BRBC week 21: Terrified and terrifying
Just a couple of weeks ago we saw Janner truly become a Throne Warden. Now Artham, who has rescued the family time and again, needs help. Janner has learned much about facing his fears and acting to protect those he loves—but the way this plays out is never what I expected. Janner’s empathy. Leeli’s smile. […]

BRBC week 19: Becoming a Throne Warden
For the second week in a row I wept through our book club chapters. There were so many passages I wanted to share with you—Hulwen. Leeli. Podo. Artham. Janner and Tink. Janner and Tink. I’m grateful to be reading these stories with you, friends. “Put down your weapons!” Artham commanded. “He’s no Fang!” He flew […]

BRBC week 18: I’m sorry / We love you / I’m sorry / We love you
Oy. This week’s reading—chapters 53-58—are some of the hardest in the series. I may as well admit I wept through most of it. If you need to talk, come find me in the forum. What I loved about this passage was that it was not only hard, it was healing. Janner felt a sob rising […]

Nicholas Kole interview, part 1

BRBC week 17: The view from the top of the rise
This week has been hard. Janner and Tink are still separated, despite all efforts. Artham is in a cage. We don’t know how Oskar and the rest of the Igibys fare. This is new territory for everyone, Maraly included. Maker help us, indeed. When Janner topped the rise, he froze. Before him stretched the magnificent […]
