We asked you to give us some questions and challenges to end the year on, and you delivered! Feast your ears on this episode full of laughter and us reading never-before-heard passages from The Isles of the Gods and Nightbirds. Travel with us into some of our books' more joyful moments, hilariously embarrassing interludes, and lushest settings (no spoilers, promise). There might even be a golden pheasant or two.
