YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

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.

My copy came in a little early, so I started it. I hope you don't mind.

Ch 5 - (view spoiler)[ Ooo, I am loving the set up so far. I think this killer is going to be really challenging for them to capture. I also love that Marasi has joined the constables instead of becoming a lawyer. Though, I do wish that sometime in the last year(?) that Wax had realized he liked her more than Sterris, but it sounds like even she has started to succumb to Wax's charms. I can't wait to see where the story leads us. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11 - (view spoiler)[ This is getting good. A Condra killer - the killer could literally be anyone. Even these passcodes are silly - what if the condra is already one of these people? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 17 - (view spoiler)[ His uncle is really horrible. Has Wax even tried to find his sister yet? It's been a year since book 4, and this is the first mention of her. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - oh man! (view spoiler)[ That was shocking! Lessi was the condra the whole time that he fell in love with her. I don't blame Wax for being a mess right now, but again, he has other fish to fry! What about his uncle, his sister? He can't just sit around moping. He can still be mad at God and do what he needs to do. Why is it that men always get so upset about the idea of someone telling them what to do, when they are usually pretty good at issuing orders and assuming that people will follow them? (hide spoiler)]

Do you want to read the next one? I probably won't get a copy for 2 weeks or so.

Starting this today

Might start today as well. Or tomorrow.

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[How could someone say that Wayne doesn't deserve to be alive?! That's so wrong. Also, when did he kill her father? Was it before he joined Wax? Need to know more! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Bleeder is just peak crazy person right now. And she had something to do with Lessie's death? And what's her issue with Wax anyway? What's she trying to accomplish? So many questions... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[I love how smart Wax is. And how efficient Wayne is. But Bleeder has been two steps ahead this whole time. Though I have no idea how she plans to kill Sazed. Maybe she wants to kill the people's belief in him? Because he's literally God, and she can't do anything to actually hurt him. (hide spoiler)]

The End
(view spoiler)[I so badly wanted one last conversation with Sazed. Just to hear his side of things. How much was his plan? And it just seems so cruel, what he did. And I'm worried about Wax. (hide spoiler)]
