    Wax, Steris, & Wayne || A Mistborn Diagnosis || Cosmere Mental Health

    Waxillium Ladrian and Wayne (Who has a last name he could use if he wanted to, but last names are in flux in the second era of Mistborn because they were not something the Skaa used in the first era.) These are the two main characters of the Mistborn Era 2 series by Brandon Sanderson, and we LOVE them! They are an amazing duo and have some incredible adventures throughout the books! Join us as we explore these characters and hopefully encourage you too!

    Defiance - A Conversation About the Book Skyward

    Skyward is an amazing book by Brandon Sanderson that has an amazing take on the classic trope "a boy and his dragon." We also love how it feels like a classic sci-fi novel! Join us this week as we talk a little about Skyward and a lot about the theme of Defiance that comes up in this book and a lot of young adult novels.

    Szeth-son-son-Vallano || A Stormlight Diagnosis || Cosmere Mental Health

    WARNING: Serious spoilers for the Stormlight Archive and the Cosmere in this video as we discuss Szeth, Son-Son Velano, one of our favorite characters of Brandon Sanderson's making. Szeth is the Assassin in White, and one of the most consistent characters in the story, which compared to a story that constantly flips itself over makes us hate him one moment, and root for him another. Join us as we discuss this incredible character and where we think he will lead us in the books to come.

    Shallan || A Stormlight Diagnosis || Cosmere Mental Health

    Shallan Davar, of the Knights Radiant, in the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, is a redheaded, keen-minded, and determined woman. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences, we believe that Shallan was exposed to 5-6 trauma categories, which is pretty severe. She struggles with the trauma of her youth, and we explore a little more about what that means for her, and how we can use her to encourage ourselves and our friends. Also, beware of spoilers for the Stormlight Archive throughout this episode.  VIDEO: https://youtu.be/n-q37F3qYzA Thank you to our sponsor, Petrie’s Family Games, find them at http://www.petriesgames.com/   Music: The Pirate and The Dancer by Rolemusic
