Joe is out this week, but Jaymee, Dac and I have some interesting conversations about this section of the book. We're still in set up mode it seems like, but some interesting stuff is happening.
Our second episode of Warbreaker, and the crew is getting into some very deep theories already. It's interesting to see how their minds work with what Brandon has given them. Are they getting used to how he structures things and picking up on twists early, or will Brandon bamboozle them once again? You certainly won't find out for sure on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Starting a new book this week, and one I've been looking forward to for a while. The crew is thrown right into the deep end on this magic system and has a lot of thoughts as a result. Find out what they make of it all on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
We finish up White Sand. Hear the crew's overall reactions. I think it would be safe to use the word, "mixed." But this episode wraps up our foray into the world of graphic novels and preps us to go into Warbreaker on the next episode of The Sanderlanche!
In this, the penultimate episode of our White Sand journey, some interesting theories come out. The mysteries are beginning to take shape. The secret bad guys are coming out of the woodwork. Who knew there could be so many? That's this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
The crew is not wowed by the story thus far, nor by the very noticeable art change that happens in this section. Learning Khriss's backstory, though, is enough to keep the interest going. That and Trackt Ais, a surprising favorite on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
We begin book 2 of this 3-book graphic novel. Things are getting interesting. Alliances are made and deals are cut on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Continuing our exploration of this Cosmere graphic novel, the cast has arrived at the capital of Lossand, and what was a story about adventurers fighting in the desert becomes a tale of political intrigue and a young man being who has leadership suddenly thrust upon him... Or something like that. Magical sand go whoosh whoosh. The Sanderlanche, yo.
Leaving Scadrial behind, we head to Taldain for the earliest moment in the as-yet-published Cosmere. A graphic novel featuring some new faces and one who we know in passing. Our podcast crew has a very different sort of adventure ahead of them on this one. See how they handle a new style of storytelling on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
This is it, the end of The Lost Metal, the end of Mistborn Era 2, the end of the currently-published Mistborn content. We started the show almost 150 episodes ago with the first couple chapters of The Final Empire, and we've come a long way since then. In addition to looking at what happened in these chapters, the episode takes a little bit to look back on that whole journey. Find out how the crew feels about the Mistborn experience on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
The end of the numbered chapters, and the end of someone we've grown very attached to in this era. See how everyone feels about the loss on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Wax and Wayne have it out with their doppelgangers, and then it's time to try and sort out this bomb business once and for all, though it may be tougher than they anticipated. Is it blasphemy or recycling? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
We start out with some quiet talk, some tough introspection, and then we move on to the wholesale slaughter of an entire army. So, you know, at least we've got some variety in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche.
Everyone is back this week, and we've got some fun shenanigans with Wax smashing motor vehicles, Moonlight turning into a glowing magic lady, and we've finally, 3 books after they disappeared, found the missing women. Huzzah! Here's where you really get lost if you haven't read Elantris, unlike the rest of us on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Joe and Jaymee both had something come up this week. So Dac and I put something together that will hopefully be entertaining to tide everyone over until we can get back into the book next week. Sorry and thanks for sticking with us!
Some interesting little magical tidbits here, and then a brutal fight. So basically everything we could ask for from a Sanderson book. See what theories are flying around on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Lots happening in these chapters, and so we've got a lot to talk about. I reveal some deep Cosmere lore surrounding Aether of the Night. So if you're not familiar with Brandon's unpublished works, you too might just learn something new on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Joe couldn't make it to this record. So Dac, Jaymee and Data talk over the ramifications of the details that are coming to light about the Set's plan as well as Telsin's sudden, unexpected appearance. There's also some stage setting going on in these chapters for some very interesting things to come in the next session. All this and a photo from the future? On this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
And then Death arrived. We've got some more fun little lore details dropping here along with the first real conversation with Marsh in 300 years. I might argue the first since the end of The Final Empire since Ruin seemed to be influencing him quite a bit by the time of Well of Ascension. So Dac was excited if nothing else. We've got it all, lies, traps, and fragments of bone on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
These chapters are mostly one long fight, but it's a very cool fight with lots of interesting little bits of information dropped along the way. We also get introduced to Gertruda, which is a name we're going to have to come up with a nickname for before long, I think. Beyond that, some very interesting theories being presented by our crew on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
So many Cosmere knowledge bombs dropping this episode that you might need a metaphor fallout shelter. Or else just stand out in it and let it happen. No shortage of theorizing and stuff for us to dissect this week on The Sanderlanche! No new episode next week. New Years has thrown us for a loop.
Jaymee couldn't make it this week, but for some reason that always seems to make the episodes run longer. She must be a moderating influence on our ridiculous tangents. So there's a lot of interesting stuff this week, but it's probably also a tangent-heavy experience on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
We get some fighting in these chapters but also a lot of focus on the newest member of the cast, Maxillium Ladrian. And, honestly, our crew isn't sure that Wax is the most responsible parent. Though who wouldn't jump at the chance to poop on an airship? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Here we go, people. Hold on to your metal vials. We're diving into the recently published book, The Lost Metal. We're going to finish Mistborn era 2 on this show, potential spoilers be damned. Was it the right decision? Maybe. Too late to worry about that now. It's already happening. So strap in with your brand new Brandon Sanderson book for this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
In this episode we finish Perfect State, which is an experience in and of itself. After that, we talk about Dragonsteel Minicon a bit and finally reveal what the podcast will be reading next. So make sure you stay tuned through the end to find out!

This week we're taking a bit of a detour. We're moving into Perfect State, a non-Cosmere novella, for a couple of weeks. The reason? I need some time to read The Lost Metal and decide whether or not we can cover it next. So stay tuned to find out.
This is it, people. We've finished the currently-released Mistborn books (just in time for the new one). It has been a heck of a ride, wild predigments, crazy twists, and a lot of fun. How does our crew feel about the wrap-up to this book? And what's coming next? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! PS. If you're listening to this episode the day it comes out, find Joe and I at Dragonsteel minicon in Salt Lake City.
The whole crew is back together, and we're discussing what really feels like the end of the sanderlanche for this book. Wax returns from the dead, gets godly powers and defeats the villains. What's left? What indeed, but that's for next time. This week there's some very fun chapters, some discussion about Patron-exclusive content and the reveal of what will, potentially, be next for the show once this book is done. Make sure to listen all the way to the end on this week's episode of The Sanderla...
We're back to Mistborn! Well, everyone except Jaymee who was a bit under the weather this week. The Sanderlanche is well and truly underway with surprise twists, sudden but inevitable betrayals, and even main character deaths? Bit of a wild ride on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
After missing a week, we're back with what will now be the final episode of Baby Break Deux! We're reading one of the first things Brandon ever wrote, the short story Centrifugal. Very interesting. Very weird, though not as weird as it might be if you read it backward I guess.
