"Michael Kramer is my favorite among all audiobook narrators. I was thrilled to have him on the Mistborn series, and he did such an amazing job I can’t imagine having anyone else be the voice of these characters."—Brandon Sanderson

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, Harmony, reveals that Bilming 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.

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.

Awesome, with one minor exception

This book is a great end to the series. My only hesitation is Wayne. He's a great character but man, Sanderson needs to shorten his dialogue. Hearing someone spouting off idiotic (Which is in character) stuff for minutes of audio is tedious. Some could be shortened to "Wayne thoroughly explained X" Some could be slightly tweaked to fit the plot a bit better, but man some of it was awful. Wayne is that way, but I had to skip sections because I really couldn't put up with some of Wayne's excessive monologues. Witty banter and dumb sayings are clever, long-winded explanations in the middle of tense scenes are a waste of ink and audio time

Oye mate,

You gotta read the last book of a story within a story what has a good beginning thats pretending to be an ending.

Great end to a fantastic trilogy!

if you're reading this; stop wasting your time a get this audiobook. Stop dilly dallying and enjoy!

Michael Kramer really is irreplaceable

i’m mad at Brando right now so i’m just going to say how lucky we are that Kramer keeps returning to the Cosmere

First review whoot whoot

It’s the fourth series in a Brandon book you know it’s awesome it is amazing. It’s the 4th one. You know what you are getting.

Yes

I’ve been waiting for this for a very very long time. So glad to have a final installment.

can't believe it's over

I can't believe that this second series is over. I could enjoy a decade of books set in this era with Wax and Wayne. The antics, the world building, the characters growth on all sides, the mysteries, I just enjoyed it all.

I think book 3 is the strongest in this era, but that doesn't mean book 4 is heavily flawed. It had a goal and it met that goal.

I am melted puddle of tears

This book was so absolutely fantastic I'm afraid to start Stormlight, but I can't wait to see what comes next 😊 Thank you for this masterpiece, Mr. Sanderson and team ❤️

Amazing

As anticipated, the third installment to the second era was an absolute joy to consume. Without spoiling anything, I love how we start seeing more of the interconnectedness of the Cosmere in this book. So much fun if you have read the other works in the universe.

Brandon delivers......again

I hated the ending! But, alas! that's life on Scadrial. no spoilers here. Hahaha read it!!
