Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode!
I'm so very excited to be starting the most recent book in the Cradle series by Will Wight, Reaper! It's delightful to be back with our team, although I am very concerned by the fact that we still haven't seen Mercy, Orthos, or Ziel. I'm sure they're all fine, right? RIGHT?
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode!
In this chapter, there's a totally bizarre turn of events in which the Hesper, which I think we were all anticipating would be complicated and difficult to reach, winds up walking right up to our people with no fanfare whatsoever. TWIST!
Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
These chapters there are a bunch of critical moments being reached, but I personally am a LITTLE distracted by the fact that Nikolai has been fucking CONNED and turns out that this shit is NOT meant to free him. I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
Turns out that the dude who has been trying to find Luffy is his BROTHER.
WHaaaaAAAaat

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode!
This chapter is the one in which our crew that's still on the Yaldiv's planet put on their costumes and infiltrate the main hive to get closer to the Hesper. None of this goes the way I expected all, and it turns out that the King knows that they're there, and that they aren't working for the Lone One. What?! I truly can't imagine how this continues from here.
Thanks so much for listening! I will see you soon with a new episode!

So we've got a real weird start to this pair of episodes, with Mister Two getting scooped up onto their ship for reasons that remain pretty unclear other than maybe for the sake of a weird duck/dick joke. Turns out that Mister Two's power is being able to completely change his voice and appearance to mimic anyone that he touches, and I'm very into this concept.
Also there's an odd powder that can make it rain, and what a weird subplot. What is that going to mean for later?

Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are where shit really begins to ramp up. We've got Isaak beginning his attempts to grow closer to the Shu princess so that he can get information, and that already looks like it's going pretty well. Zoya is beginning to try doing some other types of Grisha power, which I'm very into. And as for Nina...
well, she's unexpectedly thrust into the presence of Jarl Brum which I absolutely didn't expect and I'm so mad that this asshole is still alive.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Jacqui for commissioning this episode!
Brando Sando wrote what I think a short story although it's not that short, so perhaps it technically qualifies as a novella. It's a really enthralling story so far, and I'm a little sad that there's only one more episode's worth of coverage. However, this gives me a bit of a peek into the other universes that I haven't seen in my coverage of Mistborn.
I'm very into this whole concept, and also I feel like I just need to go find the collection it's from, Dangerous Women. I am really delighted with these badass bitches.
Thanks so much for listening!

Thank you so much to Patricia for commissioning this episode!
This chapter is a really high-octane for this series, with an actual shoot-out that happens in the apparently abandoned Crossings. Not only that, but we get a rescue from someone that I was definitely not expecting to show up here. And it is AWESOME.
Thanks so much for listening!

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are the ones where our crew finally leaves Drum Island with Chopper in tow. I find this section to be one of the least satisfying because we have yet MORE cruelty directed toward Chopper for NO FUCKING REASON, and then the "cherry blossoms" turn out to be just pink snow.
C'mon.
C'MON.
