Episode 51: Return & A Sudden Storm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight we are going over Chapter 83: Return, and Chapter 84: A Sudden Storm 83 is a very short chapter, nothing of any real note, but 84 is where the meat and potatoes are (mmm potatoes). Kvothe shows Ambrose the intersection of finding out and f-ing around. Elodin saves the day, and we get another terribly heart breaking scene, all within about 10 minutes of in book time. I really hope the theory about the king kvothe eventually kills being Ambrose is true because oh boy does he boil my blood.
Episode 50: Ash and Elm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight we are going over Chapter 82: Ash and Elm We are starting to approach the end of the book, and yet it claims to just be getting started. The mixed signals are real. Kvothe continues to name things despite a church falling on his head. I make a theory about falling off buildings being a requirement for naming, and I have more bad things to say about Denna. This chapter got me a little more riled up than some of the other ones we have read. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we b
Episode 49: Touching Iron & Pride (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight we are going over Chapter 80: Touching Iron and Chapter 81: Pride. I wanted to start off by apologizing for uploading late, this past weekend was a whirlwind. These are some great chapters though. If I could choose for any one chapter to get animated it is Touching Iron, for sure. Kvothe "The non-religious" goes to slay a dragon and simultaneously make everyone think he is one of Tehlu's angels. Ironic huh? Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.
Episode 48: Poison & Sweet Talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight we are going over Chapter 78: Poison, and Chapter 79: Sweet Talk I am writing this the day before the upload and I honestly don't remember much about this recording. I am sure some stuff happens. Giant high cow lizard and extremely stupid savant of a sympathist, and a girl that has had a little too much maple candy, what could go wrong. Also is this the episode with the terminal velocity of squirrels? Whatever Matt said, I'm right. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it
Episode 47: Bluffs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight we are going over Chapter 77: Bluffs. This was a shorter chapter, and what I like to call a feel good chapter. Sure things are looking kind of bleak for Kvothe and Lady Denna, but aren't their interactions just great? Plus, her ability to ask the questions Kvothe is too smart to think are always a delight. What would happen if you found a loden stone made of brass? Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.
