Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson (November 15, 2022 by Tor Books)
Brandon Sanderson typically cycles through his projects, and I’m so excited to see he’s returning to The Mistborn Saga with the fourth book that takes place in the second era of Scadrial, which began with The Alloy of Law. This might not be the most popular opinion, but I actually prefer these “Wax & Wayne” books over the Mistborn original trilogy. This one will be the concluding volume to their adventures.
“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 reveals that Harmony’s power is blocked in Bilming. That means the city 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.
Harmony’s vision of future possibilities comes to an abrupt halt tomorrow night, with only blackness after that. It’s a race against time, and 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.“
The BiblioSanctum 
wow, he’s really pushing the Ruinous side of his Cosmere here isn’t he? Well, I hope this will be a good conclusion to the W&W sub-series…

I’ll have to check whether I’m caught up on this series. Can’t remember whether I’ve read the first 3, or only the first 2. But I’ll certainly give this one a read at some point. I do prefer the first series (at least the first book of that series), but I still really enjoy this one.

Unfortunately I didn’t start this series when I hoped to and of course I’m playing catch up at the moment so no way I’m sneaking it in. Great cover – hope you love it.
