Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode!

These chapters are the ones in which Tarasai begins to come into her own and find her power. She and Sanjeet make it to a mysterious woman who has a ton of Tutsu, AKA fairies, living all over her property. I am really loving this transition for her, and I can't wait to see where she heads after this.

Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

This chapter we meet Jason Blackwell for the first time, and I don't know who he is to this story or how important a role he will play in the plot, but apparently he's having quite an effect on Jordan and so he intrigues me. Meanwhile, Jill is off with Ryan and they're learning a lot about one another and their powers, plus brainstorming some answers for where Aftermath might be hiding.

These chapters are the ones in which we get to see what the dangers are in the bush, and turns out that shit is no fucking joke. I don't know when I'm going to learn that this author is not here to play. Throughout all of this, there's the overlaying sadness of Sanjeet pulling back from Tarasai, and man that keeps breaking my heart.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

In these chapters, the most notable thing IMO is the death of Governor Theresa Gregory. Listen, the woman is no great loss to humanity, as we know from getting to see inside her mind and get a glimpse of her plans...but damn did she make an effective target for Aftermath.
I hope you all are enjoying the coverage, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Patricia for commissioning this episode!

This is the chapter where Nita and Kit go to visit the Lone One, and it is living in a pretty awesome looking temple while being gawked at by the locals, none of whom seem to take it seriously or be scared at all. Nita manages to box the Lone One into a pretty specific promise, and I'm super curious how this is going to work out for it.

Thank you all for listening, and I will be seeing you again soon with a new episode!

These chapters are so hard, y'all. The whole thing, from start to finish, is an absolute loss of hopes and ideals and innocence that Tarasai was somehow still clinging to despite everything she's already gone through. Not only are her dreams of justice very nearly mocked and certainly dismissed, but her mother finds a way to reactivate her Ehru mission and I HATE IT.
Thank you for listening!

This section is the start of the crescendo of all the crisis coming to a head finally. Nita and Kit have a kind of a blowout with Quelt, who very understandably wants to know who the fuck they think they are. Meanwhile, on planet Earth, the guests at Dairines as well as Dairine herself, head to the Sun.
Thanks for listening!

In these chapters, turns out that there's something that was left out of the Display on Alaalu and I have to admit I don't totally understand it. Why was it left out? Who engineered that? What difference does it make if the occupants of this planet know those details?
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

In these chapters, we finally meet Aftermath and I'm really into him as a villain. His attitude and his power make him really feel like a threat in a way that Tretyak's reserved vibe didn't quite manage until the confrontation with Jordan. However, there are some things in this section that I found puzzling and didn't quite work for me.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

In this one I finish up chapter 9 because I ran out of time last episode, and I am genuinely surprised at the way things go in the following episodes. Demons are apparently real? I was SO SURE that they were going to turn out to be bullshit. I mean, damn!

Thanks for listening!
