We’ve come full circle! In this season-finale episode, we look back on The Poisoned King by Katherine Rundell—the dragons, the courage, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that kept us turning pages week after week.
Together, we share what surprised us most, what we learned about justice and friendship, and why Anya’s bravery and Christopher’s loyalty made this such a powerful story to finish our first season. We also talk about Rundell’s trademark humor—how even in the darkest scenes, her wit and warmth remind us to hold on to hope.
👉 This week’s question:
What book should we read next season? Should we return to Impossible Creatures or venture somewhere new?
