Paul Smith asked this question about Shadows of Self (Mistborn, #5):

I am about an hour into this book but to be honest I am struggling. I loved the original Mistborn trilogy, it was darker and more adult than this and the alloy of law. This and the Reckoners books seem much lighter fodder as if Brandon is aiming them at a younger audience? I would like to read the stormlight archives, please advise me if these books are closer to the Mistborn trilogy or closer to the recent books?

The main reason I replied to this is question though was to enthuse upon the storm light archives!! Seriously good!! More serious and definitely going to be along the lines of an EPIC series like the Robert Jordan 'wheel of time' seri s brandon Sanderson finished off! I'm super excited for the 3rd book in that series to be released in November! Would definitely recommend!(less)
