Show Notes
Last month, at Worldcon, Brandon read out the first excerpt of Mistborn: Ghostbloods, so you know we had to do an episode analyzing it!
Today we have Eric (Chaos), Evgeni (Argent), Adim (AAKS), Bonnie (Cosmeregirl), and special guest @Jasonioan, who makes excellent cosmere content as well!
If you're on Brandon's newsletter, he sent out the text, but you can watch Brandon's reading here: https://youtu.be/Lt0cBw51LWA?si=UVU3FIToO1XjEcBc Text of the chapters here: Ayven - https://wob.coppermind.net/events/546/#e16903 Bastrik - https://wob.coppermind.net/events/546/#e16904

This episode, we are digging into the lore of the demons and the Megalith from Fires of December. And... well, we sure go everywhere else in the cosmere, too. Get your bingo cards ready, because we don't even talk about the Megalith seal in this one. That'll be next time.
The Fires of December is out to backers! What did we think? Stay tuned to find out! We have a short spoiler-free section if you haven't read it yet, but then we quickly get into spoilers!
Today, we are sitting back down with Janci Patterson to discuss the new Cytoverse novel, Blightfall!
Blightfall, the first book of Riftwake is out! This is the follow-up to the Skyward series, written by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. What did we think? Well, stay tuned to find out! (Please note there are some Skyward series spoilers in this episode, but that is also true of Blightfall itself.)
We are finally caught up with WoBs! Wow, incredible. We discuss some news and the upcoming releases, some Intent shenanigans with atium moon stuff.
