#91. Firefight (Reckoners #2)

Craig, Nic, and Geoff discuss the second book in the Reckoners series in this Firefight podcast. Everyone loved the book and thought it had a much stronger antagonist than Steelheart. Nic tries to spoil Mistborn (Craig won't let him), and Geoff teases just a bit of Calamity, making us all pretty excited to get to it.

#90. Mitosis (Reckoners #1.5)

Bonus! Since Brandon Sanderson was kind enough to write a tiny little short story before releasing Firefight a couple years ago, we decided to do a smaller episode of our own. In our Mitosis podcast, we deal with some of the good and bad, and some of the popular reactions to the story.

#89. Steelheart (Reckoners #1)

Ryan, Craig, Geoff, and Tommy discuss Steelheart, the first book in Brandon Sanderson's unconventional superhero trilogy. The novel is written for teenagers, so it's no surprise that the four guys who are getting too old for that sort of thing like it a lot.

Congrats to the winner of the signed copy of The Bands of Mourning: Ryan A., from New Brighton, MN!

#88. Mistborn: Secret History

Bonus episode for a bonus book! Brandon dropped Secret History on the world without any warning, so we didn't include it officially in our 2016 reading challenge. But it had to go in, of course. So Craig, Ryan, and Nic chat for a few minutes about seeing some of the old Mistborn cast again, plus implications for the Cosmere at large.

#87. The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn)

#85. Shadows of Self (Mistborn)

It's a packed house, as Craig, Ryan, Kenn, Nic, and newcomer Geoff discuss Shadows of Self. The streak continues, as we have yet to read a Sanderson book we didn't enjoy. Mistborn fans who haven't read Sanderson's other work will be excited after this to dive deep into his Cosmere. Listener notes from two listeners, and Kenn says "duality of perspective," blowing Craig's mind with his excellent new vocabulary.Join the 2016 Brandon Sanderson Reading Challenge.
