The Sanderlanche Podcast

We're wrapping up Part 2, and it's not a shiny happy sort of part ending. Then we get several different perspectives for interludes. The crew isn't exactly thrilled about the Vyre part, but Lift is getting some love. 

As we approach the end of part 2, things are taking a turn for Navani, Kaladin, and everyone still in Urithiru. We also meet one of the coolest side characters we've yet encountered, only to lose him immediately. So there's that. The situation is looking grim, but what will that mean for our protagonists? 

Joe missed this one, and it's a shame because the Invasion has begun. Kaladin, Navani and co are separated and caught completely off-guard. Can they repel the invaders before it's too late? 

Well, some of those predigments came to pass quite soon as it turned out. Beyond that we've got multiple of the crew sticking to their long-term predigments, and it's so fun to see! As Dac says at the beginning, this section is all Good Guy Adolin, and it's hard not to love him on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!   Music by Miracle of Sound: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSfoxYTlCPFfglckBLrjpsA

First things first - Dac's sound is all messed up this episode. I know. Believe me I am painfully aware as this episode took about 3x longer than usual to edit as I had to repair as much of it as I could. It's still not good, but it's a lot better than it was when I started and thought about just cutting his track entirely.  And now that you've all had to share my pain - these chapters continue building up to the main plot of this book. I think some of the crew is getting a little weary of the buildup, maybe because the book started at such a breakneck pace. Still, lots of cool pieces of information this time, and the theories, yall. The theories are getting out of control. It was worth having Dac's track just for some of the stuff he comes up with this time. So much fun. Can't wait to see what they think as we get to the real reveals of the book.

Joe is out this week, but these chapters drop a lot of interesting bits of information. Shallan engages in some espionage, Navani has a moment with her daughter and then a different kind of moment with her mysterious correspondent, and our crew continues to get more lost about what the heck is going on in Shallan's head. Good times.    Music by Miracle of Sound

We've got some calm chapters this week as part 2 begins in earnest, but they're also packed to the brim with juicy details and some confusing revelations as to the nature of Shallan's relationship with her alters. There's laughter, new Shards, and head scratching galore on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!   Music by Miracle of Sound: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

We get our first interludes of the book, and it's interesting that this is the first time we've already known everyone who gets an interlude. Does that mean Brandon has run out of new characters for us to meet? Yeah, right. Starting part 2 is bringing out some interesting plot lines, though. The crew is especially excited to return to Shadesmar with Adolin and Shallan.    Music by Miracle of Sound: https://miracleofsound.bandcamp.com/ The episode mentions a couple of funny movie scripts that someone emailed us links to. After reading them, the first one The Way of Kings I'm going to hold off on letting the crew read because there's a couple of names in there we haven't met yet. No big spoilers though. So I'll include the links here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cremposting/comments/ubseae/plot_of_the_stormlight_movie/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cremposting/comments/17s5bx2/a_sneak_peek_at_the_mistborn_movie_plot/  

Jaymee is out this week, but we've got some fun going on as we reach the end of part 1. Make sure you listen through the end so you don't miss one of our best Moash emails ever!

Some serious Cosmere stuff coming out this time. The only in-universe audience for it is Kaladin, though, who doesn't understand half of it and doesn't care much about the rest. To be fair, he's got his own stuff going on. And a mysterious sphere that harkens all the way back to the beginning of The Way of Kings. This should be interesting.
