SEASON 3 EPISODE 10: WONDER
It’s our last episode with Strange the Dreamer! We’re very sad about it. For this final section, we’re reading Chapters 63-67 through the theme of wonder. The Citadel tips to the side and a girl falls to her death. Lazlo rushes into action, saving Weep, and coming fully into his inheritance as Godspawn and son of Skathis. He finds Sarai’s body and carries her to the Citadel, where he confronts Minya, demanding she catch Sarai’s soul. She does, but there are consequences... and that is the end! We also wrap up the book and talk about what’s next.
