The Lost Metal

3/5 stars per Goodreads' “I liked it”.

As a Brandon Sanderson Cosmere book, it just didn't wow me as much as I've come to expect. It was certainly better than Elantris but not as good as Final Empire, Way of Kings, or Warbreaker. Unlike most of the earlier books, I think this one suffers if you haven't read most of the other Cosmere books, and the way that characters are starting to crossover between series is getting pretty MCU-ish, and not exactly in a good way for me.

The main plot line was quite a bit more ‘super-hero' than ‘Victorian detective', as opposed to the other Wax and Wayne books, which I found disappointing too.

I think I'll need to let it digest and process some more of my feelings, but overall I think it was just ok.
