It was good not great, too Cosmere heavy for me. It feels like a turning point with Sanderson, as his series no longer feel as enjoyable unless you read everything he puts out. Everything he puts out is good, but it does detract a bit from the book you're reading if you haven't read everything else. I felt the story was a little predictable but I enjoyed it a lot; dialogue was a bit strained at times.

The entire Mistborn/Cosmere series is a fantastic adventure, masterfully written. The audiobook performance is superb. It's an action-packed ride and a fun time, but not without sacrifices and heartache.

I really enjoyed The Lost Metal. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and just super well written. Sanderson does a great job wrapping up the second era of Mistborn while still teasing bigger things in the Cosmere.

The characters are solid as always, and there’s one moment near the end that hit really hard (no spoilers, but you’ll know it when you get there). Steris remains my favourite character. 

If you’ve been following the series, this is a must-read. Totally satisfying and hard to put down.
