An illustration of where we last left Auri, sitting on a rooftop, waiting for Kvothe. Jordana analyzes the page in detail, and we talk about how the moonlight and Auri are visually connected on this page, illustration techniques for white on black, and how the artist draws our focus towards Auri. You’re also gonna hear a lot of nonsense about the printing process. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Seemingly rather sadly, Auri waits. We talk about The Hollybottle, how Auri don’t need no man, and we learn too late about radium and the Radium Girls.

Auri bravely moves to the roofs, among the chimbleys. We talk about how we’ve become a hideous amalgam, the omnipresent chimbleys, and how “real” names are valid to Auri. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri leaves the Underthing and takes a look at the moon. We talk about the odd shape of Auri’s holly berries, the specifics of exiting Applecourt, and spitball about the possibilities of the mysterious ol’ moon. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Our hero considers what to take as a gift for her potential visitor. We talk about how Auri, like Kvothe, goes looking for her love, challenge the idea of capital-K Knowers, discuss the mysterious Book of Secrets, and return to a fan-favourite theory. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri is delighted to discover a perfect space, but is distracted by mysterious music. We rue the state of affairs that brought us to (temporarily!) lose a co-host, talk about how Auri’s feelings for Kvothe might skew romantic, Auri’s relationship with her own (possibly sexual?) desires, and what perfection means to her. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri figures out what to do with the gear! We talk about how it’s easy to recognize your own flaws in others, less so in yourself. We talk about how the machinata make us think of Numenara, and the masculine nature of Foxen. Fair warning - this episode contains a lot of nonsense too. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri has a new task to be about!

Auri finds her name, and returns to home, and to herself. We are immediately derailed by Jordana’s nastiness and the word effulgent, but eventually we talk about Auri’s perfect leaf, and the ethics of writing in a book. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri satisfies herself that she is alone, as best she can. On this page, Jordana registers some suspicion regarding a page number, and then we talk about whether we can trust what Auri tells us about her reasoning, and do a deep dive into Auri’s terror. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
