Show Notes

As we approach the end of part 2, things are taking a turn for Navani, Kaladin, and everyone still in Urithiru. We also meet one of the coolest side characters we've yet encountered, only to lose him immediately. So there's that. The situation is looking grim, but what will that mean for our protagonists?

We're wrapping up Part 2, and it's not a shiny happy sort of part ending. Then we get several different perspectives for interludes. The crew isn't exactly thrilled about the Vyre part, but Lift is getting some love.

Joe missed this one, and it's a shame because the Invasion has begun. Kaladin, Navani and co are separated and caught completely off-guard. Can they repel the invaders before it's too late?

Well, some of those predigments came to pass quite soon as it turned out. Beyond that we've got multiple of the crew sticking to their long-term predigments, and it's so fun to see! As Dac says at the beginning, this section is all Good Guy Adolin, and it's hard not to love him on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

First things first - Dac's sound is all messed up this episode. I know. Believe me I am painfully aware as this episode took about 3x longer than usual to edit as I had to repair as much of it as I could. It's still not good, but it's a lot better than it was when I started and thought about just cutting his track entirely. And now that you've all had to share my pain - these chapters continue building up to the main plot of this book. I think some of the crew is getting a little weary of the buildup, maybe because the book started at such a breakneck pace. Still, lots of cool pieces of information this time, and the theories, yall. The theories are getting out of control. It was worth having Dac's track just for some of the stuff he comes up with this time. So much fun. Can't wait to see what they think as we get to the real reveals of the book.

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.
