178 - The Way of Kings - Chapter 28 to Interlude 5

We finish Part 2 of the book, and it's not exactly ending with a bang, but certainly something other than a whimper. It's ... interesting? And we've got a couple of interludes where we get to go to new places and meet new people. That's always fun. Find out how many Axies fans we have on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

177 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 26 and 27

We're approaching the end of Part 2 of The Way of Kings, and things are looking a little TOO up for Kaladin. The crew doesn't trust it. Will the final chapters of Part 2 be his downfall? ... Well, even further down. He's pretty freaking down as it is. ... Ummm, something something, The Sanderlanche!

176 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 23, 24, and 25

175 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 20, 21, and 22

Joe is out this time, but Jaymee and Dac have some deep thoughts on what's going on with both Kaladin and Dalinar. Not only that, but the epigraphs continue to drop juicy tidbits of Cosmere lore, and we're all here for it on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! (metaphorically we're all here for it, not literally, as Joe was in fact not here for it)

174 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 18 and 19

We get our first look at one of Dalinar's visions, and our crew is a bit stumped. Also, we see a name we know. Interesting.

173 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 16 and 17

After another flashback to a young Kal and his ... girlfriend? We come back to the present where things may be looking up for Kaladin and Bridge 4. At the very least, he's taken steps in that direction. Though not many on the bridge crew seem inclined to step with him. Find out whether our crew thinks he can manage to turn things around on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

172 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 14 and 15

Some of the intricacies of Alethi culture are being revealed in these chapters, and our crew are starting to think, you know, maybe being an Alethi just ain't so great. Whoda thunkit? All this and statistics on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

171 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 12 and 13

We get a bit of man-on-crab action here, and the crew is all about it. Also, for everyone who actually reads these bits, stay tuned for a lengthy post-credits scene on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

170 - The Way of Kings - Chapter 9 through Interlude 3

Jaymee couldn't make this one, but we finished Part 1 of The Way of Kings and got through the first set of Interludes. Some old friends show up for Interlude 1, and Joe and Dac have some guesses as to who they are. Find out of they can spot the clues on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

All Shallan chapters this week, and the crew seems to be enjoying that part of the story. Can they predict where it will go, though? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

168 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 5 and 6

Turns out one of our viewpoint characters is actually here to "do crime." And you know what? The podcast crew is all about it. I will note, though, this episode begins with a rather lengthy discussion about how our show does/should handle spoilers from books we've already read, prompted by an email that we received. So if you just want to hear us talk about Stormlight you can skip to about the 21 minute mark on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

167 - The Way of Kings - Chapters 2, 3, and 4

This week we meet Shallan, and Kaladin finally makes it to the Shattered Plains, if not exactly the way he always imagined he would. The new names and concepts are still coming fast and furious, and our podcast crew is doing their best to keep up. Find out how it's going on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

166 - The Way of Kings - Prelude, Prologue, Chapter 1

Sorry we had to take a bit of a break there, but we're back with the first section of The Way of Kings. That's right, people, Stormlight is here. I know how much you've all been clamoring for it. See what the fuss has been about on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

165 - Warbreaker - Chapters 56 - Epilogue

And we have reached the end. With Stormlight on the horizon, does our crew feel like Warbreaker came to a satisfying conclusion? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

164 - Warbreaker - Chapters 52 - 55

Our penultimate episode for Warbreaker, and we're deep into the Sanderlanche. Things are happening. (Beloved?) Characters are dying. The podcast crew is wondering how it can possibly wrap up in time. Can it? Find out next week. Here what you'll find is theories about how it might end on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

163 - Warbreaker - Chapters 48 - 51

And here we are, the Sanderlanche has begun, and the crew is here for it. They've been asking for action this whole book? Well, here we go. It's action time ... after more talking of course. Who is the real bad guy, and did anyone even pay attention to the mentions so far of the Five Scholars? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

162 - Warbreaker - Chapters 43 - 47

The stage is being set, the pieces all moving into place for the Sanderlanche to kick off for this book. Everyone can feel it on the horizon. Hear the theories on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

161 - Fantasy Names Special

There was some serious illness striking Dac and Jaymee's home. So in their absence Joe and I took a break from Warbreaker to put together something else for you all. Our returning special guest Jedi Poet comes on to poke some fun at fantasy names in Brandon's work. This is followed up by a segment where I regale you all on the comedy of errors that has been my attempt to get Sanderlanche merch onto the market. It's a wacky substitute teacher kind of day on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! Link to the holiday special for anyone who needs it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zPDfgwvwE84

160 - Warbreaker - Chapters 37 - 42

Let's just be up front, the Vivenna chapters are a huge downer. Like, geeze, Brandon, could you be any meaner? Anyone who's read Stormlight knows that, yes, he probably could, but that's beside the point. Things take a turn for her, however. Meanwhile Lightsong is being proactive in his attempts to not have to do work. How's that going to work out for him, do you think? Find out what our podcast crew thinks on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

159 - Warbreaker - Chapters 33 - 36

A turn I've been waiting for since the beginning of the book happens in these chapters. The crew isn't terribly surprised, but Vivenna is shocked. This opens the door to some interesting predigments and some serious hatred for certain characters (and maybe not always the ones you'd expect) on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
