Apologies for the delay (and the audio feedback in our fun segment), but we are REALLY getting into some juicy moments from Six of Crows as we discuss chapters 7-9. Look forward to our first LIVE EPISODE recording at LeakyCon Chicago later this summer! Matthias is fueled by revenge, a misplaced sense of justice, and repression What’s so hard to understand about this: Kaz has a good reason for EVERYTHING he does  There’s a good reason the chapters focus on one character but from another character’s perspective (cough… Jesper and Wylan… cough) It takes more than just big muscles to whoops someone’s ass Fun Segment: Set the Scene, “Bluey” edition!

We’re covering chapters 9 and 10 of Shadow and Bone this episode (so we’re somewhere in the middle)! Geoff’s audio got lost in the Fold, but we had a backup! Our friend Dani makes an excellent connection to Star Wars in our “Voice of the People” segment Grisha education is a military school experience (duh, Geoff) Meet Botkin! He has an interesting approach not unlike Baghra’s Good golly, grisha love to gossip! Maybe there’s a reason for it… The Darkling just keeps messing with Alina’s head, and he might be doing the same with Mal Alina is a-lonely, but how much of that is really her fault? The Apparat: not someone you would want to stand in line behind at Starbucks The Lives of Saints is a real book, y’all! Like, for real! Julianna wishes Alina would just forget about Mal (again) The hosts play a quick game of “Would you Rather” Question of the week: What does the Apparat say is stronger than any army?
