Fireside Chapters

Tonight we are going over the Epilogue, A Silence of Three Parts. It has been a hell of a fun time going over this book chapter by chapter with Matt, and documenting it in this way. I got together a list of questions for us to both answer about various things in the book, and we go over our theories for what is to come. I would love for our listeners to comment with their answers and theories. The...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 92: The Music That Plays. The last real chapter of the book! Is it bad that I'm more excited to do the last episode more than anything else? Well either way we need to get through this one first, and we get a few massive pieces of information, but it is up to you whether or not to believe them fully. Bast threatens Chronicler, but honestly who hasn't? We a...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 89: A Pleasant Afternoon, Chapter 90: Half Built Houses, and Chapter 91: Worthy of Pursuit. I always am left wishing we had more to read. Chapter 89 is like 10 or so chapters getting condensed into 1 very short one. Chapter 90 has to be one of my favorite chapters for the interactions with Auri. Easily one of my favorite characters. Then we get a little of an expl...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 88: Interlude - Looking If you thought the action was done for the rest of the book, you were mistaken. My god does a lot happen in this chapter, and probably right as most people were starting to wind down. We get Cobb telling some half baked stories, which would probably taste like lies and those cookies that have virtually no flavor and turn to dust in your mou...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 85: Hands Against Me, Chapter 86: The Fire Itself, and Chapter 87: Boldness We are getting so close to the end of the book, and it feels like there is still so much to discover and talk about. Kvothe gets expelled, we get more wonderful interactions with Elodin, and Kvothe asks to see Auri's Underthing. That does sound rather inappropriate I guess, maybe it so...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 83: Return, and Chapter 84: A Sudden Storm 83 is a very short chapter, nothing of any real note, but 84 is where the meat and potatoes are (mmm potatoes). Kvothe shows Ambrose the intersection of finding out and f-ing around. Elodin saves the day, and we get another terribly heart breaking scene, all within about 10 minutes of in book time. I really hope the theor...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 82: Ash and Elm We are starting to approach the end of the book, and yet it claims to just be getting started. The mixed signals are real. Kvothe continues to name things despite a church falling on his head. I make a theory about falling off buildings being a requirement for naming, and I have more bad things to say about Denna. This chapter got me a little more...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 80: Touching Iron and Chapter 81: Pride. I wanted to start off by apologizing for uploading late, this past weekend was a whirlwind. These are some great chapters though. If I could choose for any one chapter to get animated it is Touching Iron, for sure. Kvothe "The non-religious" goes to slay a dragon and simultaneously make everyone think he is one of...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 78: Poison, and Chapter 79: Sweet Talk I am writing this the day before the upload and I honestly don't remember much about this recording. I am sure some stuff happens. Giant high cow lizard and extremely stupid savant of a sympathist, and a girl that has had a little too much maple candy, what could go wrong. Also is this the episode with the terminal veloci...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 77: Bluffs. This was a shorter chapter, and what I like to call a feel good chapter. Sure things are looking kind of bleak for Kvothe and Lady Denna, but aren't their interactions just great? Plus, her ability to ask the questions Kvothe is too smart to think are always a delight. What would happen if you found a loden stone made of brass? Pull up a log and jo...

