Approx. 12.5 Hours • Unabridged © 2015 by Dragonsteel Entertainment, LLC 햯 2015 by Macmillan Audio, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10010 In his New York Times bestseller The Alloy of Law, the beginning of the second sequence in his massively popular Mistborn series, Brandon Sanderson showed us that you can take the lawman out of the Roughs, but you can’t take the Roughs out of the lawman. When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble house, he little imagined that the skills acquired during twenty years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there, too, just being a talented Twinborn—one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial—would not suffice. Picking up the action about a year later, Shadows of Self shows us much more about how the Mistborn world and society are evolving as technology and magic mix, the economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and religion increasingly becomes a cultural force, with four major faiths competing for believers. This bustling, optimistic, but still-shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick, Wayne, and the young constable Marasi must unravel the conspiracy before civil discord can stop Scadrial’s progress in its tracks. At the heart of the story this time are one of the Mistborn trilogy’s most intriguing creations, the kandra, nonhuman creatures who can impersonate any animal or person they’ve digested. Some of them now work directly for the god Harmony, functioning very much like our angels. But one has gone mad and into rebellion against Harmony, and she is just as determined as Lucifer to have her own way, even at the cost of everything accomplished since the rebirth of Scadrial’s civilization. Shadows of Self will give fans of The Alloy of Law everything they’ve been hoping for and, this being a Brandon Sanderson audiobook, more, much more. BRANDON SANDERSON grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He lives in Utah with his wife and children and teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University. In addition to completing Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time®, he is the author of such bestsellers as the Mistborn trilogy, Warbreaker, The Alloy of Law, The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, The Rithmatist, and Steelheart. He won the 2013 Hugo Award for The Emperor’s Soul, a novella set in the world of his acclaimed first novel,Elantris. For behind-the-scenes information on all his books, visit brandonsanderson.com.

Review: For those that became less than enchanted with the later Wheel of Time books that seemed very long-winded and didnt advance the plot much, this book may be for you. It is short, for one thing. The other is that it returns to the writing style of the first book (Eye of The World) and everything we loved about that book that got us hooked.One note,..

  • Introduction to WARBREAKER
    Sanderson/Warbreaker/1 Introduction to WARBREAKER Welcome! My name is Brandon Sanderson. Before anything else, I’d like to thank you for your interest in my books. I hope you enjoy Warbreaker. In case you don’t know, I’m a professional fantasy novelist. My first book, Elantris, was published in some thirteen languages, earned me a Campbell nomination, and got starred reviews in Publisher’s Weekly and the Library Journal. It was also picked by Barnes and Noble editors as the best fantasy or science fiction book of the year. My second book, Mistborn: The Final Empire, is out in paperback, as is the sequel, Mistborn: The Well of Ascension. Book three is out October 14th of this year. I also have a kid’s book Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians out from Scholastic Press. You can find sample chapters of these books at the end of this file. If you like Warbreaker, I humbly ask that you consider looking into my published works! As many of you already know, I was chosen in December of 2007 to complete Robert Jordan’s epic masterpiece The Wheel of Time. I’m hard at work on the twelfth and final novel in this series, titled A MEMORY OF LIGHT. It should be out sometime in the fall or winter of 2009. Coincidentally, that should be the same year Warbreaker is released. (Currently, it is scheduled for June 2009.) How this Book Came About Warbreaker is something of an experiment for me. For a long time, I’ve wanted to release an e-book on my website.

  • 2010 Annual Report
    2010 Annual Report TarValon.Net, Inc. Annual Report 2010 Property of TarValon.Net, Incorporated Compiled and Edited by Anne Vanolli With Assistance from Amanda Keen, Jessica Beaushene State of the Tower Address By Eleyan al‘Landerin, Amyrlin Seat It is a strange thing to sit here and write out what will be my final introduction to our Annual Reports. I find myself more readily thinking about where we've come in 10 years rather than where we've traveled over a period of 12 months. 2010 was the final year that I served in my full capacity as Amyrlin. Our 11th year is one of transition for all of us; it is certainly a major transition for me. The following articles will tell you about where we've put our efforts in our 10th year, and what those efforts have achieved. I am not overstating things when I tell you that the people leading these departments have done a fantastic job. Every department worked hard and accomplished goals that are absolutely worthy of praise, especially when we remember that these efforts have come from a team of volunteers. For me, though, their accomplishments in the last year have been especially important. As hands on (or meddling) as you've known me to be, the efforts and accomplishments of 2010 were largely reached without me. I didn't hand hold. I very rarely directly managed. Personally, I was able to focus my efforts on the Keeper transition, high level membership issues, our relations with WoT fandom in general, and on 10th Anni.

