In this episode: Wielder of Names recap podcast...part 1! We cover chapters 1-3. Book 2 is where the comic really kicks off, as Allison struggles with feelings of inadequacy and accepting her responsibility on the way to Mottom's palace. Meanwhile, White Chain learns of Metatron and the Thorns' plans. Caught between duty, selfhood, compassion, and rejection from her family, she (temporarily) agrees to work with the Thorns. There's a lot of exploration into characters and central conflicts in this episode, so we take a quick detour into our new segment, Matt's Cats!
