Our tenth episode is finally here! Gideon and Harrow are taking on the avulsion trial in Chapter 20 and we certainly feel like we've been through it too after all the technical delays we had to get through to put this out. We revisit Goodreads to see if we can tell the difference between some wild one- and five-star reviews of Gideon the Ninth, and then it's time to discuss CYTHEREA—her backstory, everything she did in Canaan House, and what exactly she was hoping to achieve. And of course, we'll leave you with a bone of the week (and a whole new category to consider!).

(This episode was recorded on Sunday, May 29, 2022.)

* SPOILER ALERT * We reference events from GTN and HTN in this podcast, as it’s intended for readers who’ve already finished both books.
