nemo reviewed Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, #5)
Review of 'Shadows of Self' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Just posting a review for bragging rights. Finished it before anyone I know ;)
Its even more awesome than I was expecting. I often recommend people AoL as a Sanderson starter, but don't think I can any more because you need to read Mistborn to enjoy this book fully.
The book is totally worth the wait, and will make you feel awesome and shitty at the same time. Wayne will have you laughing so hard your friends will get worried and you might sob towards the end as things get far more complex than you'd thought you were getting into.
Also, I'm a total Cosmere nut. I read theoryland just for fun, and this book has some really good gems for the Cosmere lovers among us, especially in the Ars Arcanum. Hoid has a cameo role as well.

Why am I writing this! Blah, just go and read Mistborn and then AoL and then this book. Getting aboard the Sanderson train might get harder as we move ahead, and he's writing books faster than the GoT writers already.
Thinking about it, I might be fine with it if GRRM gives up and chooses Sanderson to finish the series. At least we'll get a happy ending that way.
