Due to technical difficulties, today's episode is limited to chapter 8, with no mailbox segment. But we found quite a bit in chapter 8 to talk about!

Adult rants about the true nature of the cosmos, Young hates on a mega chad, and we both plot an assasination.

Adult cheers for tearing people's faces off and wearing them as masks, Young praises killing dogs, and we both praise the strict comittment to hard sci-fi realism of Star Trek.

Adult attacks the plot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Young believes in ghosts and astral projection, and we deeply offend neopagans and Seeker fans everywhere.

A new book begins! (A good jumping-on point if you're new, hint hint.) Young is surprised that time has passed between episodes, Adult advocates violating the Geneva Conventions, and we both pay our respect to the new King(s).

The episode past 1h40m was missing. This has now been fixed! If you previously listened to the Mistborn Epilogue episode, you can go back and listen from the 1 hour 40 minutes mark for the remainder of your episode. (You may need to re-download it depending on how you've been listening.)

In this very special season finale of Young/Adult, your hosts call their predictions stupid, all their favourite characters boring, and world-renowned author Brandon Sanderson an amateur with a lot to learn about proper writing. 

Also: Adult suddenly remembers an exciting bet made in episode 3! 

Content notes: Eye trauma; minor spoilers for The Sandman, Skulduggery Pleasant, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings.

Young and Adult are joined by special guest star Old in reading H. P. Lovecraft's arguably most famous horror story: The Call of Cthulhu.

Adult endorses the Lord Ruler's genocides, Young claims it's mathematically impossible for Elend to strike out on his own, and we both get very mad about cage design.
