Congratulations to Brandon Sanderson and his team on debuting at #8 on the Hardcover Fiction New York Times Bestseller List with the latest installment in the Mistborn series: Shadows of Self!
As Mistborn fans have since discovered, Shadows of Self marries the Ol’ West shenanigans of The Alloy of Law with the deep worldbuilding of Sanderson’s initial Mistborn trilogy, resulting in some surprising new implications for the continued evolution of the world and magic depicted in Sanderson’s Mistborn books.
Those implications will be explored in the next Mistborn novel The Bands of Mourning, coming out soon on January 26, 2016. Don’t believe us? Here’s a sneak peek to prove it!
But only just a peek…for now.
“Lord Ladrian, could another Feruchemist use your metalminds?”
“Of course not,” Wax said. “Everyone knows that.”
“Why?”
Good question, mystery question-asker. Good question…
He/She’s going to get a RAFO.
With Ancillary Mercy coming in at #10 on the trade list this seems to be good week for writers I like.
@2. Right?!? All sequels, too, which are harder to place on the list. And George R. R. Martin is sitting near the top of the NYT with a compendium of the Dunk & Egg stories. Sci-fi and fantasy is kinda blowing up the store this week.
Well done!
One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Mr. Sanderson’s books is the way that characters often have imperfect knowledge about the magic they’re using. The reader learns more about the system as the characters discover secrets and correct their misconceptions.
Congrats! Very awesome!
And by the way I have a giveaway for this book on my blog:
