The final Mistborn Era 2 book, The Lost metal, comes out November, and there's still so much to discuss on the previous book, The Bands of Mourning. Today, we are talking about the Southern Scadrians: their history, how they survived, their culture and religion, and then we discuss in depth the Sovereign's temple and the Bands themselves. This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Evgeni (Argent), Joshua (jofwu), Marvin (Paleo), and Payden (Otto Didact)!

The Final Empire: Recap & Reactions | SpanReads May 04, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to SpanReads: not your typical rereads podcast. Unlike the traditional rereads style, we won’t be going through each book chapter by chapter, but instead looking at different themes and the placement of the books within the wider cosmere. Each book on SpanReads will bring you four episodes: the first three, Reactions and Retrospectives, Character Relationships, and Magic System use in the story, will be spoilers for that book and prior books in the series, then we’ll cap things off with a full spoiler, cosmere episode. We are starting with Mistborn: The Final Empire, and this episode we're talking about our recap and reactions! This week we have Jessie (Lady Lameness), Mi'chelle (firstRainbowRose), Ian (Weiry), Rosemary (Kaymyth), Matt (Comatose), and Kadie (Aon Ene). SpanReads is a weekly series, coming every Wednesday! Check out our 2022 schedule here: https://www.17thshard.com/news/features/were-starting-a-reread-podcast-may-4th-starting-with-mistborn-1-r819/ We will also be posting SpanReads a few days early on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/17thshard For discussion, theories, games, and news, come to https://www.17thshard.com Come talk with us and the community on the 17th Shard Discord: https://discord.gg/17thshard Want to learn more about the cosmere and more?
