Y'know how authors will sometimes write a first book in a series in a way that it could possibly stand alone if they decide not to continue? This isn't that.

We made it! This episode features lots of exclamation points! Our main characters actually meet! Kaladin does some cool fighting! Oaths are sworn! And there's still one more left after this!

(this is the real episode 77, there's no way I was going to permanently skip a number)

Listeners, I hope you realize how incredibly difficult it is to read a Sanderson book in one-week chunks of about 17,000 words each. It means that you reach the end of a set of chapters like this and then you have to just put the book down and walk away.

We've almost reached the end of this book - by which I mean, we have approximately one whole novella still remaining. Plenty of time!

Here's something new - one of our main characters in this fantasy book has fantastical powers. Maybe? We're not sure yet. He did glow, though, and that's cool I guess.

It's time to return to the world of the Alethi nobility, which means we have to deal with all these people. Wait hang on, Sadeas did something good? We'll, uh, have to get back to you on what this means.

While we finish off Part 3, present-day Kaladin actually may be doing the best out of all our character PoVs. That's probably a bad sign, right? Also, we have some Thoughts about spren.

Today - we fill in more and more of the gap in Kaladin's past, while in Kaladin's present, everyone refuses to talk about the whole "possible magic powers" thing. Also, Shallan's experiences go way off the rails. Not much time left in Part 3 - where are we going to land from here?

As our characters try to start processing the events of our past few chapters, we here on Always Another Podcast try to do the same. Lots of questions to be answered and relatively few answers for them - which is honestly pretty standard for us.

I was prepared to make a joke about the episode number for this week, but I'm going to take a page from Caleb, suddenly lean into the mic, and point out that Jasnah has killed four people
