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!

Happy Pride Month! This week, we are discussing chapters 5 and 6 of Six of Crows. We're breaking into prison, so that we can break into prison later, so we can break into even more prison even later.

We've been threatening to reach the end of the Shadow & Bone trilogy for a long time, and now we finally have! Stay excited! Season 2 of Shadow & Bone on Netflix will be here before you know it We are going “Into the Fold” for the last time (don't worry, the show isn't ending) Julianna isn't familiar with Avatar: the Last Airbender. Trust us, it's gonna come up. It's okay to be sad about the death of The Darkling It's okay to be happy about the (not) death of Mal Nikolai has his work cut out for him! He wanted to be king, he's got it. We are ending the way we began, and that's some good writing! We are going to miss all the Arianna Grande references.

Getting close to the end of Ruin & Rising (no really, we mean it) and there's NO shortage of moments to talk about: Read Hell Bent, and send us your reviews! Huge thanks to Kalyn for bringing back some incredible notes from the Q&A with Leigh Bardugo Geoff might need a hug, because a certain character got dead Are they in over their heads, or can they win using the power of real science? Don't worry… We all get crushes on fictional characters sometimes If you're going to “do the thing” and get it right, it takes at least five paragraphs Fun segment: “Name Someone Who…” Question of the week: Which member of Team Alina would you most/least want to see survive the final battle?

Everybody's heard that the (fire)bird is the word… but is it, though? Alina and the crew are splitting in two and going off on missions in chapters 13 and 14 of Ruin and Rising! We are no longer censoring our curse words! You have been warned ;-) All the different types of men (well, at least 3) Harshaw & Kaz would be best buds, not that Kaz would admit it. Turns out the third amplifier was with them all along, but they still had to hunt the bird to find it. If your chapter ends on a cliffhanger, cancel your plans. Fun Segment: Set the Scene: Birdcage edition! Question of the week: Would you rather hunt the Firebird with team 1 or team 2? Next time: chapters 15 and 16!

Have you ever thought to yourself “Well… what do we do now?” In this week's episode, our heroes find themselves wondering just that! We are hell bent on getting our hands on Hell Bent! The Darkling is still the Darkling… but not quite as much “Darkling” as he was when we started out The only thing more impressive than a dramatic entrance is a dramatic EXIT Who's in charge here? No, really… who is in charge here? They clearly have no idea Well, I guess we're going bird hunting (finally) Fun segment: Who's Coming to Dinner!?

We're discussing chapters 8-10 of Ruin and Rising this week. No, really! We're actually doing it. We got a breakdown of the Grishaverse panel at NYCC thanks to Kelly! Julianna got something cool in the mail Alina gets some very important background info on three different people The Darkling makes a shirtless Skype call… but why, though? It's no wonder Baghra turned out the way she did. Fun segment!

Geoff and Julianna have been off on their own amazing adventures in the past few weeks, much like the Darkling in Leigh Bardugo's latest release. So, we're taking some time to talk about each of them: NYCC, Kitt Young's new Netflix movie, and Leigh Bardugo gives life to a fellow author's iconic character Demon in the Wood (singular) is a must have! Are there any actual heroes or villains in this story? We aren't 100% sure Julianna runs the Chicago marathon (and it took quite an interesting turn) Geoff performed at Denver LeakyCon We've been so busy on our adventures, we forgot the question we asked our listeners a few weeks ago Next time: chapters 8, 9 and 10!

This week Geoff and Julianna are jet-setting so we have a special episode from the other Juliana for you! Enjoy! Summary: “Be yourself because everyone else is already taken” is a quote from Oscar Wilde that Geoff lives by. Geoff is on the podcast today to talk all things on the importance of saying yes to new opportunities that might scare you, why it's important to be yourself and to not care what others think of you. This episode is a feel-good episode and an inspiration to be the best version of you you can be! Geoff is a 33 year-old, non-binary, pansexual, vegetarian warehouse worker from Louisville, Kentucky. They are a podcaster, a runner, a wizard rock star, and an anime convention staff member. They have a wife and four cats and are a happy family. Follow Geoff!

There are a lot of highs and lows (no really, they literally go up super high after being underground) in chapters 6 and 7: It's not a question of “are we going to get Hell Bent?” It's a question of “which version do we pre-order?” THE TEASER FOR SHADOW & BONE: SEASON 2 IS OUT! The return of characters both great and horrible! Baghra and Nikolai are here, but so is the King of Ravka Genya finally confronts her abuser and lives her truth (CW: this episode contains discussion of rape and sexual assault). Mal is trying, Alina is trying, but there's really only so much they can do about their relationship at this point Fun segment: MAD LIBS! Nikolai returns in this episode, so we had to! Question of the week: Give us a funny insult we can use especially for the Apparat (example: we call Mal “douche canoe”). Next time: chapters 8, 9 and 10! CONTACT US!

We are full of funny voices and Kate Bush references in this week's episode, where we discuss chapters 4 and 5 of Ruin and Rising (NOT Seige and Storm) Leigh is working on some exciting stuff and we are EXCITED Our first five-star review since February is something to be grateful for! The crew make their way through the tunnels and back to the surface, and lots of fun pairings are discussed along the way Julianna is willing to admit that Mal is useful (doing the one thing he knows how to do) Things we want to know: Why is the Apparat… just, why? And, what was it like growing up in Tolya and Tamar's house? How long have we been in these tunnels again? I forget… Fun Segment: “Which Arianna Grande album describes your life?” Question of the week: What do you think the Apparat's real name is?

There's some crafting (and ambulances) in the background of this episode, so clearly good AND bad things were happening in the world while we were recording. Don't worry, our usual level of nonsense is still there! If anybody manages to attend the Grisha Gala in October, PLEASE send us details just in case they don't stream it online Can we get out of this cathedral already? Not without a spectacle! Alina beats the Apparat at his own game while still getting the best lines in each chapter Was Mal here this whole time? We forgot… The Darkling and Alina keep having (sexy?) Zoom calls and the Darkling might have to release an eye shadow palette… And a fragrance… Fun segment: Set the Scene: Bob's Burgers Edition Question of the week: Who is the worst villain: The Darkling or the Apparat?

Hope you like our new logo (don't worry, it's still us) Have fun and stay safe if you're going to NYCC to meet Leigh and the cast of Shadow and Bone The Apparat is ruining everything and he's trying to make you thank him for it Alina still has friends, but how are they going to get her out of this mess??

It is the end! Not of the show, but of yet another Grishaverse book! Today, we complete the chapters of Siege and Storm! “Shadow and Bone” celebrates 10 years, while Into the Fold celebrates 1 year! Zoya is the life of the party, apparently… The Darkling knows exactly which buttons to push, and we don't mean that in a sexy way Mal and Alina only have emotional growth during moments of apocalyptic crisis It turns out someone actually thinks Geoff's Apparat/Gilbert Gottfried voice is canon The “Boy and a Girl” narrative takes a turn. How long will it take to get out of this mess (and on to the next)?
