Shadows of Self Cover & Release Date

My favorite tweet is @JSebRibeiro, who said it starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman xD

The cover appears to depict Wax and Marasi being all serious and whatnot.

Or Wax and Steris or Wax and Ranette or Wax and Wayne in drag.

What are the four faiths?

Probably Sliverism, Survivorism, Pathism and Neo-Trellism.

EDIT: My bad. It's not neo-Trellism it's just Trellism which is neo-Trelagism. I was reminded of this by reading the linked thread which pretty much says all of this anyway.

Cover to me screams, "Mistborn, now with more vampires and steampunk."

Love the painting and the cover, except for the fact that Wax's head obscures part of the title. It could easily have been scaled so that wasn't a problem, and I am not a fan of that style.

October 6th? The day after my birthday! Thanks for the present, Brandon!

>Vampire/steampunk novel by Sanderson

I'd read it.

Dat cover doe. 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Wax looks like Tome Cruise. 

Not really how I pictured Marasi, but... dang. 

I really love this cover! Can't wait 'till October.

I hope we get introduced to a Oracle, a electrum misting, because they can actually the shadows of themselves. Shadows of self.

I actually found the original reference to the term "Shadow of self." In Hero of Ages, Sazed is talking to the First Generation of the Kandra, who were Alendi's fellow Terris packmen. It reads "'His [Preservation's] mind, however, was all but destroyed--for this was the sacrifice he made to imprison Ruin.' 'The sliver remains,' another reminded him. 'The shadow of self.'" Apparently "shadow of self" is the term the Kandra elders use for the mist spirit who appears and stabs the Hero's companion near the Well. That raises an entirely different set of possibilities.

By the way, I keep editing this post to try to get the quote at the top to actually register as a quote.

Actually Brandon has been asked about this, and the title actually refers to something else:

Questioner: My other question is about the phrase “Shadows of Self”.  It’s mentioned in the last Mistborn book [...] so are we ever going to see the shadows in Shadows of Self?

Brandon: We are not going-- Well yes and no.  What it is referencing in this book is the different roles that each person plays in their life.  That is the core meaning of Shadows of Self.  But there is also, there is a kandra involved, which they change shape and become different people, so “who are you?” and identity is a big thing.
