Bonus: Do You Know Who I Am Yet?

It's another bonus episode all about Nona the Ninth! Sort of. This episode is focused on the biggest theories and questions we had going into Nona and was recorded before we read it, so there aren't any spoilers or discussion of events past the excerpts released before publication. Although the book's obviously out now, we decided to resurrect this bonus episode from the dead, if you will, in order to establish what our expectations were going into Nona and give an overview of some of the biggest theories that were out there. Our next bonus episode will follow up on this as we take a look at what we were right and wrong about in Nona—and all the new questions we have.

* SPOILER ALERT * We reference events from Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth in this podcast, as it’s intended for readers who’ve already finished both books.
