Episode 235: ꜱʜʀɪᴇᴋᴄᴀꜱᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛꜱ

The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy, chapters 1-3 It's new book day! It's a short but sweet one this week: we convened at late-o-clock to make sure to get this one recorded, because the prospect of covering a book while it's (relatively) new is too exciting. Given our dim view of the first novel, what sort of first impression does the sequel make? It turns out... hey, not bad! We're as shocked as you are. We discuss the refreshingly brisk opening of the novel, the stylistic changes apparent in the opening chapters, and the odd situation the book finds itself in as a piece of fiction that seems to be trying to escape the Potter orbit while still being marketed directly to Dramione fans. big ass thunderclap is at 6:05
