We read the middle grade heist fantasy card battler Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians and talk about it for our shortest episode yet!

Next month we'll be reading all of Mistborn: The Hero of Ages, Episode Airs: June 11th

Correction: After the break I make a claim that the Bastille wasn't a prison for very long, I am very wrong! I am confusing it with a completely different French fortress which is embarrassing. The Bastille was made into a prison specifically for political prisoners and anyone the state deemed to be imprisoned, which is part of the reason it was stormed and was such a symbol during the revolution. I should know this better.

Spoilers for Mistborn (the book and our episode)

This conversation is much less professional and much more unhinged, however it is funny. Apologies for the mic quality, it was late at night and we didn't record on our nice microphones. This was recorded the day before the main podcast went live.

CW: sexual discussion, discussion of erotic fanfiction
