Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! I'm kind of blown away at the direction this book is going, because there's a difference between "I'm not sure what to expect" and "There was no possible way to be prepared for the weirdness". And you know what? I'm into it. In these first chapters, we meet Alex, who is attending Yale and can see ghosts. But she's not a Yale student who can also...

Thank you so much to Asher for commissioning this remainder of this series! It's the final chapters, and there is so much happening that despite assuring Asher that I would get to their questions about favorite moments in the book, etc, I wrapped without ever mentioning them again. Sorry, Asher! I will try to pick things up in the Discord, meet you there? Thanks again so much to you all for listen...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are pretty intense as Calder rushes to try some new things with the Emperor's powers, all in the midst of a pretty scary attack by Urg'naut that tears a chunk of the city into complete nothingness. Meanwhile, there's a whole thing with Bliss and I love this so much. Thanks a ton for listening, and I will see you soon with the final...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Calder comes back to life, and it takes a scene between him and Kelerac to make me realize that I just don't really believe Calder's deep desire to become Emperor. I believe he wants more for the world, I believe he feels passionately in justice, but...ruling? Nah. I'm just not buying that. Meanwhile, Jyrene is...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! And this whole series! These final chapters are the ones in which Lindon and Mercy face off with Malice, and finally have a chance to tell Mercy the truth. Meanwhile, in the heavens the Mad King is planning his attack on Ozriel and Suriel, and Makiel is looking on with that kind of self-satisfied regret that I cannot stand because it's him...

Thank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Malice seems to have convinced Mercy that Lindon has gotten so ambitious that he's willing to risk people's lives (basically accusing him of exactly the crime SHE'S guilty of), and Lindon & Yerin go off to rob a bunch of monarchs. This is all so so good. Thanks a ton to you all for listening, and I will...

Thank you to Asher for commissioning this episode! In these chapters we finally get to see Shera's attempt at assassinating Calder, and also find out a little more of Foster's history, which is truly harrowing and extremely difficult to read. There's also a delightful exchange between Andel and a shopkeeper, and I'm very interested in seeing what Andel goes on to do with this object. Thanks to you...

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters in which Lindon levels up to a point that I didn't even think was possible. He's basically a dreadgod himself now? Which I should have kind of seen coming based on the title of this book and I didn't? Sometimes I can be a real ding dong. Also, the Mad King is up to some shit and I'm not sure what to think but it's all soundin...

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'...
