The Lost Metal

TLM had the unfortunate job of following up on what I believe to be the second-best book of the series, the best in the era. I think it delivered and gave a mostly satisfying conclusion to Era 2 of Mistborn. I talked a lot about the growth of these characters in my review for The Bands of Mourning and in The Lost Metal they truly realize who they are. It got me pretty emotional reading them getting to that point and seeing the different paths they chose for themselves. Honestly, the only part that was really lacking was the ending, but I expected that as I knew this era was more of a transition project than anything. Still, I came away with some of my favorite characters being from the transition project that wasn't supposed to be this big.
