Summary
Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era， which began with The Alloy of Law， comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal。
For years， frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set—with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders—since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines。 When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming， this opens a new lead。 Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set， and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate—whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose—and Bilming is even more entangled。
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 reveals that Harmony’s power is blocked in Bilming。 That means the city 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。
Harmony’s vision of future possibilities comes to an abrupt halt tomorrow night， with only blackness after that。 It’s a race against time， and Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be。 If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs， the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin。

This book （and the series as a whole） was very enjoyable。 Think 'Indiana Jones' adventure meets 'Sherlock Holmes' in a steampunk， western-like gunslinging fantasy world with loveable characters and lots of action！ This final book was a fitting end to the series and tugged at my heartstrings。 Thus， as a whole， I would indeed recommend the Wax and Wayne series。 However， I would recommend that one only embark on this series after you have read the rest of Sanderson's Cosmere books。 Ultimately， I ha This book （and the series as a whole） was very enjoyable。 Think 'Indiana Jones' adventure meets 'Sherlock Holmes' in a steampunk， western-like gunslinging fantasy world with loveable characters and lots of action！ This final book was a fitting end to the series and tugged at my heartstrings。 Thus， as a whole， I would indeed recommend the Wax and Wayne series。 However， I would recommend that one only embark on this series after you have read the rest of Sanderson's Cosmere books。 Ultimately， I have mixed feelings about this series。 On the one hand， it is fun and entertaining; on the other， it just isn't as good as the original Mistborn trilogy。 For me， one of the things that I liked best about the original Mistborn trilogy was how elegant the magic system and world-building was。 While it held the potential to be intricately confusing， it never was。 In the Wax and Wayne series， however， not only does Sanderson add a whole host of new abilities to allomancy that started to muddy the brilliant simplicity of the original magic system， but he starts to bring in the rest of the Cosmere， tying events to other books that he has written。 For some， this will be a brilliant and highly anticipated convergence of Sanderson's works， but I felt at points that I was maybe missing something。 I have read all but the Stormlight Archives and White Sands， so was better prepared than some others might be， yet I feel like I might have appreciated this more had I read all of the above。 Indeed， I reckon that I will have to re-read the Wax and Wayne series after I have read the Stormlight Archives！ That said， it wasn't really a hinderance; the book was fully readable and I was able to follow the plot easily enough。 As a completionist， though， I wish that I had been fully up-to-date with the Cosmere before stepping into this series。 Nevertheless， despite the slight pessimism of the above， this is still a 4 star series！ 。。。more

The next installment of this series has been so long awaited。 As usual， Sanderson's story-telling is second to none。 Wax and Wayne are an incomparable duo with Wax's stoic wry humour and Wayne's quirky self-deprecation。 I love seeing the progression of Wax and Steris' relationship and finally get some answers about TRELL。I can't wait for the full book to come in。 My pre-order is already in！ The next installment of this series has been so long awaited。 As usual， Sanderson's story-telling is second to none。 Wax and Wayne are an incomparable duo with Wax's stoic wry humour and Wayne's quirky self-deprecation。 I love seeing the progression of Wax and Steris' relationship and finally get some answers about TRELL。I can't wait for the full book to come in。 My pre-order is already in！ 。。。more
