Unlocking this Patron-exclusive episode since it's relevant to everyone, and we miss you!
Earlier this year the Kingkillernet was abuzz with a new rumour, as the forum that Rothfuss uses to communicate with his translators set a new record for concurrent users. We discuss the rumours, the chance of - and our feelings toward - book 3. And we get a few digs in at JJ Abrahms and George Lucas for good measure.

The Pagers sign off (for the time being) with a personal retrospective of how this project has changed their lives. We also take questions from the listeners who joined us for the live stream, read the final mail from the Mailbag, and let everyone know what's coming next.
Outro music: Since You Been Gone by Rainbow
It’s the end. We scramble to have the last word.

Auri rests atop the roofs, waiting for her friend. We talk about what Nate Taylor’s illustration process might be, the odd perspective in the picture, and what the illustration does with time.

Auri thinks of what she’ll do for Kvothe. We talk about the sinister turn these thoughts might be taking, uncover what might be a new crackpot theory, and question what Auri’s knowledge of the Ciridae might mean.

Inspired by an action figure, Auri goes to put her face on. We ship an all-time bad episode as we fail to remember anything about the proceeding books and try to talk about what Kvothe thinks of Auris’ gifts, who else Auri hangs with, the real-world history of cosmetics, and where Auri goes to poop.

Page 145: Sorrel To Bother You by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large
Vi and Dane have a tense discussion. As we move into the second act, we talk about how Dane sucks, the anticipation we’ve all been feeling about this moment, and how important it is for your protagonist to not always have a perfect plan for everything.

Auri discourses on her knowledge of the true nature of things. We talk about how magical this page feels, and on the precise nature of that magic (despite technology crapping out!). We also talk about clever wordplay, and the relationships between different kinds of science and different kinds of magic.

Auri debates doing something drastic to get this candle made. We open with our most sizzling open of all time, before discussing the nature of the moon as it relates to alchemy, how Rothfuss tantalizes us with the details (and lack thereof) of alchemy, and what Auri’s relationship with Mandrag can tell us about the timeline of events.

Auri assembles a series of perfect ingredients for her craft. We talk about how Auri seems to be the only one who gets Kvothe, how Auri seems to be ok doing things for something else, and the terror of the Tiger Bomb.

Auri does the worst thing imaginable: some math. We talk about the eponymous “wickless”, the out-of-order illustrations, and learn an awful lot about the properties of laurel fruit.

We get a detailed inventory of what’s in Boundary. We talk about how Auri perceives her old lab, what a circtangular shape might be, why Auri’s lab would be so remote, and waste a fair bit of time talking about Severance.

Auri decides to make Kvothe a candle. We talk about laurels, Jeremy learns a crazy fact about olives (nature’s most delicious fruit), and the rule of threes being acknowledged in the story.
Also, rest assured that Nick will be severely punished for juggling his microphone throughout the episode.

Auri sets the room up for Kvothe to stay, should he need. We talk about the illustrated book of secrets, how this page foreshadows something that MUST pay off in Doors of Stone, and then we dispense some more unforgettable makeout advice.

Auri starts to resolve some long-simmering problems in her environment - but to what end? We talk about the logic Auri is using to justify the choices and actions she takes on this page, the promise of sleepovers, and how we used to be a proper country.

Auri figures out everything and realises she’s made a scheduling error. We continue to bang as we talk about Auri’s Jordana logic, assess the strange scheduling communication from Wise Man’s Fear, and Jordana enters the mind palace in order to determine when Book 3 will arrive.
