Well, here we go. It's time for the next Richard the Thick Book to hit our tables. Rhythm of War begins with some big revelations as to the character of Gavilar Kholin, and our crew has thoughts.

On the Sanderlanche Podcast we've been reading Brandon Sanderon's books for the first time and talking about them, in detail, a few chapters at a time. The problem is as we progress through his epic series The Stormlight Archive, that means it's been quite a while since we read some of these books. We started The Way of Kings in October of 2023.

So, thanks to a listener's suggestion, we decided to do a review episode to hit some key points before we move into Rhythm of War, and the result is this - Stormlight Jeopardy in 3 rounds - one for each of the Stormlight books we've read so far. Whether you're already a listener to the podcast or you just enjoy The Stormlight Archive and want to play along, join us for this very special edition of The Sanderlanche Podcast!

Jaymee couldn't make it for the wrap-up, but we finished Dawnshard this week, and it was a fun Sanderlanche for this novella. So much happens at the end, but the resolution seems to have been pretty satisfying for the crew.

2/3 of the way through, and things are really heating up. The characters have seen through the tricks and are beginning to dig into the truth of Amia. Unfortunately that's exactly what The Gods Who Sleep Not did NOT want. So it's time for a giant monster attack. The podcast crew is really enjoying this one.

We reach the halfway point of this novella, and the team is actually really vibing with a Stormlight story that answers questions without making you wait a thousand pages. Seems like we're really feeling good as we ease back into Roshar after our break on Lumar. 

We are starting in on a new novella this week. It's time for Dawnshard. What will we learn about the mysterious objects for which the story is named? Well, not much this week - that's for sure. Still, some very interesting stuff as we seem to be setting up a story centered on Rysn and Lopen, an unlikely but highly entertaining pairing.

We've reached the end of another one, and what a trip this one was. Not to mention the wild Sanderlanche. In this episode we finally meet the Sorceress, find Charlie, and see Hoid's most dynamic ensemble yet. You really couldn't ask for much more. See how the crew feels about wrapping their first Secret Project on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Jaymee is back for our second-to-last episode of Tress. There are some pretty wild reveals in this one. Successful negotiations, presents for the crew, and sudden but inevitable betrayal! But it's the predigments that really go nuts this week. There are some big shots being taken, and some of them might even land, who knows? Me. I know. Probably most of you do as well, but I'm allowed a little drama!

Jaymee is out again, which is a darn shame because her prediction paid off! Things have begun to kick off for Tress and co. There's an attempted mutiny and then a foiling of said attempted mutiny and then there's ... what was it again? Oh, right, a huge freaking dragon. So, yeah, that's a thing. 

Jaymee missed this one, and that's a shame because like me she's usually a big fan of Cosmere Science! We're finally back in Tress of the Emerald Sea. We get more details about how spore technology works, and Tress begins to science the heck out of this stuff, coming up with some ingenious ideas of her own.
