The Sanderlanche Podcast

This will be our last episode for a while. December is just going to be too chaotic to get much recording in. So we're taking a 4 week break after this. Jaymee couldn't make it for this one, but we got to the end of Part 4, which is a downer, for real. Some of the interludes are quite interesting though!

We develop a few interesting theories here, but for the most part these are some really front-loaded chapters that seem to be setting us up for the finale as we approach the end of Part 4 of the book. So it's tough to get much solid theorizing done. Some top notch digressions in this one, though, as we go down a couple of classic rabbit holes. 

Joe is out this week, but we've got some interesting chapters. Nothing with the Shadesmar crew, which has Dac and Jaymee a little disappointed, but a lot of Dalinar, which I love. So I guess at least one of us wins. Though the Navani perspective is also a very popular one. 

We arrive at Celebrant, and the crew is excited to get some real details of a spren city. Then we leave almost immediately. I mean, there's a lot of meat in that "almost." Some very cool stuff shows up, but the newbies are still a bit disappointed. Meanwhile Dalinar is ... not having a good time, and no one is thrilled about that. Kaladin being depressed is par for the course at this point, but when our rock Dalinar starts to crumble, it's a bit tough.

Things really start to get interesting in Shadesmar while back in the physical realm things are also coming together, everything except Dalinar who has begun to fall apart. The crew has some interesting ideas this week, but predictions are becoming more difficult the further we move into the Stormlight Archive.

Shadesmar is not quite yet everything we were hoping for, but the story makes up for that with some terrific Szeth stuff in this section of chapters. We're all happy to see everyone's favorite Shin back on the scene, though what his relationship with his new sword means is still anyone's guess. 

5 chapters and 5 interludes on this one. So a fair amount of text we're covering. The Mem and Sheler interludes in particular were big hits with the newbies. Meanwhile Adolin continues to impress despite being completely unprepared for what's going on. When the pressure is on, the real man shows through. Check it out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This episode starts out hot and goes from there. These were some significant chapters, and we're not even to the end of Part 3 yet. There's battle, death, not one, not two, but three unmade. Did I mention death? Yeah, there's a lot of that. It's intense. Find out how our crew is dealing with it all on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche.

Jaymee is out again, but things are starting to heat up as Kaladin helps defend the walls and Shallan makes it into the Revel. 

Jaymee is out this week, which is a shame because there's a pretty big moment in the flashbacks this time. We've all been waiting for this one.
