Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine and offers an opportunity for readers to showcase the books they just can't live without.
This week is a book that has me soooo excited in such a fangirl way.
But yes, this week I'm dying for Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. This is the fifth book in the Mistborn series, the second in the Wax and Wayne part of the series. Here's the official description from the author's website:
The trilogy’s heroes are now figures of myth and legend, even objects of religious veneration. They are succeeded by wonderful new characters, chief among them Waxillium Ladrian, known as Wax, hereditary Lord of House Ladrian but also, until recently, a lawman in the ungoverned frontier region known as the Roughs. There he worked with his eccentric but effective buddy, Wayne. They are “twinborn,” meaning they are able to use both Allomantic and Feruchemical magic.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.This book comes out in October of this year, which also just happens to be my birthday month, so this would be such a great present!
What are you waiting for this Wednesday?

Have a lovely day! :)
Mistborn was actually on by TBR for about two years and I finally picked it up during a slow month... it quickly got me out of a book slump! Have fun reading.
DeleteBRANDON SANDERSON. His books are fantastic. I'm about to start Mistborn, and I suppose this one is to be added to my accumulating pile as well. :) Thanks for coming by my WoW!
ReplyDeleteMr. Sanderson is amazing! I agree. Mistborn was his first epic fantasy I read but I've quickly become obsessed. Hopefully you'll love it as well!
DeleteNew to me but sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteThanks, you too. :)
DeleteI've never heard of this book before but it sounds really good! I've always had a thing for mystical societies and magic :D Great pick!
ReplyDeleteLaura @BlueEyeBooks
LOL! I know what you mean about covers. Sometimes the covers really don't do a book justice at all. The summary sounds very interesting! Nice pick.
ReplyDeleteShannon @ The Tale Temptress
