Where Alloy of Law felt like it was missing something, Shadows of Self fully makes up for it. With the characters now feeling much more fleshed out and engaging, the plot as well had me wholly invested. Pacing was much better, and the relationship dynamics between the main characters (especially Wax and Wayne) really shines as the highlight of this book. Fun and witty dialogue, deep personal stakes, and a plot twist that made me instantly want to reread the book with new context, Shadows of Self has me hooked and on board with the future of this new era of Mistborn books.

Con este segundo tomo de la nueva trilogía de "Nacidos de la Bruma" queda claro que la intención es hacer novelas con una trama autoconclusivas, pero con un telón de fondo común. Sobre los personajes planea en todo momento la sombra de un personaje que puede estar moviendo los hilos, o no. Recuerda a las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes, con sus ayudantes, y la presencia continua de Moriarty tras todo lo que ocurre.

Tiene más intención de crear historia que la anterior novela, sobre todo ahondando más en la personalidad más turbia y profunda de los personajes. La inclusión de elementos presentes en la primera trilogía es un punto a favor que da frescura al conjunto.

Ok, most of the book I was kind of disappointed cause I thought it was predictable but the end had me at the edge of my seat. I have mixed feelings regarding God, if you know what I mean, but I understand what he had to do for the greater good. Also Marasi's part in the Epilogue got me thinking...
