Shadows of Self

This book was even better than the first. I really enjoyed this addition to the Mistborn universe.

This story follows Wayne, Wax, and Marasi as they try to find out who is causing all of the disruption in their city. We get so many callbacks to the previous era that make this story that much more interesting. The whole time, I was trying to search for Easter eggs. Some of my favorite characters from the first era make an appearance here.

The whodunit plot twist was a little predictable, but the ending for Wax was NOT predictable. I was so emotional by the end and wanted to give Wax a hug. I'm instantly starting the next one because I have to know how this conflict resolves.

Sanderson does it again with his superb characters, making you feel for this trio and their surrounding friends/colleagues. The addition of Milan to the group for part of the book is so fun, and she quickly became one of my favorite characters. The banter between this group is hilarious and makes me want to go get a beer with them.

Overall, I think this book was successful and interesting to read. I recommend to Sanderson fans that might have reservations about era 2 like I did. No need to be hesitant. These are great!
