Chaos

We got a new Brandon Sanderson book this year already, and it is Lux! It is an Audible original set in the Reckoners universe, and it's time for us to talk about it. Overall we liked it, but we obviously get into the weeds, because it's Shardcast. Spoilers for the original Reckoners trilogy (Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity) here, but if you haven't listened to Lux yet, we start with spoiler-free reactions. Chapters are below! Hosting this episode is David (Windrunner), and we also have Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Danielle (FelCandy), and Marvin (Paleo)! How many ways can Evgeni say a different character when he meant Jax? Well, you'll find out!

Here's our second Word of Brandon episode from JordanCon 2021! Here lay answers to critical questions like, if a tree falls in the Forests of Hell and no one is around to hear it, do the shades still get angry? And watch many questions from the general Q&A where people try to talk their away around spoilers in hilarious ways, like about a certain Scadrian's bones. Our cast today is Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Marvin (Paleo), and Rosemary (Kaymyth)!

Oh boy everyone, we have some spice for you today! At JordanCon we had both a reading from the Lost Metal (Wax and Wayne 4), which was its prologue, as well as one of the craziest Words of Brandon: Taln didn't break! Holy crap. Oh, and Marvin's meme game is on point this episode. This week we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Jessie (Lady Lameness), Marvin (Paleo), and Rosemary (Kaymyth). Apologies for the late episode! The next one, which will be more WoBs, should be out Saturday, and we'll resume our once every two weeks schedule.

Today, Tor Books announced that Dawnshard's full release will happen on November 9th. The announcement has few details that we didn't already know, but I presume that will mean you can find Dawnshard in regular bookstores and that we'll be getting the audiobook release of the book as well, which I know many of you have been waiting for! So that's good news all around. Of course, uh, you can already buy Dawnshard right now, as Dragonsteel Entertainment released it with The Way of Kings leatherbound Kickstarter. You can literally order a physical copy of it right now, though Dragonsteel won't be reprinting it when its stock runs out. You can also buy the ebooks of Dawnshard on your favorite ebook platform, and you've been able to since November 2020. Presumably, there will be a point where the ebooks from Dragonsteel will go defunct, and Tor will be handling all the future publishing of Dawnshard in the US, and so maybe new ebook listings will come up. It's amusing that Tor's announcement doesn't mention the fact that Dawnshard has been out for a while, but hey, it's marketing, so that's fine. It doesn't look like Dawnshard has made it to Gollancz (Brandon's UK publisher) yet, but I imagine they will also release it sometime this fall.

We are extremely fortunate to have the amazing booktuber Merphy Napier on the show today! She just finished The Bands of Mourning for the first time, and so we thought hey, let's talk about Mistborn Era 2! What book is everyone's favorite, favorite characters, and more! The rest of us reread Era 2 and we have thoughts (and many more podcasts on Era 2 are coming). We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Jessie (Lady Lameness), Rosemary (Kaymyth), and of course, Merphy, and you can find her channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7FW6FYqPLeQIXMSulBfOLw/ She just did a Bands of Mourning review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZFfbD4KAGg) and she's been recently doing an awesome series on Inside Publishing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKebN_9ykjo) which you should go check out! 00:00 Introductions 00:04:45 What did you think of Era 2?

Today We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), David (Windrunner), Grace (thegatorgirl), Joshua (jofwu), and Jessie (Lady Lameness, who I still owe brownies to).
