Traumkämpfer reviewed Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson
One of the weaker books
3 stars
Either I’m getting kind of tired of Brandon Sanderson’s writing style or this book in particular didn’t resonate well with me. It wasn’t boring and the story was interesting enough, it just felt kind of annoying at times.
I must admit that it’s been around ten years since I read the first Mistborn trilogy and while the fourth book in this series worked quite well as a standalone, this one was having a lot more references that I no longer understood. I wish there had been more explanations for those than endless repetitions of how pushing, pulling and metalminds worked.
Of course, as usual, the ending was very well written and made up for a lot of the shortcomings.
