I love Brandon Sandersons writing style - having been introduced to his writing via his amazing conclusion to the Wheel of Time series. It reminds me a bit of David (and Leigh) Eddings' style - a nice easy read and hard to put down. The worlds are well thought out, the characters are interesting and there's plenty of action. The Mistborn novels were my first purchases from his "own" novels - and I'm hooked. I've since bought the Skyward series and more recently (now that he's finished the 1st arc) the Stormlight series (yet to read).

Another nice add to the mistborn saga, where crime fiction meets mystery fantasy. It feels so nostalgic when the new characters visit places from the past-era and I really liked the comeback of some of the old characters. The handling of the plot is outstanding as ever. Sanderson goes for a more grown up, very painful and emotional climax, which I really enjoyed.While the world changes with the new invention of electricity, capitalism also enters the stage and revolt follows on its step. Sanderson steps out of the epic fantasy genre with this and gives the whole book a political sub-plot, which I really enjoyed.So why only 4 stars? I’ve been really cutting some slack for Sanderson regarding his books, but now that I’m reading his newer books I can’t help but to criticise the diversity and representation. This came out in 2015 and I think representation of different sexual identities and races is important. I get that Sanderson doesn’t rlly describe his characters that much when it comes to the physique, but in all the artwork he approved of they’re all white & they’re all straight.If you can create a whole new race of shapeshifting globs of muscles, you can create a queer character and a character that isn’t white.

It’s amazing to think on the continuity of the saga: the details fit so well, this one is probably my favorite of the whole series!

I bought this series for my wife after I listened to them in audiobook format. She loves it and they would make a fantastic gift for anyone who is even remotely into fantasy or action novels. Big recommend!

Die erste Mistborn-Trilogie hat mir auf jeden Fall besser gefallen, war trotzdem ganz okay!

Totally cool, epic fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. Who is in my opinion one of the best writers currently for sale. This is a big series (10 planned books) and it's of to a great start.

... but still a very good read. the end is kinda abrupt though, or at least so it seemed to me. And sad, as every good second in a trilogy (I'm pretty sure this is going to be a trilogy... isn't it).

In Shadows of Self gelingt Brandon Sanderson eine gelungene Fortsetzung von The Alloy of Law.Verglichen mit dem ersten Band der Scadrial-Wildwest-Trilogie häufen sich hier jedoch die Anspielungenauf die Ereignisse und das Worldbuilding der ersten Mistborn-Trilogie. Wer diese nicht gelesen hat,könnte mit subtilen Details schnell überfordert sein.Wie zuvor schon sorgen besonders die Kapitel aus Waynes Perspektive für Erheiterung - seine"Tauschgeschäfte" werden immer kreativer und absurder. Auch Steris wächst mit jedem Buch und wird immer facettenreicher.Für Band 3, der Ende Januar erscheint, höre ich bereits die Hochzeitsglocken läuten.Während die sekundären Charaktere für Auflockerung sorgen, gewinnt der Haupthandlungsbogen an Fahrt unddie Dimension des Konflikts eskaliert. Wie so oft bei Brandon Sanderson gibt es am Ende eine Wende. DieIdentität des Antagonisten dürfte bei Vielen für Entsetzen sorgen.Für Fans der Mistborn-Serie oder der Cosmere-Bücher im Allgemeinen ist dieses Buch sehr empfehlenswert. Als zweiter Teilder zweiten - oder laut Sanderson der 1,5-ten - Trilogie ist Shadows of Self jedoch nur bedingt als Einzeltitel zuempfehlen. Dafür würde doch zu viel Hintergrund fehlen.

Endlich hat man das Gefühl das wieder mehr großes passiert.Grundsätzlich ein ziemlich guter Roman, jetzt muss ich nochmal die Mistborn Trilogie lesen. Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich viel vergessen habe, was Hintergrundwissen angeht.Wieder ein gutes Buch von Sanderson, bin gespannt wie es weitergeht. :D

Wieder einmal schreibt Brandon Sanderson seine Mistborn-Reihe weiter, wieder geht es um Wax und Wayne. Und wieder einmal enttäuscht er nicht. Interessante Figuren, das nach wie vor großartige Magiesystem, gepaart jetzt auch mit mehr Technologie.Ja, ich gebe zu, mir haben die ersten drei Romane der Reihe besser gefallen. Bisher ist das Ganze noch nicht welterschütternd. Aber: Bei jedem anderen Autor würde ich für diesen Roman locker 5 Sterne geben, und nur weil Sanderson schon etwas besseres geschrieben hat, werde ich nun nicht anfangen, hier etwas abzuziehen. Und: Es werden einige Dinge angedeutet, die durchaus welterschütternd sein können. Das kann also noch im nächsten Teil kommen. Der schon angekündigt ist.Sanderson ist ein Autor, bei dem ich einfach nicht verstehe, wie man derartige Qualität am Fließband abliefern kann. Aber: Er kann das. Also, Daumen hoch!

A fair bit smaller than the entries of the original Mistborn trilogy, Shadows of Self makes up for it with a more complex and dynamic setting, set in what is approximately a turn-of-the-century technological era 300 years after the conclusion of the original trilogy. While I enjoyed the greater development that the original books had (being easily more than half as big again), Shadows of Self (along with the preceding novella The Alloy of law) answers the question I always had in the original trilogy, what would happen if the Metallic Arts were combined with guns?We get an interesting look at how society on Scadriel has evolved in the centuries since Ruin and Preservation were fused into Harmony, and it is interesting to note how lords and noble-born people still rule the world, with the working class resenting their wealth and frequent corruption.Brandon Sanderson has two great strengths as a writer, which are developing complex and nuanced magic systems, and developing complex and nuanced characters, and both of those talents shine here.As I said before, the addition of guns adds a whole new dimension to how the Metallic Arts are used, such as deflecting or accelerating bullets, and it makes a nice change having the combat move to mostly ranged as opposed melee fighting.For the characters, Sanderson makes them flawed, believable and emotionally resonant, and he doesn't limit this to just the heroes. As with his other works, the villains are as much the heroes of their own stories as are the heroes of this one, and it's great to see how a lot of people don't actually regard the heroes of this story as such, for example, a newspaper clipping pointing out just how much damage Wax tends to cause while hunting for criminals.The newspaper clippings were a great way to develop the world without bogging down the story with tedious exposition, but I admit it was very hard to read them on the kindle.Sanderson has stated that the Mistborn books coming out over the next couple of years will be shorter and faster-paced than the Stormlight Archives (which remain my Gold Standard for fantasy), and I have to admit that I would prefer more Stormlight Archives books than Mistborn books, but I still loved this book, and saying that this is inferior to some of his other works means very little when it is still vastly superior to most fantasy books. Although I really want another big, thick Brandon Sanderson book to sink my teeth into, when you compare this to most fantasy books that come out, it is easily a five-star read.
