#69 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 32
Who would win in a fistfight: a guy in a wheelchair or a child? Is it ever morally justified to lie? Is aluminum foil worth more than gold? All these questions and more will be answered in our nicest Mistborn episode yet.

#68 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 31
Young comes out in favour of monarchism, Adult desperately tries to avoid getting into politics while reviewing a chapter that's entirely about politics, and we both accuse ska of being criminals just for trying to make a living.

#67 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 30
[Content notes: brief discussion of rape and forced pregnancy.]
A character runs out of paper to write on (is this the key to everything?), Vin doesn't understand hypotheticals, and we wonder why dry academic discussion might seem low-stakes.

#66 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 29
Young yawns at the dialogue, Adult defends eating rotten meat, and we conflate being a Mistborn to being a dog.
Note: the Mistborn subreddit is currently protesting Reddit's policy changes, so this episode won't be posted there for a few days.

#65 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 28
Adult delivers a rambling history lecture, Young comes out in favour of military dictatorship, and we both agree that Vin touched Oreseur innapropriately.

#64 - Mistborn: The Well of Ascension - Ch 27
[Content notes: discussion of rape, sexual abuse, and self-harm.]
We make up our own imaginary version of the chapter, applaud lying and manipulation (especially of your romantic partners to hide that you're cheating), and advocate for overthrowing democracy.
