The Sanderlanche Podcast

Our crew is really vibing with these chapters, despite the continued lack of action scenes. Don't get me wrong, Joe and Dac still don't love Cett, but our friends from Terris have finally started really digging into this research on the Deepness, and that's got everyone excited, not to mention our first Breeze POV. The sad part is, we're quickly running out of suspects for who the Kandra is. Could Joe have been right all along? Anything is possible on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this episode, we've got some meta discussions of the book and how we're feeling now that we're about halfway through. Jaymee has had enough of library book club scenes, and Joe and Dac have both already had enough of Cett, despite this being his first actual appearance. Then we get into some of the secret, hidden mysteries of the Kandra and get outraged that Vin doesn't care as much as we do. There are so many juicy secrets out there just beyond our reach, and our crew is starting to get tired of that too, on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

A deep discussion of The Deepness takes place in these chapters, and our newbies couldn't be happier about it. Who cares about who gets to be king when there's a mysterious (possibly tentacle-laden) monster out there waiting to destroy the world ... or something. You know, it's not entirely clear. In any case, that's followed up by the shocking and unexpected introduction of Cett himself. Now this is good television - err - book. Everyone was surprised by this twist, but only one of our hosts instantly shouts the equivalent of, "Off with his head!" Find out who the most bloodthirsty of the bunch is on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Vin and Elend go into the beast's lair, and we spend a decent amount of time realizing just how disgusting Straff Venture really is. I mean, we thought he was bad before, but that was peanuts to what we get to see from him this week. Our newbies are still looking for some action to kick off, but they keep getting politics instead. Ah well, with three armies hanging around and an anonymous allomancer hit squad in the wings, we're bound to get some good stuff at some point, right? Unless everyone decides to sit down and talk things out like mature adults. Not bloody likely, not if we have our way on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this episode, everyone but Tindwyl is happy to have Sazed back in town; no one but Breeze cares much for Allrianne; and each of our three newbies is ready for some action to kick off. Shockingly, no one was thrilled that we took a chapter off to go shopping. Go figure. Hear what Dac, Jaymee and Joe have to say about this character-focused chapters in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week Sazed is back, and trouble is following right on his heels, but the crew takes it better than any of us expected. We also get to meet Allrianne Cett, daughter of Ashweather Cett, one of the men currently besieging Luthadel. We don't trust her. Jaymee thinks she might even be a Kandra. Then again, we think that about nearly everyone at this point. Most of all, we're all delighted by Vin and OreSeur's heart to heart. These two crazy kids (well, one crazy kid and one crazy bone-eating monster blob dog, but that's a mouthful) might just make this thing work after all. The big question everyone is asking, though, is, this book is called The Well of Ascension; when is this going to turn into a buddy road trip movie where Vin and Sazed go find the well? When indeed. The story feels like it's beginning to heat up, and our newbies are excited. Check it out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this week's episode, there's a lot of bad going down. Straff Venture is ... well, horrible. I mean, there's not much more to say, but we do say a lot about how horrible he is. Then there's the Koloss who are ... also horrible but in other ways. We spend a pretty good amount of time being creeped out about them. And then Joe has a rant about Spook. Spook who isn't even in these chapters. Yeah, it's a long story. Find out for yourself by tuning in to this newest episode of The Sanderlanche!

In these chapters, Elend gets put down, which everyone loved, Sazed meets a crazy guy, which everyone is disturbed by, and Elend gets a makeover, which, oddly, is starting to bring Joe over into Camp Elend. Who woulda thunkit? The same old mysteries are still haunting us. For example, what is the Deepness? We've gotten through a book and a quarter now, and the question has chosen, very inconsiderately, to not answer itself, much to everyone's frustration (but particularly Dac; Jaymee almost seems happy just imagining a tentacle monster and calling it a day). Join us as we continue to dig into the ever-more-mysterious world of Scadrial on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week our heroes explore the spooky Conventical of Seran, wary of danger at every turn, and then we have a friendly chat with a mist puppy and a strategy session with the crew. Wait, I say "our heroes," but are the heroes of this podcast really the heroes of the book, or are the heroes of the podcast Jaymee, Dac, and Joe? Deep questions. Deep, completely irrelevant to anything questions. Really makes you think. Or maybe it doesn't. Whatever. The episode has all your favorites, discussion, theorizing, hating on Spook. There's even discussing and theorizing about the hating on Spook. All this and Inquisitor Kwaan on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In these chapters we get some political machinations, a new army, and a shocking number of skeletons in closets. Not the metaphorical kind. The kind that are made of bones and hanging out in closets for some reason. It seems like there's a new kandra in town, and Jaymee, Joe and Dac all have theories on who it might be. Come and see if anyone has the least clue what they're talking about (spoiler: of course we don't) on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
