This week the Sib Nerds discuss Chapters 10 & 11.

It’s a good time to be a Jean and Ezri shipper! It’s canon!

Scott Lynch keeps presenting scenarios that plant seeds of doubt in Jean and Locke’s relationship—we are once again asking if the prologue is a real betrayal or something staged?

Happy Reading!

This week the Sib Nerds discuss Chapters 8 & 9. We thought we were swashbuckling last week! Now we’re with the real pirates! Locke has certainly met his match! How will the boys deal with getting their next round of antidote? Happy Reading!

This week the Sib Nerds discuss Chapters 6 & 7. We’re in full swashbuckling mode now! Women and cats are good luck on ships in this world, which was refreshing to hear that women aren’t bad luck. The cats added some comical relief—as well as some turmoil. Pirate ghost stories? Yes, please! How do you think this section would be presented on the silver screen? Happy Reading!

The SibNerds are unpacking Andor today—and boy, do we have a lot to say! Andor gave us a fresh look at the Star Wars universe and raised the stakes for the Star Wars Skywalker Saga. It did for Star Wars what The Last Jedi wanted to do. We talk about different character arcs and story points, as well as how the story relates to the broader picture. It was fascinating, and we can’t wait for season 2!

This week the Sib Nerds discuss Chapters 4 & 5. We seem to have developed a pattern of Locke visiting with Requin and then being taken in by Stragos. It’s a bit of an unfortunate pattern, for the boys. They’re just getting beat up all over the place. Looks like we may be heading into pirate territory too, which is exciting! We’ve come to the last reminiscence, which is a little sad… Happy Reading!

Josef was inspired by the new God of War Ragnarok game to talk about all things Vikings! Join the Sib-Nerds as they discussion Vikings. As always, we are not historians but love learning! We also really enjoy different shows and stories that utilize Vikings. If anything, Anna was inspired to do some more research after recording this episode. Random discussions before the episode content: What is an eggcorn? What is a big box store? And, the question I know you’ve been dying to know, are dragon eggs fertilized before or after their laid?
