A review by sironigiri
The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
So that's the end of era two. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride. Feeling a lot less focused than era one was. A comparison that comes to mind is MCU up to infinity wars vs after.
But I still gave this book four stars. How come? Especially since the last book only got three? Well the time jump helped. Six years to mature the characters really did a lot. The plot is more snappy. Even though sometimes it feels like it's setting up the cosmere more than telling a mistborn story.
But all the characters got fitting endings. Sanderson have really nailed fitting things together. The probelm for era two as a whole for me was that the themes and motives of the characters were not as well written al the way. As I look back I can see the hints but it's clear they were not there from the start in a natural way.
But a good endingwill be remembered so I'm happy to have read the series. The Lost metal is the strongest book in for me Sandersons weakest series. But even at his weakest he is entertains.
