Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode!
This episode was full of surprises, and the biggest one is that it's mostly about Rebecca and Josh being disgustingly happy together. I had no idea we were going to turn this corner again, and honestly I see that it's an accurate depiction of how hard it can be to move on, but it's not capturing my interest in this case. The only thing that saves this episode is the introduction of the new and acidic owner of the firm, Nathaniel.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

I want to register my shock that Josh's new relationship is already over, although I'm not sad about it and I really hope that Josh actually suffers a little. Does that make me a bad person? Oh well, we already knew that.
Meanwhile, there's the drama with Paula and her husband, which I'm dreading watching further because I want her to forgive him but even if she does, things will never be the same again. In good news, though, Rebecca manages to prove herself to Paula and they are friends again. YAY.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, we get a flashback to the situation that landed Luan Zya in the trouble we now see, and it's both agonizing and fascinating. I can't decide how I feel about this guy; sometimes he seems so thoughtful and kind, and then he will do something like try to risk the lives of innocent sailors on a whim of curiosity.
I have no idea what leads to him being tortured and mutilated, and I'm not excited to find out. :(
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

I can't believe there's only one more episode of coverage of this book, because there just seems to be so much to wrap up. The main thing, though, is that I have a feeling I know who Clariel is and I'm already very sad about it, and dreading having to watch it happen.
At the same time, I'm dying to know if I'm right and can hardly wait for the next episode!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode, and for commissioning a live-watch despite the fact that I got it wrong!
This episode is one of the few that deals in a situation that I confess I don't have a lot of experience in, and in that sense I had to suspend some disbelief and also accept that people recovering from breakups tend to be much more irrational than I can understand.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Mathy for commissioning this episode!
I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I loved this episode a ton. I mean, it's Margo-centric, which usually speaks to me, but it's also about women's voices being oppressed and the realization of many young women that they are not going to get what they were promised. Or if they do, it will cost a higher price than anyone cares to admit.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode, and I will be seeing you soon with another!

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode!
It's the final battle in the strange land that the Irish wizards (plus Kit and Nita) have stepped into, and there are a couple moments in which it really looks like they're outnumbered. This is when we get to see the full force of the cup and the stone and what they're capable of. It's actually pretty dope!
Then there's the confrontation with Balor, and I have to confess that I wasn't ready for how much pain it was going to inflict. I ALSO wasn't ready for a sarcastic cat to get the better of him!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will be seeing you soon with the start of the next book!

Thank you so much to Yama for commissioning this episode!
We're getting into it now, kids, and poor Clariel was dead right about how things were going to go once she and Bel landed the paperwing. It's super irritating to read because we know that Bel means well, but he's also very naive. Alas.
Also, MOGGET IS HERE!

Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode as well as a live read!
This episode is FUCKING BANANAS. Balls-out bananas. I don't even know where to start, but the main event here is that Keith Mars is apparently going to be a major player and looks to be the one behind the team's abduction in the previous season. He has a really fascinating backstory, and I think I know what he's up to but we shall see!
Meanwhile, our people are soon surrounded by fellow travelers due to a loophole of questionable ethics that makes Philip very uncomfortable. I'm really interested in whether this is due to their orders getting hijacked, or if the director was INDEED the one who gave them the orders.
Thanks for listening, and I will see them soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Jaime for commissioning this episode!
I'm super excited to be getting back into this universe, and that excitement was rewarded with a helluva twist. I never expected that Alina would get caught, NEVER. Or if she was caught, I assumed that she was going to escape before they were able to collar her. NOPE. WRONG AGAIN.
I'm really into this book and I'm looking forward to seeing how this book wraps, because the next one is coming up!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
