Thank you to Asher for commissioning these chapters! So we're going back in time a lot here to see exactly what went down in the effort to recover the Emperor's crown, and turns out that Jyrene is even more lethal than I really thought, even though I should have known. I also am extremely interested to find out that it was Calder's idea to switch out with his body double without telling anyone, an...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! This chapter is the one where someone very important returns.

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! So these are the fateful chapters in which Calder has a sit-down with Ozriel and finds out the purpose of his planet and the ways in which the Great Elders can try to escape. It's a helluva lot of information to absorb, and I'm really feeling sympathy for the fact that Calder's messages never make it where they were meant to go. Thanks so much to...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which the guilds go to war with the Regents and wind up battling it out so bad that a champion dies, Esther Six is horrifically wounded, and Teach is turned into a dried-out husk. Shockingly, Teach lives, and she's starting to take on a totally different look as she heals, which I'm super curious about. Also, Calder...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! This is the set of chapters where the Silent King really goes all-out, and manages to take down some sages, including the Sage of Red Faith. But most importantly, he takes out Jai Long, and I'm super devastated. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode.

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which the Silent King makes his move by managing to switch places with the Wandering Titan, which is just super unfair and really shouldn't be allowed. Can I get a ref in here, please? Meanwhile, Yerin is out here fighting Redmoon and seems to have managed to take hiim down with Red Faith, but of course the fucking...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we get the meeting of the Guild Heads from Calder's perspective, and it actually looks pretty similar to Shera's take on the whole thing, which surprised me. Also, we find out that Calder was specifically assigned to go find the missing crown of the Emperor, and I'm deeply suspicious of all of this. Thanks for liste...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! Lots of folks seemed pretty pumped for these chapters, which are the ones in which Lindon ACCIDENTALLY breaks his oath and tells Charity about the connection between the monarchs and the dreadgods. Charity is PISSED, and she's really not sure what she's going to do because ascending looks pretty good but also feels lowkey irrespoinsible RN. Meanwhi...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! We're starting the final book and it's time to see how Calder gets where we see him at the end of Shera's book, and I'm so excited! First we watch him trying to exert his authority with multiple people and he's so unsuccessful it's embarrassing. Then we find out that Petal knew some of what Jyrine was up to way back when, and I'm so sad that she w...

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Lindon manages to convince Mercy to try his plan to accelerate her advancement, but I'm not sure that I trust that her trust in HIM will keep her from continuing to suspect him based on the hinting from her mother. Also, Zeil and Orthos are in the middle of cleaning out this ruined castle when they come across a room fu...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! The ending of this book is so jam-packed that I think I failed to do it justice, but I really tried! There's just so much to talk about, and so many small moments that tied some things together, or made me ask questions that I can't wait to be answered in the next book. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new ep...

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we get to see what it's like dealing with the Blood Sage, and find out more about his conflict with his blood copy. Meanwhile, Lindon goes to Mercy and makes a proposal, but her perception has been poisoned by Malice's manipulations. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you all soon with...

Thank you so much to Asher for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we've got a massive cameo from our very own Ozmanthus. Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon has to send his friends into their respective areas that will benefit their advancement. He sends Yerin off with the Sage Of Red Faith, and Zeil and Orthos go off into that bizarre frozen landscape to find remnants and power that was left behind by legends. Meanwhile, Mercy is evacuating from the attack of the...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Shera has to deal with the uncertainty of Calder's body being missing, and I find out that Meia seems to have had nothing to do with the Imperialists knowing Shera's plan. In flashbacks, we find out what the reaction of the Regents is to being woken up in the manner they were...and Yala is in the hotseat. Thanks for...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon makes constructs to protect his friends from the Silent King, and he has to hide his shame when Zeil puts him on the spot for the third construct box. However, he's got some plans for how everyone can advance, but it's very risky and they each have to individually agree. Meanwhile, Reigan Shen shows up to help...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Shera puts her plan to take Calder down into action, and attacks him in the building behind where he's allegedly giving a speech. Turns out that was a body double (or at least that's what Shera thinks) and she's very confident that she's got the real Calder when she kills him. Turns out she's wrong, but she's CERTAIN she'...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this entire series! It's wild to wrap up this series after what feels like such a long run, but I found this finale to be pretty satisfying as far as endings go, even though not all the loose ends were entirely tired up. I'm really interested in whether this author goes on to write anything more in this universe. Thank you all so much for listening, and I hope to...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! I only got to read one single solitary chapter this week because it was such a long one, but it was definitely a doozy. This is the chapter where we go into the POV of a young woman who works in metal shop in a town that has been taken over by the Silent King, and it's very fucking creepy. Dross shows up to save her, which is somehow not le...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! Lucan actually sits down with Yala and talks this all out, and she's actually able to guide him over to seeing his side of things! Which does not last, because Shera cuts to the quick of things and asks who he trusts more: Yala or the Emperor? So now I'm wondering if they're actually the ones who set the Regents free, or if that's just a red herri...

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! It's almost over, y'all. We get a really surprising turn of events here, and I'm shocked to be feeling sort of sad for the Dwarf in the flask, because he seems genuinely baffled at how he fucked up and I don't feel like Truth's explanation is super helpful. Also, Al gets his body back! WAHOO!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! I'm FINALLY here with the next book in the Cradle series, and I could not be more excited. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which we discover that Kellerac has been working with the Consultants for literally thousands of years, and I'm now highly suspicious of Yala. I assume she's fully working with Elders at this point. Although, what if she's not? What if she's just an unwitting pawn, like Calder? Nah. Thanks for listening, and I wil...

Thanks so much to Asher for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Shera gets an elixir from the head of the Alchemist's guild that can turn her into a champion for a few hours, albeit with some side-effects. Also, we get a flashback to a scene in which Shera tries to get a job done without casualties, and a gang comes to ruin it. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon...
