  12. #58 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 19

  13. #57 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 18

    [Content notes: a lot of this episode consist of discussion of mental health issues, self-harm, and sexual abuse.] Could this be a chapter so meaty and interesting, we actually stayed mostly on-topic for once? Predictions:...
