In the third season of Marginalia Pod, we read Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. Our foundational theme for this book is knowledge, and we chose secondary themes for each week.
We couldn’t leave things between Lazlo and Sarai unresolved! We read all of Muse of Nightmares - no themes, just lots of feelings.
It’s our last episode with Strange the Dreamer! We wrap up this wonderful book through the theme of wonder. We are very sad about it.
This week, we read chapters 56-62 through the theme of mercy. Ruby and Sparrow reconnect, Lazlo and Sarai continue falling in love, and Thyon has a lot questions.
It’s all a fight for survival this week as we read chapters 49-55. Thyon is committed to the scientific process. Lazlo and Sarai fight against social bias.
We’re reading chapters 42-48 through the theme of solitude this week. Lazlo and Sarai are getting real cosy in his dreams, and a few terrible truths about Eril-Fane are revealed.
This episode we’re all about rumours. Lazlo and Sarai connect in his dreams, and chaos reigns as Minya unleashes her ghost army.
This week, we’re reading chapters 28-34 through the theme of dreams. Lazlo and the rest of the guests learn their way around Weep. Meanwhile, there’s a sense of panic in the Citadel.
We’re reading chapters 21-27 through the theme of corruption. Weep’s problem weights on everyone’s minds, and Sarai does some lepidopteric recon.
This week, we read chapters 14-20 through the theme of neglect. Lazlo’s been neglected through his childhood, but so have the Godspawn, and their worlds are starting to converge…
This week we’re reading chapters 7-13 through the theme of purpose. What does it all mean? What is the point? Don’t worry, we don’t get too philosphical!
Welcome to season 3! We get stuck into Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor through the overall theme of knowledge and, this week, expectations.