Adapted by noted comics writer Chuck Dixon with the full cooperation of Robert Jordan, and illustrated by artists Mike Miller and Harvey Tolibao, New Spring will delight any of Robert Jordans millions of readers.Tor is proud to collect all eight issues of New Spring in a single volume, which will also include developmental art, script pages, and correspondence between Jordan and Dixon. Ive read all the Wheel of Time novels except New Spring, so I decided to get the story from the graphic novel rather than the novel novel. I always had trouble visualizing Jordans world, which is ironic because he was very (over-) detailed about everything in his books, from the rugs looked like to what everyone was wearing.Now that I have an idea what the world looks like, I look forward to re-reading the series.

  • Foreshadowing, and What I've Learnt from Its Use in Fantasy
    Foreshadowing, and what I’ve learnt from its use in fantasy. One of the things that has always fascinated me in books is foreshadowing. For those of you who know me in real life, you might remember that over a year ago I did an essay on the foreshadowing present in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Now that I’ve ​ ​ read more, I have far more extensive examples of excellent foreshadowing, and by analyzing them I am able to understand how it is used, so that I can apply it to my own writing. First of all, what is foreshadowing? Foreshadowing is a literary device that is used to lay clues, all throughout a book (or a whole series) of the events that will happen later on. Those hints are there so that a reader will be able to pick up on them, and if it’s done well, give the feeling that something was surprising but inevitable, avoiding scenarios that may 1 turn into a deus ex machina .​ ​ ​ What have I learnt about foreshadowing? I’ve mentioned several times that the foreshadowing present in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time and Brandon Sanderson’s ​ ​ Cosmere is masterful. Through my notes, I have been able to identify and analyze different ​ instances where this device is used, and a few things have stood out. First, it’s normally hidden as other information, unless it’s blatantly obvious, which is not really the case. This information can be characterization, world building, or an element of plot. The authors hide it in plain sight, and you take the information to be just another detail, until you start getting close to the reveal, and it all starts adding up, showing the image that every piece of the puzzle had a part of.

  • J.R.R. Tolkien: the Founder of Modern Day Fantasy World Building
    Northern Illinois University J.R.R. Tolkien: The Founder of Modern Day Fantasy World Building Shayne A. Dwyer ENGL 491H Capstone Project Dr. Lara Crowley May 2nd 2016 Shayne A. Dwyer Abstract: This paper explores why J. R. R. Tolkien’s works have proven so influential on modern fantasy authors through analyzing one critical, and understudied, component of his works. Among the most beloved twentieth century novels, his works have become a benchmark for measuring excellence in fantasy literature. However, there is little criticism that actually explores the reasons for his impact on the fantasy genre as most critical conversations generally focus on the contexts for his writing. I will explore one of the reasons why his works have been so influential. Epic and High fantasy worlds all partake in world building, but Tolkien was the first great world builder. I suggest that his groundbreaking world-building techniques have served as the models for modern authors’ creative practices. In particular, I argue that Robert Jordan’s world-building systems were greatly influenced by Tolkien’s own. Jordan wrote The Wheel of Time, a fourteen volume Epic fantasy saga that has become a standard in modern fantasy. In the world of fantasy literature, this work is similar to Tolkien’s works in the way that the worlds have been established. I will analyze these two authors in comparison as a means to understand both writers’ world-building practices better, thereby throwing light on an important and understudied element of Tolkien’s creative process and on how it has influenced others, Jordan in particular.
