(The Wax & Wayne books were developed out of a single short story and it shows at times.) While the main narrative of The Lost Metal can be tedious at times, the ultimate conclusion of the arc leaves our heroes’ lives and journeys truly tied up in a bow– for better or worse.
As the climax and finale of the Mistborn Era 2 arc, it sticks the landing, but more impressively it serves as a satisfying ending to a frankly rocky story arc.
Serving as somewhat of a backbone for the universe’s overarching narrative thus far (scant though it may be as yet) Mistborn has long been a fan favorite in the fantasy genre, and its newest entry The Lost Metal lives up to the reputation. Central in turn to the Cosmere is Mistborn. Central to his work is the Cosmere, a universe of sci-fi/fantasy novels, comics, and short stories interweaving a larger narrative of godhood and the intrigues therein. His wake can in fact be felt in every aspect of the modern publishing industry, evidenced by his recent Kickstarter project shattering records. Blending intense worldbuilding, expansive magic systems, empathic character writing, and a breakneck writing pace comparable only to the great Chuck Tingle, Sanderson has left an indelible mark on the sci-fi/fantasy world. Brandon Sanderson’s work has become a recent obsession of mine.
