300 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 44 to 48
No Jaymee this week, and a big old chunk of chapters as we start Part 3. We're establishing where everyone stands as we move into this part, and to top it all off, the flashbacks have finally started for book 4! We reach several years into the past this time to see what life was like for both Eshonai and Venli before the humans came into the picture! It's a lot to take in on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! Music by Miracle of Sound: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSfoxYTlCPFfglckBLrjpsA

299 - Rhythm of War - Chapter 43 to Interlude 6
We're wrapping up Part 2, and it's not a shiny happy sort of part ending. Then we get several different perspectives for interludes. The crew isn't exactly thrilled about the Vyre part, but Lift is getting some love.

298 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 40 to 42
As we approach the end of part 2, things are taking a turn for Navani, Kaladin, and everyone still in Urithiru. We also meet one of the coolest side characters we've yet encountered, only to lose him immediately. So there's that. The situation is looking grim, but what will that mean for our protagonists?

297 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 37 to 39
Joe missed this one, and it's a shame because the Invasion has begun. Kaladin, Navani and co are separated and caught completely off-guard. Can they repel the invaders before it's too late?

296 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 34 to 36
Well, some of those predigments came to pass quite soon as it turned out. Beyond that we've got multiple of the crew sticking to their long-term predigments, and it's so fun to see! As Dac says at the beginning, this section is all Good Guy Adolin, and it's hard not to love him on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

295 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 29 to 33
First things first - Dac's sound is all messed up this episode. I know. Believe me I am painfully aware as this episode took about 3x longer than usual to edit as I had to repair as much of it as I could. It's still not good, but it's a lot better than it was when I started and thought about just cutting his track entirely. And now that you've all had to share my pain - these chapters continue building up to the main plot of this book. I think some of the crew is getting a little weary of the buildup, maybe because the book started at such a breakneck pace. Still, lots of cool pieces of information this time, and the theories, yall. The theories are getting out of control. It was worth having Dac's track just for some of the stuff he comes up with this time. So much fun. Can't wait to see what they think as we get to the real reveals of the book.

294 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 26 to 28
Joe is out this week, but these chapters drop a lot of interesting bits of information. Shallan engages in some espionage, Navani has a moment with her daughter and then a different kind of moment with her mysterious correspondent, and our crew continues to get more lost about what the heck is going on in Shallan's head. Good times. Music by Miracle of Sound

293 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 22 to 25
We've got some calm chapters this week as part 2 begins in earnest, but they're also packed to the brim with juicy details and some confusing revelations as to the nature of Shallan's relationship with her alters. There's laughter, new Shards, and head scratching galore on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! Music by Miracle of Sound: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

292 - Rhythm of War - Interlude 1 to Chapter 21
We get our first interludes of the book, and it's interesting that this is the first time we've already known everyone who gets an interlude. Does that mean Brandon has run out of new characters for us to meet? Yeah, right. Starting part 2 is bringing out some interesting plot lines, though. The crew is especially excited to return to Shadesmar with Adolin and Shallan. Music by Miracle of Sound: https://miracleofsound.bandcamp.com/ The episode mentions a couple of funny movie scripts that someone emailed us links to. After reading them, the first one The Way of Kings I'm going to hold off on letting the crew read because there's a couple of names in there we haven't met yet. No big spoilers though. So I'll include the links here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cremposting/comments/ubseae/plot_of_the_stormlight_movie/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cremposting/comments/17s5bx2/a_sneak_peek_at_the_mistborn_movie_plot/

291 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 17 to 19
Jaymee is out this week, but we've got some fun going on as we reach the end of part 1. Make sure you listen through the end so you don't miss one of our best Moash emails ever!

290 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 15 and 16
Some serious Cosmere stuff coming out this time. The only in-universe audience for it is Kaladin, though, who doesn't understand half of it and doesn't care much about the rest. To be fair, he's got his own stuff going on. And a mysterious sphere that harkens all the way back to the beginning of The Way of Kings. This should be interesting.

289 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 13 and 14
Things are coming to a head on the Ghostbloods front as Mraize gives Shallan (and her brain roommates) a final mission. In another part of Roshar a plan is set in motion by a newly-awakened Fused to cripple the coalition in a single stroke.

288 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 10 to 12
Joe missed this one, but we're talking about the wind down from the min-Sanderlanche that starts this book off. What seemed like a totally successful pair of missions brings a variety of consequences in the aftermath, and not just for our friends in Urithiru.

287 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 7 to 9
Kaladin and Moash come face-to-face again for the first time in a long while. It's bad. Beyond that, there's some good stuff in here. Kaladin takes down the new Fused because he's kind of a windbag. There's even a bit of Lift, which is generally fun. Still ... Moash.

June 22 · 1 hr 31 min
286 - Rhythm of War - Chapters 3 to 6
The beginning of this book continues to move at a breakneck pace as Kaladin gets two separate epic battle scenes, and Navani's new creation descends from the heavens. At the same time concerns are raised regarding Shallan's ongoing stability and the sudden, unwelcome reappearance of a former Bridge 4 comrade.

285 - Rhythm of War - Prologue to Chapter 2
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. Music is Whatever Comes Our Way by Miracle of Sound: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

284 - Stormlight Jeopardy
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!

283 - Dawnshard - Chapter 17 to Epilogue
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. Music by: https://www.miracleofsound.net/

282 - Dawnshard - Chapters 10 to 16
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.

281 - Dawnshard - Chapters 6 to 9
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.
