Welcome to the 102nd Episode of the ABC Pod the Adult Book Club where we drink and we read things. This episodefeatures The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. Discussion of the book starts at the 7th minute. Spoilers are between the 38 and 1:11 minute marks. This book sets up the trilogy by spending a lot of time with its characters, and because of that, the discussion of all of them dominates this episode. Inspoilers we touch on the characters we meet later on and then revisit our main points of view to talk about their character arcs. We finish with our usual segments and a return author for the next episode. Enjoy!
