Thanks ever so much to Tristen for commissioning this episode! IT'S TIME FOR BATTLE! These chapters leave a little less than 40 pages in the remainder of the book and I'm curious what you all think about the next ep? Should I just do that and recap my thoughts on this book, or begin delving into the next one? Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much to Julia for commissioning this episode! I'm super behind on posting so I'm going to be making each of these brief. But this is the episode in which Eve breaks into Villanelle's apartment and it's AMAZING. Thanks for listening!

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm so interested in what's going to happen between Lorkin and Tyvara, and I don't even mean romantically. I just kind of like the dynamic between them, with each of them knowing magic that the other doesn't, and not sure just how much to trust one another, etc. Also, Sonea reacts in much the way that I expected when she hears that Lo...

Thank you so much to Devin for commissioning this episode! I'm really digging this entire series, and I keep being surprised at how fresh and different each book feels despite the fact that we are dealing with the same characters every time. Different settings, different types of magic, different people getting involved, all make the books feel unexpected and new. In these chapters, we get a reall...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we get to see a bit of the Rogue magician (who appears to be a woman, btw) but Cery's still not totally sure that she's the Thief Hunter as well. I actually quite enjoy being in Cery's head and getting to see the way his mind works, and i've been pleasantly surprised by Gol's headwork, too. Meanwhile, Lorkin is flee...

Thank you very much to Agnes for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad to finally be getting into the next season of Veronica Mars, although there's going to be a long gap in this season's coverage so just be ready for that! This season starts by picking up the campus rape story from Season 2, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well thought out that was. I like the setup being kind of taken car...

Thank. you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! These chapters have a really surprising twist in them, and I have to confess that not only did I not see it coming that Lorkin was in this kind of danger, but also I never thought of using sex as the means of murder. Creative! Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad that this book is going to start getting more consistent coverage this month, because I'm really curious what's going to happen in this book considering that Lorkin has discovered the notes about the Storestone. Does this mean they will figure out how to make it again? Or will this just lead to the understanding of how the...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! Wow so there goes a twist I did NOT see coming. I mean, I just assumed that Carolyn was kind of bad at her job, and maybe letting her pussy get in the way of her good sense...but it seems like shit's a lot more sinister than that. Meanwhile, there's a fairly emotional scene between Villanelle and Constantine, and while it can be hard for...

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode! So this book is striking into some new territory, namely the connection between our main peeps and adult wizards. I'm pretty into it, actually, despite the fact that not all that much has happened yet. I just like knowing that there are others out there, who know what's going on (kind of) and are on the case. Maybe that's my often-misplac...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! So this episode is really touching a nerve for me this week, because I have just about had it with rich people being fucking horrible. As much as I want to just be cool and happy for Pacifica at the end, I'm still not convinced. Also, I love Grenda. Thanks for listening! See you soon with a live-watch!

Thank you so much to Yama for commissioning this episode! So DAMN Y'ALL! Shit really went fucking LEFT! I feel like this is probably the most major death we've seen on-page, right? Like, we see Sabriel's dad die, but he just goes into Death and it's not nearly this traumatic, if I remember correctly. Then of course there's the fakeout of Sabriel herself and Touchstone, which doesn't count, and...w...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! So this book is really starting off with a bang. There's something hiding in the caverns underneath the Abbey, in the very Rock Of Faith, and I'm wondering if it's the same something that seems to inhabit the Black Ice. I can't tell if I'm connecting dots I shouldn't be, or if there's something there. Meanwhile, there's a whole thing wi...

Thank you so much to Khai for commissioning this episode! Holy shit, so much happened in this one, y'all! I don't even know where to start except to say that Villanelle is weirdly naive for someone who murders for a living. The fact that she didn't see this shit coming is hugely irritating but it also tells us a LOT about who she is. Then there's the whole thing with Carolyn. What the fuck is her...

Thank you very much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! So this is probably the hardest I have ever laughed while watching Gravity Falls. This episode is genius and I'm in love with it. This episode, Mabel decides that she's going to mess with Robbie and Tambry's love lives, and when it results in the breakdown of the whole friendsgroup, she wants to undo it. But it might be too late! And G...

Thanks so much to Yama for commissioning this episode! I'm so very into this book, and this chapter in particular was a huge surprise that's got me thinking about some possibilities now. I'm absolutely dying to know wtf is going to happen with Clariel because she's on the knife's edge right now, and has found out she's got abilities that she didn't know about...and maybe that even those who DID kn...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! I'm here to tell you that this episode made me too emotional and I'm mad about it. But, aw Soos. You sweet sweet boy. Also, Mabel and Dipper are good eggs.

Thank you so much to Tony for commissioning this extra-long, extra-intense episode! It's a doozy, so strap on in. I'm leaving it at that. Thank you all so much for taking me on this journey.

Thank you so much to Tristen for commissioning this episode! I'm really impressed with this book so far. I've liked all the other ones a lot, and I get the feeling that if we went back and listened. to all the other beginning episodes I probably said the same thing, but I MEAN IT! Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode! This book is getting into some time-travel stuff and I'm super interested because I'm covering so many different properties that deal with time travel, and all in totally different ways. I'm really interested in seeing what it's like in this book! Also I'm weirdly proud of Nita for making friends in Bray in these chapters. I confess that I was a li...

Thank you again to D'Nique so much for commissioning this entire book. I really appreciate you coming back so that I could finish it, and I wonder what a third book would have been like. I went into this final section with no real idea how the book could end and still be satisfying. And the truth is, there is plenty about it that isn't satisfying because it's not meant to be. I'm really kind of st...

Thank you so much to Yama for commissioning this episode! So I think I've already said how into this book I am, but I want to reiterate how much I love Garth Nix's worldbuilding and how much I wish we'd gotten more of this before getting into the epic struggles of some of the prior books. I still loved those books, so it's not like they suffered terribly, but I think they could have made so much m...

Thank you so much to Martin for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited about this weird fucking book, y'all. I never expected for it to open the way it did, and for Nona to now be...infested? Is that the right word? She's not quite possessed, because she still mostly has control. But lordy it's creepy and kind of hilarious? I'm a really big fan also of getting to see through Apple's perspectiv...

Thank you so much to D'Nique for commissioning this episode! Y'all, this book is over in one more episode, and I'm absolutely floored that it's coming to an end because I have no idea where we go from here. Marc is the worst, I hate him and the way he reacts to everything simply because he doesn't want to lose something. Like, yes he's suffered a horrific trauma, but guess what, SO HAS EVERYONE. G...

Thank you so much to D'Nique for commissioning this episode! I am so relieved, y'all. I mean, I can't tell you how fucked up I was by that last section, and while this one was arguably worse in terms of overall disturbing content, I at least got the relief of an escape at the end of it all. I just couldn't imagine putting down this book again with the knowledge that the next time I picked it up, e...
