21 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Chapters 5, 6, and 7 Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

Dac, Joe and Jaymee continue to be bombarded by the new mysteries that this second book is unveiling during its opening chapters. One thing, at least, that puts them on more familiar ground is the opportunity to hate on Spook some more. So that's got to be comforting. But the deeper questions remain. What is the mist thingy? Who is the Watcher? What's up with Marsh? And did Sanderson really have Vin give the kandra a dog's body so that he could make a joke about the guy with the dog's body being her new dogsbody? Who knows. We certainly don't on this newest episode of The Sanderlanche!

20 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

We start in on the second book of our Sanderson journey this week with The Well of Ascension. Seemed like a good idea after finishing The Final Empire. It would have been an odd choice to jump to Warbreaker or something at this point, I think. Will our hosts be happy that Elend hasn't been deposed in the time between books? What will they make of The Watcher and the mysterious thing in the mists? Do they expect that Straff Venture will be getting his long-awaited Father of the Year trophy this book? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

19 - The 11th Metal and Predigments Retrospective Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

In this episode we look back over some of the most accurate predictions from our read-through of The Final Empire. Some of them aren't so out there as to be mind-blowing, but some were eerily correct. After that, we discuss our first Cosmere short, The 11th Metal. Kelsier fights his first mistborn, and Gemmel gets a sweet fork. Everybody wins, except for that guy who died I guess, but he was a jerk anyway. All this and more on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 18 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 37, 38 and the Epilogue Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

This is it, ladies and skaa, the end. Our three newbies finish their first ever Sanderson book. As their first true Sanderlanche reaches its denouement, will they be amazed and enamored of the story's intricacies? Or will they be horribly disappointed by its faults? Find out by tuning in to this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 17 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 35 and 36 Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

In these chapters, the revolution begins, Vive la Révolution! It's just like the theme song you've been listening to at the start of our show this whole time. What a crazy random happenstance. Vin Batmans her way into Kredik Shaw only to end up in something of a sticky situation. Meanwhile, Dac, Jaymee and Joe are trying to figure out how on Scadrial this story could possibly wrap up with only 6% of the book to go. Don't be too hard on them, folks. This is their first Sanderlanche. They don't know quite yet how these things go. Join us as we inch ever closer to the incredible finale on this week's penultimate episode of The Final Empire as covered by The Sanderlanche crew!

Episode 16 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 32, 33, and 34 Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

The Sanderlanche has begun in earnest now, whether our good hosts recognize it yet or not. People have died (or have they?), and the speed with which things are getting thrown at us is rapidly approaching break-neck. What is Kelsier's true fate, and how will this book end? Join us as we debate these points on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 15 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 30 and 31 Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

In this week's episode, Vin finally gets back at Shan Elarial ... by straight-up murdering her. I suppose that's one way to do it. In the meantime, we delve into some of the mysteries of allomancy and why Vin is just so dang powerful. And then we talk about Final Fantasy. Because of course we do. What's Brandon Sanderson's favorite Final Fantasy game? We'll happily tell you all about it on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 14 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 28 and 29 Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

In this week's episode, the hosts think we're building to something big as the book moves into the last quarter. No one is sure who they can trust. Elend is worried about Vin's secret motives and our hosts have started to turn a wary eye toward Sazed as well. If you can't trust your steward, who can you trust? And the predigments section heats up as Jaymee blasts in with a wild (and might I add, very thoroughly researched) prediction. Who's right? Who's wrong? Who's lying through their teeth? Join us for definitive answers to none of these questions on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 13 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 26 and 27 Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Kelsier brings back hope to the crew and to our hosts! Joe is so full of hope that he's practically tear-bending. There's an inspirational speech, a whole lot of beheadings and the reveal of the 9th metal (it's about time). Check out the group's reactions to all of this as well as some killer predigments on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Episode 12 - Mistborn: The Final Empire - Chapters 24 and 25 Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

Pewter dragging and the merciless slaughter of thousands of skaa soldiers. Just another day in The Final Empire, right? We see the gang's plan fall apart before our very eyes in these chapters. Listen to us talk about the repercussions of this disaster, Yeden's incompetence and just continue to really give Spook a hard time in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
