Cosmerekats: Journey to the Center of the Cosmere

We wrap up our first Cosmere book with a lot of gushing over how far the characters have come since that first episode. We hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did and we'll see you in Season 2 when we dig into book 1 of the Mistborn series.

In this penultimate episode of our Warbreaker read-through, Siri faces betrayal, Larimar confesses the truth about Lightsong's death, Vasher and Nightblood destroy a lot of evil, and Vivenna finally claims a place for herself in the halls of epic bad-assery.

As we continue the Sanderslide, we run down Sandertangents about a few Sanderthemes and gush over the Sanderskill for writing.

Welcome to the Sanderslide - ambushes, imprisonments, half-hearted flirting! And in the middle of so much action, we get a nice glimpse into Vasher and Nightblood's backstory as well as the nature of Cosmeric morality.

This week is packed with characters stepping up to take responsibility for their futures and their mistakes. Also, the Cosmere's lack of therapists sends Chris and Rose into a rant-session on trauma processing.

In this episode, Siri and Susi finally get sexy, Vasher goes into lecture mode, and Rose and Chris tackle the biggest question of all: Is Vivenna a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin?

More delicious realmatic theory comes into play while we watch Lightsong try one more time to push his responsibility onto someone else, and Vivenna faces down her biggest paradigm shift, yet.

In these chapters, Vivenna survives moment to moment through fear, illness, and starvation, while Siri flexes her political muscles against Treledees.

Siri and Susi flirt, while Vivenna hits an even deeper rock bottom, and Lightsong figures out a bit more of who he is. In our f-bomb moment, Rose dreams a fairytale of wielding Nightblood against abusers.

In this special episode we dig into the nasty techniques emotional abusers use to control their victims. It goes dark, so we removed our standard f-bombing limits and let them fly. We end by celebrating the true badassery of survivors who escape abusive brainwashing and move toward freedom and wholeness.
