SHADOWS OF SELF by Brandon Sanderson

‘Shadows of Self’ didn’t quite capture the fast-paced and lighthearted style I loved in the previous book, making it slightly less captivating.

‘The Alloy of Law’ is an impressive pivot from the original Mistborn trilogy, and its light-hearted tone was addictively fun.

Heartbreaking and entertaining, ‘Stay with Me’ explores the painful clash between love and cultural expectations.

‘The City of Brass’ had so much promise, but the drawn-out, confusing execution and numerous YA tropes gradually smothered my interest.

‘The Obelisk Gate’ brilliantly expands on the foundation set in The Fifth Season, but I did not find it as gripping.

Despite an intriguing start and atmospheric setting, I struggled to stay invested in ‘The Midnight Feast.’
