If you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse… Welcome back. This episode takes us through Empire of Storms chs. 66–78, aka the stretch where hope is dangled in front of us and then violently ripped away. Alliances fracture, sacrifices are made, and the emotional whiplash is so intense we had to pause just to breathe. Every page feels like a warning sign and somehow we still weren’t ready.

Over in Tower of Dawn ch. 57, the weight of everything finally lands. Quiet moments that hurt just as much as the loud ones, and choices that will ripple far beyond this book. It’s tender, devastating, and somehow exactly what we needed after being emotionally drop-kicked by EOS.

This episode is pain, processing, and pure SJM chaos. New episode is live. Come cry, scream, and spiral with us.