Tonight we are going over chapter 74: Waystone, 75: Interlude - Obedience, and 76: The Mating Habits of the Common Draccus. I'm not sure this chapter can hold a candle to Loo Pegs Pegs Pegs, but a lot does happen. We get more evidence that the Tinkers in Temerant are omniscient Gods that are to be feared, we get an extremely short chapter that I honestly can't gleam much from, and we get s...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 73: Pegs Loo Pegs Pegs Pegs! The rest of the book is definitely fighting for my favorite chapter. How could I have forgotten about the glory that is the Pegs Chapter. This is definitely a love it or hate it chapter, and I definitely try to do the accent and we play a little bit of the audiobook, so if you want to skip this one, I understand. If you are ready to de...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 72: Borrorill I know I saw last week's was my favorite chapter but now I'm not sure. I think the rest of the book will be fighting for that spot. Kvothe "names" Denna's Patron, and we discuss further about what that could mean. We discuss a bunch of conspiracy theories for the book, and Matt teaches us about cat's propensity for being sma...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 71: Strange Attraction. There's a lot of stuff going on in this chapter, and it might be one of my favorite. Kvothe threatens to eat someone, we get out first real interaction with a tinkerer, Matt can't read without thinking about the Kardashians, and we get a reunion with a difficult person to find. Spoiler its Denna. Pull up a log and join us around the...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 70: Signs. While going over my notes to write this, I realized this is kind of a sad chapter. Kvothe is the most desperate he might have ever been so far in this chapter. Also I have no idea how Matt still dislikes Devi after this chapter, its honestly sad. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

Tonight we are going over Chapter 69: Nice... I mean Wind or Women's Fancy. We get a lovely interaction with Deoch, pining over women and lost loves. Kvothe gets lost chasing the wind, and I have a lot to say about it. We also get a few more fun interactions with Elodin. Oh! and Kovthe nearly gets murdered. There's a lot to discuss in this episode. Pull up a log and join us around the fire...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 66: Through the Fire In this chapter we are going to see the repercussions of Kvothe's escapades through the "Cascading huge Goddamn fire" and its repercussions. Kvothe gets more time with Fela and Mola, and we get to see the ever lovely Ari again. Honestly any chapter with Ari is a great chapter. We also go through some hair brained theories I thoug...

Tonight we are going over chapter 66: Volatile and chapter 67: A Matter of Hands. There's a lot to get into with these chapters. We finally get to see the "Cascading huge Goddamn fire." as Manet so eloquently put it. We get our first word of Denna's potential Patron, and we talk about some of the communities theories regarding him, and we finally learn the true meaning of Kote. P...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 65: Spark There's quite a bit of fuel for the fire that only a tin foil hat can truly harness. Strawberry wine is mentioned, Lorren never banning people from the archives is explored albeit briefly, and Kvothe might have won Denna all the way back when he first left for The University. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

Tonight we are going over Chapter 63: Walking and Talking and Chapter 64: Nine in the Fire. As I was going through my notes I was just reminded of how much I love these slower chapters, where we really get to see everything be calm and enjoyable. Oh how we are going to miss these times. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

Tonight we are going over Chapter 62: Leaves We get introduced to "Cascading huge god damn fire" as Manet put it. Honestly not a huge chapter, but there are still a few gems within it. Especially because we get to see Denna again. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

Tonight we are going over Chapter 61: Jackass, Jackass Do you have a pizzle bound to fizzle? Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down. Just kidding, but there is a lot to go over here. We might have found out first or second member of the Edema Ruh post the tragedy, we get another great scene on the horns, and we see how much of an jerk Loren really is. Pull up a log and j...

Tonight we are going over Chapter 60: Fortune. There was a whole bunch of set up in this chapter. We learn more about how admissions works. Further the Kvothe vs Ambrose feud, and Kilvin drops some wisdom on Kvothe, shame he will ignore all the good advice he ever gets. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

Tonight we are going over Chapter 57: Interlude - The Parts that Form Us, Chapter 58: Names for Beginning, and Chapter 59: All This Knowing. We learn about Denna from someone that isn't Kvothe, even if his priorities are completely out of wack. Kvothe gains a new rival, albeit one side-idly. And we get what I would consider to be the close of Act 2. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as...

**I would like to start with an apology for the late upload. Thank you for your understanding** Tonight we are going over Chapter 55: Flame and Thunder, and Chapter 56: Patrons, Maids, and Metheglin. We learn the beginning of what Ambrose will do to mess with Kvothe, everyone's reactions to the tale of Aeluine and Savien, and as Matt would say "Bae has arrived." Pull up a log around...
