In this episode, we tackle Section V of Shadow of Night and talk about Diana's character growth, Cait's psyche, antagonists, and sanism. If you have thoughts, questions, queries, or suggestions for our Shadow of Night wrap episodes, now is the time!

In Episode 34, Cait and Jen hurtle towards the end of Shadow of Night while discovering the True Secret of Secrets and escaping from the court of Rudolf in Prague. There's talk of denouements, epigraphs, flash forwards, and ALL THAT PLOT as they close Section IV and get ready for Section V.

In this episode, we talk about Chapters 29-30 of Shadow of Night while meeting new characters (Rabbi Loew! Lobero!) and er, tolerating our favorites (CHRIST, MATTHEW). There's talk about intimacy, literary craft, and a healthy dose of pop culture C&C bingo to get us through Prague. Enjoy!

This week, we dive straight into Section IV of Shadow of Night and discuss the wonders of Prague, Rudolf's naughty closet, hose before bros, and why everyone carries a torch for Gallowglass. We hope you have as much fun as we did -- stay tuned for the outtake after the end music. We might have gone a bit off the rails while recording -- it happens.

It's time to leave London and say goodbye to the highs and lows of Section III of Shadow of Night. In this episode, Cait and Jen discuss lost plots, midpoints, toxic masculinity, antagonists, and more. Enjoy!

TRIGGER WARNING: Some content in this episode may not be suitable for all listeners. In this episode, we discuss Diana's pregnancy and miscarriage -- please use discretion in deciding whether this episode is appropriate for you.

In Episode 30, "The Symbolism Buffet," Cait and Jen discuss the joys, challenges, and contradictions of Chapter 23 of Shadow of Night. There's talk of identity, witchcraft, feminism, taking up space, the magic of the Garlickhythe witches, Diana's forespell, and regrettably, Matthew's secret pain.

In Episode 29, Cait and Jen giggle their way through Chapters 21-22 of Shadow of Night. While the show is definitely sillier than usual, there's plenty to say about identity, self care, feminism, the good (and bad) tropes of vampire fiction, partnership, and biting. Yes, biting. Enjoy the show!

In Episode 28, it's time to talk about Chapters 18-20 of Shadow of Night, including the changing mechanics of Diana's powers, the introduction of Phoebe Taylor, and what to do with an ill-mannered 16th century husband. There's character introductions, a bit of sweetness, and of course, just a little bit of magic.

Happy Mabon and autumnal equinox to all those who celebrate. We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, special guest Jennifer Covel (@atinykaiju) helps Cait and Jen answer the lingering questions from All Souls Con. There's Corra, there's Diana, and there's the dangerous distraction of Matthew in riding boots. Rawr. Enjoy!
