Carregando... The Lost Metalde Brandon Sanderson
![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This was an ok book. Not the greatest in the series, and the ending was a little anti-climactic. Also the book was a little too cheesy at times. But being a Brandon Sanderson book it's still better than many other books out there. ;) The adventures of Wax, Wayne, Steris and Merasi continue. This book continues and possibly concludes the Mistborn II series. Trell, the evil force of destruction, is still intent on destroying the world, using Wax's sister as its pawn. There are essentially two plot lines in this book, one for Wax and one for Wayne and Merasi, though eventually they intertwine. Steris also gets her own opportunity to shine. Like all of the Mistborn books, this one is full of superhero type action as Wax and Wayne do their thing. We also get to see some other familiar figures from previous books, which was a bit of a surprise. Full of action and adventure yet at the same time some well developed characters, this one was as good as the previous books in the series and some of Sanderson's better work. Saw it on the shelves and really wanted to like it but I felt lost and like I somehow hadn't read the previous three books in the series and was in the middle of a series without an anchor point. Some of it was familiar and good but honestly it was a bit of a slog to read. Waxillium Ladrian is now a senator and still hunting the Set. Detective Marasi Colms is now partnered with Wayne and they find stockpiled weapons and the threads bring them back to Wax's sister and the Set and gods who are fighting over the overlordship of the world, and maybe more. It's not a bad story and I didn't put it down for days but I found myself not engaging a lot with several of the characters. While certainly not my favorite Sanderson work, I did heartily enjoy this outing into the Cosmere. In fact, the Cosmere was the best part of the book. I got so excited about the larger inclusions and connections to other works in the Cosmere. I stopped my reading to ring a friend and gush even though she is a few books behind. Sorry about the spoilers, kind friend. I also enjoyed the fact that there was a time jump. It's nice to know that the characters have spent some down time being boring enough to not deserve a novel. And that we can catch up with them again in a way that ties them to the larger Sanderson universe. The only aspect I found myself struggling with was the increased time spent with Wayne. While an amusing character when the limelight is shared, he can be a lot when a large chunk of the plot is dedicated to him. Much like Deadpool, to me, Wayne is a character best experienced in accompaniment with a grumpier, more down to earth character. If not the character runs the risk of being too much. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The first three Mistborn books also managed to upend my expectations and I really enjoyed discovering the ancient mythology that drove the more modern world of Wax and Wayne.
But this book confounded me. Maybe I needed to reread or review The Bands of Mourning (and even Shadows of Self) to understand who was who and what was what and how we managed to have 400 year old mythic characters stomping around in the industrial age and messing it up. And who are all these other Cosmere folks? I sort of understand what Sanderson wanted to do with this book. But it didn't do it for me. (
