In this chapter, we finish The Subtle Knife (kinda - Patreon episode on the appendix & lantern slides to follow)! Will and Lyra continue up the mountain, urged on by the alethiometer. Will’s hand has still not healed and in this final chapter he is at the brink physically and emotionally.

Join us as we chat ancient Greek weapons, ‘love’ the whole hell-hath-no-fury story line and get skeptical about Boreal’s susceptibility to obvious manipulation.
