Praying for Superpowers

A recap of all the Mistborn books including Secret history in preperation for The Lost Metal.

Listen as Bryce discusses the themes and repetitive character moments that take place within this section of Arcanum Unbounded.

Just a quick summary of the stuff happening these two short stories in Arcanum Unbounded, and their possible Cosmere connections!

If you have t read Elantris and don't want spoilers, don't listen. If you have read it or don't care, DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN.

Bryce is back with HOID's MASTER PLAN and the importance of acknowledging yourself. Your past self. Present Self. Future Self. If you haven't read “The Emperor's Soul” but you are curious what Hoid's plan is, listen to my previous episode so you know what is going on when I BLOW YOUR MINDS!

Wan-Shi-Lu is a master forger, thief, scholar, woodsman, and warrior - depending on how she wants to alter her past at any given moment. This episode covers the world of Sel, the story of The Emperor's Soul, and the greater ramifications of the magic of Soul forging.

Today we talk about the overarching theme of each series and world in the Cosmere - Mistborn, Elantris, Was & Wayne, Arcanum Unbounded, and Stormlight. Hear how all these books come together to form a central idea.

Today we discuss the purpose of letting who you were die, so that who you are can flourish. Dalinar, Navani, Kaladin, Shallan, Venli.

Our guest host Bryant let's you know his crazy redemption arc for Moash in book 5 of Stormlight.

A look at Kaladin's transformation from books 1-3 to who he becomes in Rhythm of War. The surgeon, soldier, slave, and high-marshal all fell under the weight of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and responsibility. Why does that matter in the real world?

I talk about the 7 reasons Sanderson has set himself up for success and domination in Hollywood.

While Peter Jordahl is on paternity leave, Trever Shirin takes the opportunity to have his sister and brother-in-law on the show to talk about couples who game together. What are the pros? The cons? How can gaming facilitate authentic and meaningful conversations with friends and significant others?

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!

This is an overview and review of the second trilogy of Mistborn, it covers the following books: Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self and The Bands of Mourning. As of this publication date the fourth book in Era 2 has not been announced. This is an amazing book series and we wanted to create a video that updates you on all of the important information you will need to start book four or just have a refresher on what has happened so far when you are watching other videos we do on this series. We hope you enjoy!

Did you know that there is a black Captain America in Marvel Canon? Probably not, as he isn't as well known as we think he ought to be. The character of Isaiah Bradley explores US History from the perspective of systemic racism. This is a bit of a heavier episode, and we think that it is important to talk about it, even just to start some conversations about how we look at our heroes. Join Trever Shirin, Peter Jordahl, and Shayne Stuart as they explore this incredible story from Marvel.

As mentioned at the start of this episode, we ran into a lot of issues in the production of this episode. We apologize for how sporadic things may seem, but we hope that you still enjoy this episode about why we think that there are some clothes that have gone out of style that should definitely be brought back! And we hope that you enjoy seeing a few glimpses at the summer trip that Peter and Trever went on with their families to the RenFest in Colorado.

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.

Jason Todd by Praying For Superpowers

We are BACK! Season Three of Praying for Superpowers starts now! 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.
