Things have taken a turn for Kaladin. The crew doesn't for a second think he's actually going to die at this point, though how crazy would that be? What will happen, though? Find out what they think on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Despite us moving into Part 3 of the book with this episode, I think Szeth's interlude is the high point for the crew. Everyone wants more of this mysterious, put-upon Shin fella. Though Shallan and Kaladin's stories are developing a bit as well. Where's it all heading? We've got some pretty interesting predigments as to that on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
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!
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? ...

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)
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.
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!
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!

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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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...
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!
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!
Some cool backstory and an appearance by the infamous Sexy Drifter himself this week. Beyond that, though, there's some impatience among the crew to see some more Vasher and find out what that guy is up to. You'd think some Hoid would tide them over on mysterious guys running around the place, wouldn't you? Ah well, the theories are really heating up on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Our podcast crew is still antsy for some action, but they're going to have to settle for information. Some very interesting factoids coming out of a conversation between Siri and Lightsong, but the really juicy tidbits are from a brief glimpse of Vasher and Nightblood. See how the crew spins these bits of info into theories of gold on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Siri and the God King make some progress on his learning, while Vivenna and co. continue to make progress in their own way. The big thing, though, is Lightsong's storyline seems to be really kicking into gear, which is exciting for our podcast crew. Everything is moving along smoothly on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
After I was gone for a week, we're back, and we've got a couple of talky chapters, but interesting conversations for all that. Even better, Lightsong actually gets a bit proactive, and the crew is all for it. All of this and our favorite horror movies on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
The crew has been looking for some action, and they got ... well, SOME action and a cute zombie squirrel. So there's that. Vasher is back this week, up to some weird shenanigans. Secrets about the God King are revealed both to Siri and to us, and everyone is speculating left and right about what this could mean for the rest of the book on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
Joe is back, and we've got some chapters centering mostly around a rather eventful session of the Court of the Gods. Siri is being presented to the Court. Vivenna is there to check things out, and it would appear so is Vasher. Meanwhile Lightsong is getting roped into some political intrigue ... unless of course he doesn't. It's hard to be sure with this guy. Is our podcast crew being drawn in by the narrative, or are they about ready to break things up with a bit of action? Find out on this wee...
