    294 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 26 to 28

    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

    293 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 22 to 25

    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/

    292 - Rhythm of War - Interlude 1 to Chapter 21

    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/

    291 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 17 to 19

    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!

    290 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 15 and 16

    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.

    289 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 13 and 14

    Things are coming to a head on the Ghostbloods front as Mraize gives Shallan (and her brain roommates) a final mission. In another part of Roshar a plan is set in motion by a newly-awakened Fused to cripple the coalition in a single stroke.

    288 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 10 to 12

    Joe missed this one, but we're talking about the wind down from the min-Sanderlanche that starts this book off. What seemed like a totally successful pair of missions brings a variety of consequences in the aftermath, and not just for our friends in Urithiru.

    287 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 7 to 9

    Kaladin and Moash come face-to-face again for the first time in a long while. It's bad. Beyond that, there's some good stuff in here. Kaladin takes down the new Fused because he's kind of a windbag. There's even a bit of Lift, which is generally fun. Still ... Moash.

    286 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 3 to 6

    The beginning of this book continues to move at a breakneck pace as Kaladin gets two separate epic battle scenes, and Navani's new creation descends from the heavens. At the same time concerns are raised regarding Shallan's ongoing stability and the sudden, unwelcome reappearance of a former Bridge 4 comrade.

    285 - Rhythm of War - Prologue to Chapter 2

    Well, here we go. It's time for the next Richard the Thick Book to hit our tables. Rhythm of War begins with some big revelations as to the character of Gavilar Kholin, and our crew has thoughts. Music is Whatever Comes Our Way by Miracle of Sound: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

    284 - Stormlight Jeopardy

    On the Sanderlanche Podcast we've been reading Brandon Sanderon's books for the first time and talking about them, in detail, a few chapters at a time. The problem is as we progress through his epic series The Stormlight Archive, that means it's been quite a while since we read some of these books. We started The Way of Kings in October of 2023. So, thanks to a listener's suggestion, we decided to do a review episode to hit some key points before we move into Rhythm of War, and the result is this - Stormlight Jeopardy in 3 rounds - one for each of the Stormlight books we've read so far. Whether you're already a listener to the podcast or you just enjoy The Stormlight Archive and want to play along, join us for this very special edition of The Sanderlanche Podcast!

    283 - Dawnshard - Chapter 17 to Epilogue

    Jaymee couldn't make it for the wrap-up, but we finished Dawnshard this week, and it was a fun Sanderlanche for this novella. So much happens at the end, but the resolution seems to have been pretty satisfying for the crew. Music by: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

    282 - Dawnshard - Chapters 10 to 16

    2/3 of the way through, and things are really heating up. The characters have seen through the tricks and are beginning to dig into the truth of Amia. Unfortunately that's exactly what The Gods Who Sleep Not did NOT want. So it's time for a giant monster attack. The podcast crew is really enjoying this one.

    281 - Dawnshard - Chapters 6 to 9

    We reach the halfway point of this novella, and the team is actually really vibing with a Stormlight story that answers questions without making you wait a thousand pages. Seems like we're really feeling good as we ease back into Roshar after our break on Lumar.

    280 - Dawnshard - Prologue to Chapter 5

    We are starting in on a new novella this week. It's time for Dawnshard. What will we learn about the mysterious objects for which the story is named? Well, not much this week - that's for sure. Still, some very interesting stuff as we seem to be setting up a story centered on Rysn and Lopen, an unlikely but highly entertaining pairing.

    279 - Tress of the Emerald Sea - Chapters 59 to Epilogue

    We've reached the end of another one, and what a trip this one was. Not to mention the wild Sanderlanche. In this episode we finally meet the Sorceress, find Charlie, and see Hoid's most dynamic ensemble yet. You really couldn't ask for much more. See how the crew feels about wrapping their first Secret Project on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

    278 - Tress of the Emerald Sea - Chapters 52 to 58

    Jaymee is back for our second-to-last episode of Tress. There are some pretty wild reveals in this one. Successful negotiations, presents for the crew, and sudden but inevitable betrayal! But it's the predigments that really go nuts this week. There are some big shots being taken, and some of them might even land, who knows? Me. I know. Probably most of you do as well, but I'm allowed a little drama!

    277 - Tress of the Emerald Sea - Chapters 44 to 51

    Jaymee is out again, which is a darn shame because her prediction paid off! Things have begun to kick off for Tress and co. There's an attempted mutiny and then a foiling of said attempted mutiny and then there's ... what was it again? Oh, right, a huge freaking dragon. So, yeah, that's a thing.

    276 - Tress of the Emerald Sea - Chapters 37 to 43

    Jaymee missed this one, and that's a shame because like me she's usually a big fan of Cosmere Science! We're finally back in Tress of the Emerald Sea. We get more details about how spore technology works, and Tress begins to science the heck out of this stuff, coming up with some ingenious ideas of her own.

    275 - One-Star Reviews of Oathbringer and more

    Sorry, everyone, things went badly at the last minute, and we were unable to record the episode we had planned continuing with Tress of the Emerald Sea. So instead I've got a second week of special episodes for you. This time Joe and I are talking about one-star reviews of our most-recently-completed-book, Oathbringer. And then, as an extra treat, I've got something else as well. Hope you all enjoy!
