Huge thanks to Kyle for keeping me going on this Dandelion Dynasty series!
I'm really into this whole idea of life just going on even after the supposedly happy ending. I mean, I'm not into it at all because I'm a big fan of closure and tying up loose ends and feeling like there's a semblance of order to the universe. But I see the beauty and sadness in it all the same.
We start out this book with a time jump, in a bar with Kuni's children as they listen to a story about Mata's epic fight with that one dude that lasted like four days. A guy comes in trying to pretend he's an official and extort money, and when he's shown to be a fraud, he flees. The gods decide to intervene here, and give this ugly, low man a partner to make trouble with.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon (hopefully!) with a new episode!
