The Sanderlanche Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
