Historia
Welcome to the Wanderlands. A vast machine made for reasons unknown, the Wanderlands was broken long ago. First went the sky, splintering and cracking, and then very slowly, the whole machine—the whole world—began to go dark. Meet the Failures. Following the summons of a strange dream, a scattering of adventurers, degenerates, and children find themselves drawn toward the same place: the vast underground Keep. They will discover there that they have been called for a purpose—and that purpose could be the destruction of everything they love.

A series of threads pulled tight
Revisado: 04-30-25
A very interesting book indeed.
It jerks you around various viewpoints, often seemingly unrelated with unclear chronology, setting up threads that finally start to pull together in the back third or so.
It comes out swinging with an interesting and strange world. Not bizarre, but it’s got that striking imagery and mysterious history we love. But I’ll be honest, it’s slow. It takes its time setting up pieces and displaying its characters somewhat exhaustively. It almost lost me in the middle, but once the pieces started to fall into place it really had me smiling.
I also like the writing style. I’m usually not one to comment on that aspect, but I like the voice and the way it’s not afraid to give you little hints about how some things will go, making an open yet vague secret out of certain futures.

Historia
The Naor hordes have been driven from the walls, but the Dendressi forces are scattered and fragmented, and their gravest threat lies before them. For their queen has slain the ruling council and fled with the magical artifacts known as the hearthstones, and she is only a few days from turning them to her mad ends. The Altenerai corps has suffered grievous casualties, and Elenai’s hearthstone and her source of sorcerous power has been shattered. She and her friends have no choice but to join with the most unlikely of allies.

Good series, satisfying end
Revisado: 03-12-25
This fine cast of characters finally reaches the end if their tale. This was without doubt the best of the three, with an interesting plot structure giving as many surprises as you expected outcomes. The author does a good job killing enough characters to keep you wondering without feeling like wanton death just to get to you.
Lori Prince is a good reader, though throughout the series were moments of a delivery that seemed out of touch with the moment, or the overall flow of a sentence was awkward, usually at the stitch of the editing. However I don’t necessarily blame Lori for this as it could well be fault of the director or editor.

When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead.

A worthy end
Revisado: 01-29-23
What an experience Era 2 has been. Possibly my favorite set of characters Brandon has done, Era 2 feels a little like Brandon’s world written in a story more akin to one of Jim Butcher (Wax feels like an alternate reality Harry Dresden, what can I say). The Lost Metal gives the series a worthy send off, full of great character development, awesome moments and big cosmere reveals. I do think it remains outshined by its predecessor The Bands of Mourning, which was such a phenomenally well structured adventure. Nevertheless I was not disappointed by The Lost Metal as a follow up, and I’ll certainly listen to this series again in the future.
