Finalmente... El metal perdido TANTO TIEMPO ESPERANDO ESTE LIBRO y por fin pude acceder a él. Que locura. 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. 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. I’m sad to see this era go. When I first started this I was kinda disappointed that I wouldn’t get any of my faves, but I love these characters so much now. From Wax and Wayne’s partnership to Wax and Steris’ romance. Wayne and MeLaan’s banter and eventual romance (who I missed terribly in the book). Marasi finding love with Allik and coming into her own as a woman. They all did some amazing growth in here. A lot of which was forgiving themselves for their pasts and allowing themselves to move on for the sake of their loved ones. I’m going to miss everyone, truly. Wayne especially. Their dynamic was something else. This was bigger and better in all ways, and it felt like watching Avengers Endgame because we got to see characters from other verses, and it all comes together beautifully in this conclusion. I can't talk much about the plot without doing spoilers, so I won't.

I would love to hear how people fared who don’t know their cosmere yet, though somehow I doubt The Lost Metal will hook newbies the way it hooks a cosmere veteran. I loved it so much I read through the night. And that’s not just because of the cosmere implications which enthralled me but also because of our beloved characters. 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.“ 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. 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 was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan’s notes.Steris is awesome, she is probably my favourite female Sanderson character. She's so unique and unlike anything character I've read before. 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. 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. And so ends what had been a remarkable Era 2… It is obviously heartbreaking, having to say goodbye to all these wonderful characters, but the prospect of anticipating an even better era 3 makes up for it, at least a little.

It’s hard to know what you want. We never have all the information. We merely have to do what we can with what we have.”

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. Brandon mentioned at JordanCon that he thinks there is a mention of the Shard Whimsy in the book. [22] 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 Edit #11: TODAY IS THE DAY EVERYONE. WE FINALLY MADE IT IT. IT WAS A LONG, HARD JOURNEY BUT WE’RE HERE NOW. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I’LL BE READING THIS AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM WORK. I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL BE JOINING ME.

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. 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.
