The Sanderlanche Podcast

Everything is falling into place as we approach the Sanderlanche for this book. See how close our crew can get on their predigments when we're this close to the finale.

Some cracks starting to show a bit for our crew on this one, with some criticism being thrown around not just by the crew but by the emails coming in. So it's an interesting time on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Jaymee had to sit this one out. So it's an all-guy show. There's some interesting little tidbits coming out in these chapters, but really it's a lot of talking. We're all really loving MeLaan, though. The kandra is stealing the show on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Some interesting thoughts coming out of these chapters. How much of what Waxillium Ladrian does is him being a hero and how much is just a rich man refusing to follow the rules to do whatever he wants? And then, as Steris rises in everyone's opinions, Wayne takes a dive because of how he treats her. Things can turn around just that quickly on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This is an interesting set of chapters. Some very fun relationship stuff that our crew latches onto, but for the big shockers, make sure you stay tuned to the predigments. They came up with some doozies on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Wax finds a dead body and then has a little chat with god. So, you know, not a particularly eventful couple of chapters or anything. The crew is really getting drawn into the story now that our apparent villain is coming into focus. Though the name "Bleeder" doesn't exactly wow them. What is this kandra planning, and why does it seem to involve Wax? Find out in this book (one would hope), but certainly not in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Joe missed this one, but you'll find a little addition from him spliced awkwardly into the beginning of the episode. Are my editing skills absolutely par or what? ... Sub you say? Huh. Alright then. Anyway, Jaymee, Dac and I try to pick up the slack by really getting into these chapters and particularly ripping apart the use of High Imperial. So listen to all the fun we have with that on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

We get into the book proper this week, and there are mixed reactions. We're jumping right into some action which is always good, but there's also lots of setup here and no completely clear path as to what to expect next. So it opens the door to some excellent predigments on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this episode we meet Allomancer Jak, hero of the roughs. There are ... strong feelings about him amongst the crew. There's a reveal of the dark, terrible secret behind the existence of the Koloss (they're people; the secret is they're people, shocking, I know). We also get another wacky Wax/Lessie adventure. Just reading the prologue with no other context leads to some interesting feelings and expectations for this new book. Hear all about it on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

We have reached the end of The Alloy of Law! This week we get to hear what the crew thinks of the wrap-up on this one. Did it live up to the first trilogy's legacy?

Also this week, the launch of our Patreon page, which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/thesanderlanche

There won't be any new content there for a bit yet, but stay tuned at the end of the discussion in the episode for more information!

We finally solve the mystery of the Vanishers and how they ... you know, vanish things. That's a verb, right? Anyway, also there's another big firefight. Wax shoots and blows up some guys. Wayne beats them up. Even Marasi gets in on the action. With only one more episode left in this book, though, the real fun is hearing what the crew thinks will happen to manage to wrap this story up by the end. It's Sanderlanche time on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week we meet Ranette, who is an interesting character, if not quite what some of the crew had been hoping for. And then Wax has a plan. We're rapidly approaching the end of the book now, but exactly what that end will look like is still shrouded in mystery for our newbies. Some great theories this week, though. Is Mr. Suit not human? Is Miles an old friend in disguise? Is Marasi still the secret bad guy? Who knows? Not us on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week our crew gets to meet the infamous Miles Hundredlives, and then they get to see Wax fight him on top of a moving train. Also, Clamps appears. I can't stress enough how much we all love that there's a guy called Clamps in this book. Hear the myriad Futurama references that inevitably follow on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week there's a couple of attempted murders, which, let's be honest, is kind of a step back from all the actual killing in the previous episode. On top of that, we get some very emotional backstory on Wayne, which has each of our crew feeling like actual feelings for this wacky, off-the-wall sidekick. All this and Brandon's Kickstarter on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!! - FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker

So, yeah, that sums up the first chapter pretty well. And then there's a nice little chat about chemistry and human nature, just for a change of pace. Kind of whiplashy couple of chapters for our crew, but they came through them ok. Still a lot of suspicious looks being thrown Marasi's way. There's just something off about that girl. Hear what everyone thinks about her on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Jaymee is out this week. So the boys get together to discuss a chatty couple of chapters. Marasi's character starts to develop a bit more, and the Wax and Wayne relationship is really coming to life - that is until the party is stormed by bandits, a guy gets murdered, and Steris and Marasi are both kidnapped. Check out the reactions on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week we meet Wayne and the Harms family. We also learn about the mysterious railroad-robbing Vanishers gang. And while the mysteries of who the Vanishers are, and how and why they're pulling off these robberies is definitely enticing, the real gem for our crew this week was Steris. Just how crazy is this woman? Find out where we stand on this issue in this week's edition of The Sanderlanche!

This week we return to Scadrial for The Alloy of Law. Our crew is delighted by the western vibe and intrigued by Waxillium Ladrian, our new allomancer-about-town. But mysteries abound. What was the deal with Bloody Tan? Who is the mysterious Wayne? What kind of parent names their kid Barl? Join us as we begin a whole new Mistborn adventure on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This week is a special event, we actually read an entire story in one go. I know, it's like a revolution in podcast form. Join the crew as we talk about the infamous trapper, and the end of an era on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

We finish up The Emperor's Soul this week. And Brandon doesn't let us get away without a bit of action in the story.  Listen to everyone's reactions and thoughts on this piece now that it's over. Then get hyped for the next story we're reading, Sixth of Dusk, by going through the Drominad System essay with us, an essay filled with interesting Cosmere tidbits, particularly about how travelling between planets works. All this and a lengthy sidebar about Jack Black on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
