Thank you very much to Devin for commissioning this episode!
The endings of these damn books have made me cry almost every time, and this is no exception. Goddammit, Diane.
Thanks for listening, and I might see you with some more episodes in a few months!

Thank you very much to Andrew for commissioning this episode!
I'm so delighted by these chapters, guys. I'm not getting into much in the text because I'm trying to get these all posted by vacation, but damn getting to see Lindon and Yerin face off is so good. SO GOOD.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode!
I am really surprised by the massive twist in these chapters, which is when Sonea goes out into the wasteland and finds a bunch of small magical stones planted in different areas to keep the land from ever being fertile again. While a part of me wants Sonea to be right about who planted them because that's a total baller move, I'm also a little bit hoping that it's something even more surprising than that.
I hope you enjoy the episode, and I will see you again in a few weeks with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Paul for commissioning this episode!
Wow, so this was a helluva first episode. I'm so glad that I didn't watch this show on my own because I'm really excited to officially cover it, but also I'm really mad that I can't binge it because I am fucking HOOKED, kids. DO YOU HEAR ME?
I have so many thoughts and I don't really cover this chronologically so I hope you're ready for some stream-of-consciousness thought on the whole thing and all the various pieces of the puzzle we've been given so far.
Thanks again for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Andy for commissioning this episode!
So I've decided to slow down my reading for the remainder of the coverage because I'm always running behind when I record, and in accordance with that I'm only covering two chapters of this last section. And as it turns out, it was the right decision.
Because holy shit there's a lot to talk about. Yerin and Lindon are going to fight and I am SO EXCITED. And mad. But mostly excited.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you again shortly with the finale of this book!

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode!
I'm almost done with this book and I am absolutely not ready.
This section we get an absolutely devastating sequence where Lindon manages to pull an OG Blackflame out of his madness using his friend Little Blue. The elation he feels at doing a bit of good is one of the most pure senses of success he's ever experienced.
And the Sophara kills the guy anyway.
It's brutal, you guys. I wasn't ready.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Jessie for commissioning this episode!
Only three more episodes of this series to go, and I have no idea how we're going to wrap up so quickly! This episode is the one where they sorta come to a conclusion I theorized on last episode, in which I suggested maybe using the World Seed to create a new Fillory...or something? What it comes down to is that they want to allw Fillory to be destroyed, and Fen is not okay with it.
And meanwhile, I'm having mixed feelings about this season and it seems like I'm really not going to be satisfied by the time this is all over. I guess we will have to wait and see!
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode!
Whew, so these chapters are getting spicy now, kids! We find out that Lorkin doesn't even know why he was let out of prison, and he winds up being the target of yet another undercover agent disguised as a slave. He gets saved by a Traitor YET AGAIN (you owe them a lot, Lorkin) and finally gets smuggled out of the Guild House by Ashaki Achati.
Meanwhile, Sonea is traveling and dealing with some confrontational conversation about the history between her and Regin. I think that there's been some hints that things might grow romantic between the two of them and I'm NOT here for it.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode!
So in this section we see Lindon reveal a little more about himself than I gave him credit for, and after kind of showing his hand he winds up rocketing up to number 10 and getting noticed. Yerin comes in right after him, and I just have to say that I'm so delighted there's a way that they can start off competing with one another without actually fighting.
Then we get the Hunger Games version of the Tournament that I expected from the start, and it turns out that they're going to be fighting over these weird crowns. And who shows up? You know who. And she's pissed and vicious and I'm askeered.
Thank you very much for listening and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode!
This episode is when we FINALLY get the answer to so many of the questions that I've been asking (and which NOBODY else has been asking, BTW) and it's actually pretty interesting. Turns out that the Takers are the guard dogs of the Underworld, and they've been dragging people away because...I guess they're confused over who is alive and who is dead and deserves to be pulled into Hell?
Whatever. We get to see Hades again, and I find him so compelling but ALSO goddamn dude take some fucking responsibility. You fucking BAILED and your shit started to fall apart. This is YOUR fault! WHERE YOU BEEN, bro?
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
