Shadows of Self shows Mistborn’s society evolving as technology and magic mix, the economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and religion becomes a growing cultural force, with four faiths competing for converts.
This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society now faces its first instance of terrorism, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax and Wayne, assisted by the lovely, brilliant Marasi, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife stops Scadrial’s progress in its tracks.
Shadows of Self will give fans of The Alloy of Law everything they’ve been hoping for and, this being a Brandon Sanderson book, more, much more.
This is getting better by moments. I still miss the first era's 10 months arcs but this is still pretty nice

Well this one left me disappointed. I struggled with all the new metals when they were introduced, I felt Sanderson had a well structured and easy to follow setup...but now with all the different metals and all their combinations, it's getting really hard to follow. I also felt the identification of Bleeder was more confusing than stunning. I
Iove the new setting and Wax/Wayne, but annoyed at the direction of the whole narrative. God destroyed 2 gods, but there might be more... Feels like we're really grasping for something here unnecessarily.
