I want everyone to thank Megan for commissioning the next episode of Six Of Crows for me, since it's been a while and there's a fair amount of the book still left to go at this point! I have been dying to know what happened, and because the chapters are so short and action-packed there's a whole lot to talk about this episode.
First off, there's Nina and her attempt to trick a commanding officer who had once taken her prisoner. Spoil alert: she fails her bluff roll and this motherfucker knows exactly what's going on from the start. It appears that Matthias betrayed her, but it turns out he's actually made a decision to never betray her again so...that's nice!
A whole other faction gets involved when some squallers appear and pull the guards' blood out of their pores, and Jesper has to take them down using the tiny metal filings caught up in his clothes as weapons...it's brutal.
Thanks again to you all for listening, and I will see you soon (I hope!) with a new episode!
