This will be our last episode for a while. December is just going to be too chaotic to get much recording in. So we're taking a 4 week break after this. Jaymee couldn't make it for this one, but we got to the end of Part 4, which is a downer, for real. Some of the interludes are quite interesting though!

We develop a few interesting theories here, but for the most part these are some really front-loaded chapters that seem to be setting us up for the finale as we approach the end of Part 4 of the book. So it's tough to get much solid theorizing done. Some top notch digressions in this one, though, as we go down a couple of classic rabbit holes. 

Joe is out this week, but we've got some interesting chapters. Nothing with the Shadesmar crew, which has Dac and Jaymee a little disappointed, but a lot of Dalinar, which I love. So I guess at least one of us wins. Though the Navani perspective is also a very popular one. 

We arrive at Celebrant, and the crew is excited to get some real details of a spren city. Then we leave almost immediately. I mean, there's a lot of meat in that "almost." Some very cool stuff shows up, but the newbies are still a bit disappointed. Meanwhile Dalinar is ... not having a good time, and no one is thrilled about that. Kaladin being depressed is par for the course at this point, but when our rock Dalinar starts to crumble, it's a bit tough.

Things really start to get interesting in Shadesmar while back in the physical realm things are also coming together, everything except Dalinar who has begun to fall apart. The crew has some interesting ideas this week, but predictions are becoming more difficult the further we move into the Stormlight Archive.

Shadesmar is not quite yet everything we were hoping for, but the story makes up for that with some terrific Szeth stuff in this section of chapters. We're all happy to see everyone's favorite Shin back on the scene, though what his relationship with his new sword means is still anyone's guess. 

5 chapters and 5 interludes on this one. So a fair amount of text we're covering. The Mem and Sheler interludes in particular were big hits with the newbies. Meanwhile Adolin continues to impress despite being completely unprepared for what's going on. When the pressure is on, the real man shows through. Check it out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This episode starts out hot and goes from there. These were some significant chapters, and we're not even to the end of Part 3 yet. There's battle, death, not one, not two, but three unmade. Did I mention death? Yeah, there's a lot of that. It's intense. Find out how our crew is dealing with it all on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche.

Jaymee is out again, but things are starting to heat up as Kaladin helps defend the walls and Shallan makes it into the Revel. 

Jaymee is out this week, which is a shame because there's a pretty big moment in the flashbacks this time. We've all been waiting for this one. 

It's almost like a tease with these Dalinar flashbacks at this point. We know something is going to happen, but when?! Meanwhile, Kal is making friends with lighteyes? What is Roshare coming to? 

We meet an unexpected friend in Kholinar, to mixed reactions from our crew. And during email time another Moash discussion with a novel take on the debate. 

The whole crew is back this week for our arrival at Kholinar. It was quite the event, and there are thoughts. Despite several interesting revelations, Dalinar's chapter almost seems like an afterthought with how interesting our crew is finding the other story on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Jaymee is out again, but we've got some very interesting new stories happening in the interludes here. The one about Aimia in particular really got the crew's interest. They're wishing Brandon would write a whole short story dealing with that mystery. If only.

We wrap up part 2 of Oathbringer with some interesting things to discuss, including the authors behind the letters in the epigraphs. Find out who sent them on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

It's Dac's turn to be out this week, which is a shame because he missed out on some corking Moash perspectives. Ah well. 

Joe is out again this week, and I'm sorry because for some reason, Dac's audio ended up being a bit fuzzy in places. It didn't sound like that when we recorded, but the file did. Cleaned it up as best I could. Beyond that, a bit of interesting info popping up through these chapters, but for the most part they seemed like kind of positioning chapters, setting the stage for what's coming next. Hear what Dac and Jaymee thought about them on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Basically, some of our characters are really going through it this week. Shallan has ... well, Shallan problems. Like some of these things it's hard to imagine anyone but Shallan having to deal with. On the other hand, Teft has some really serious stuff happening, and the saddest part is, it's some very real stuff he's dealing with. And then there's Dalinar who has to deal with Lift, and we all know how tough that can be. See what the crew has to say about the tribulations on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Joe is out again this week, but we've got some big lore dumps to go over. When Brandon starts giving answers, he doesn't do it halfway. It's awesome! Also, here's the Worldswappers website I mention during the wrap-up. Check it out if you're going to DSNX25 and want to participate: https://worldswappers.com/

We are 4 once again, and just in time for a really interesting flashback and some killer character stuff on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
