In spite of this he continued to be a dedicated writer. and accumulated quite a pile of rejection letters. Brandon submitted many manuscripts for publication . . . He says it made for a rather dismal social life, but he finished seven novels during his undergraduate years. During this era he went to school full time during the day, worked nights to pay for his schooling, and wrote as much as he could. Upon his return to BYU, Brandon became an English major, much to the dismay of his mother, who had always hoped he would become a doctor.īrandon began writing in earnest, taking a job as the night desk clerk at a hotel because they allowed him to write while at work. Brandon often says that it was during this time in Seoul, Korea that he realized that he didn’t miss chemistry one bit, but he did miss writing.

From 1995 to 1997 he took time away from his studies to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1994 Brandon enrolled at Brigham Young University as a biochemistry major. Shadows of Self will give fans of The Alloy of Law everything they’ve been hoping for and, this being a Brandon Sanderson book, more, much more. Wax and Wayne, assisted by the lovely, brilliant Marasi, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife stops Scadrial’s progress in its tracks. This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society now faces its first instance of terrorism, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Shadows of Self shows Mistborn’s society evolving as technology and magic mix, the economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and religion becomes a growing cultural force, with four faiths competing for converts. They are “twinborn,” meaning they are able to use both Allomantic and Feruchemical magic. There he worked with his eccentric but effective buddy, Wayne. They are succeeded by wonderful new characters, chief among them Waxillium Ladrian, known as Wax, hereditary Lord of House Ladrian but also, until recently, a lawman in the ungoverned frontier region known as the Roughs. The trilogy’s heroes are now figures of myth and legend, even objects of religious veneration. With The Alloy of Law, Brandon Sanderson surprised readers with a New York Times bestselling spinoff of his Mistborn books, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period corresponding to late 19th-century America.
