Welcome to Threnody! The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies has taken a step away from Brandon's epically long works and is looking at one of his shorter pieces—and they're not alone! This episode, Amy, Jordan, and Bill are joined by Charlie N. Holmberg, a prolific author and one of Brandon's former students! So come along with all four as they discuss Threnody, shades, and one of Brandon Sanderson's creepiest settings in the Cosmere in "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell." ___ This episode's show notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NXx8Pp2jTJXsVgvtpt8_U-og0YVBbbggYL4r1915FUc/edit?usp=sharing ___ You can support The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/cosmerestudies SICS patrons make the show possible and gain access to additional content and early access to bonus episodes. ___ You can email us your questions about the Cosmere at cosmerestudies@gmail.com.
