A Grain of Sanderson
From the fantasy epics of the Cosmere to the defunct mobile game companion books, Graham, Jack, and Taylor attempt to read every published work by Brandon Sanderson, in publication order. We hope to gain a better understanding of who he is as an author, how his writing changes over time, and his broader effect on the fantasy genre. Starting with Elantris and finishing half a decade from now, please join us as we travel out of the wardrobe, and onto the wagon train.
New episodes the second Tuesday of the month.
A Grain of Sanderson
The Words of Radiance - Episode 22
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many Apologies for this being so long overdue. I promise the next few will come out sooner. Due to a file corruption issue, The Episodes for Shadows for Silence Through the Forests of Hell and Mitosis have been lost. I'm going to try restore as much as is salvageable from that episode before the end of the year, but at least one full audiotrack will be missing.
Join us next time for Dreamer, Sixth of the Dusk (featuring a special guest), and Way of Kings Prime!
