Kvothe starts to get his life back on track while we take a look at what he's learned in Tarbean, start to pick apart the story of Lanre, and reprimand Jordana for trying to get us to reveal where we've hidden her lamp.

Despite being only 8 lines long, this page leads us to a long argument about the sources of surnames.

Kvothe explains why he never went to find Ben, answering a question that has bothered Nick for ages. We discuss the kinds of readers that are bothered by certain plot holes, discuss how Rothfuss turns the plugging of a plot hole into an opportunity, and we get to say "verisimilitudinous"

We're back with the actual Page 186 to talk about the purpose the interludes serve! (and we talk for probably an equally long amount of time about the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels)

We talk about the MAAAPPP and the detail (or lack thereof) that it provides, how traditions vary by geographic locations, and how the POV affects the prose.

CW: a discussion on sexual assault. This page heavily implies that Kvothe himself has been a victim, and we discuss what that means for the character and the book.

This short chapter is jam-packed with important information! We wonder at the significance of certain names (chances are names are significant, right?) point out the techniques used on the page, and discuss the choice to make this chapter a chapter at all.

Trapis wraps up his story and Kvothe does some speculation. We do some speculation of our own, wondering what motivates the Tehlin church, draw parallels to Satan, and Jordana rightly calls the boys out on their bullshit.

Encanis still doesn't get a chance to apply any agency. We argue over what proofs we can apply to our various theories, appreciate alliteration, and discuss how we can make prose sound more archaic by changing the sentence structure.

Tehlu casts Encanis into the fire. We discuss what this story says about Trapis, whether Encanis had a choice, and slide into an alternate reality where we are doing the Page of Thrones podcast.
