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.

If you read Sanderson's books you can be sure to expect the unexpected. I thought I had a pretty decent idea of what was going on in the first era of Mistborn, but I was so wrong. Sanderson challenged my beliefs and blew my mind with this new era. I don't have any choice but keep reading the next book.
Shadows of Self is an exceptionally good entry in the Mistborn series. I was so impressed with how Sanderson leveraged the original Mistborn trilogy to tell this fresh and exciting story. Even if you weren't completely sold on Wax and Wayne after The Alloy of Law, I highly recommend sticking with them long enough to get to this one.
