And we are currently deep-diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic, Mistborn. But here's the catch. Steven here has not read Mistborn before.

That's right, Hay-Hay. So each week, you'll get my unfiltered, raw reactions to every single chapter.

And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers, and Steven will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong.
