  <description>Our FOLK OF THE AIR journey has come to an end with the novella HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES by Holly Black! This one is short and sweet, but we still manage to find a way to become unhinged and emotional, so worry not - it still packs a punch. We talk trauma, stories, and, of course, Cardan being a giant simp. We're sad to see this journey come to an end, but we've had a great time and we're excited for what's to come. Stick around to find out what that is, and don't forget to send us your pressing book questions for our end of the year mailbag episode! And rate and review us on iTunes so we can read your review on the show!
As always, thanks to Martha Riley for our art and Djempirical for our music.

  <description>We are joined by returning guest Jessie to discuss book 3 in Holly Black's FOLK OF THE AIR series: THE QUEEN OF NOTHING! We talk personal and political power, relationship dynamics, redemption, giant snakes, and so much more! Once again, we tried to be chill about our Jurdan feelings, but honestly...it gets a little unhinged. What else did you expect? We're covering each book in this series spoiler-free, so even though this book marks the end of the main trilogy we do not spoil what happens in the Cardan novella - that's for next week. Join us next week to wrap up this series, and stay tuned for some scheduling news! We're also planning a mailbag episode for the end of the year, so if you have any book questions or topics you want us to talk about, just shoot us an email or a DM - and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes! We'd love to read your emails on the show.
As always, thanks to Martha Riley for our art and Djempirical for our music. And a big thanks to Jessie for joining us for another great episode!
