When I was planning out the episodes for this series, this episode is the one that I was looking forward to more than any other. We're almost at the end, and it's very difficult to stop here.

Here we go - the chapter count is picking up, the plotlines are starting to collapse together, the predictions are coming true and/or false, and we're locked in for one hell of a Sanderlanche to finish this series. Today, we start into Part 5 of Hero of Ages - join us as we experience this wild ride.

We have a momentous occasion on Always Another Podcast today - we unanimously agree that Spook does something undeniably badass. All it took was 2 4/5 books and a near-catastrophic situation. Join us as we wrap up Part 4 of Hero of Ages!

Fun Always-Another-Podcast fact: this episode was edited on a train. Bet you don't get that in your other Brandon-Sanderson-shared-reading-experience podcasts, do you? Today, we're digging into Part 4 of Hero of Ages, featuring: Engineer Sazed, Spook failing to interact with women, and Vin, by herself, in a pitch-black room.

And that does it for Part 3 of Book 3 in our Mistborn adventures, and what a place to leave off at. Our heroes (depending on which particular set of heroes you refer to) are either in a pretty cool and good place, or a very bad place. Our hosts, meanwhile, are in a very exciting place - just 5 episodes to go to finish off this series, and what a ride it's going to be.

Today was a day for ranking and comparing. Where do characters fit on a scale of "adroit" to "maladroit"? Could Sam defeat a barrel? The important questions.

Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at how Always Another Podcast gets put together: it's exactly matching how you listen to it. You hear one episode a week? We record one episode a week, right before you hear it. There's no temporal shenanigans or other trickery - that's always how it works. Right? Yeah? Of course.

Today, we get our single largest episode by chapter count. There's a whole lot of book in this book, and here are a few of the things we discussed today: "those regulatory bois", "I don't know where we go from here", and "Ouai"

Onwards to Part 2! Brandon is picking up the pace on the chapter count, and that means there's plenty for us to dig into. Plus, Spook is here! He's doing some fancy spying work (cool and new) and being weird about a girl (neither cool nor new).

We've finished the first part of our final book in the trilogy! We're properly into the swing of things now - some good doses of Kandra lore, predictions aplenty, and the promise of Spook showing up soon (hey, Beth and I like Spook at least).
