Episode 144: Stalking Darkness Ch 49-52
In this episode we finish Stalking Darkness by Lynn Flewelling. Seregil and Alec have a water park show down, Irtuk wins most horrible lizard, and we still don't know who the vanguard is? This arc ended in a very satisfying way and we discuss our favorite moments.
The other big announcement in this episode is that we will not be continuing the Nightrunner novels. This felt like a good place to leave off and explore something new. We're going into our traditional end of summer break as we prepare for con season but stay tuned for continued coverage of the Assassin's Apprentice comic and we also plan on reading the Nightrunner short stories as suggested by our listeners.
