn’t feel as tightknit as some of Sanderson’s other books, but overall, I had a wonderful time reading this book. Delivers more excitement, adventure, and magic in a newly industrialized world that is as richly realized as any of Sanderson’s creations.” — BuzzFeed on Shadows of Self After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. 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.
