Chapter 38: Xander the Sleep Paralysis Demon

We return this week to swashbuckle through chapters 13-16 of the incandescent Leigh Bardugo’s Ruin and Rising! This episode is like, really funny. Like you know how we always say we’re so funny? This episode is proof positive. Buckle in for musical references, irreverent humor, and more, with bonus cackling included free of charge. Mal’s like a bird - he only flies away; Alina doesn’t use protection; and the Darkling, hereafter referred to affectionately as “Uncle Alex,” makes a rather disturbing lawn ornament.

Chapter 37: Ripped to Pip

We return to our regularly-scheduled programming with chapters 5-8 of Leigh Bardugo’s Ruin and Rising!

Chapter 34: Toast Pocket

We are BACK in action and better than ever! Thank you for your patience while we took some time to enjoy our summer. We return to Alina’s story in Leigh Bardugo’s Ruin and Rising. We’re doing things a little differently with Ruin - we will be covering it 4 chapters at a time instead of 5! Today, we tackle chapters 1-4. In this episode, we remember how much we hate the Apparat, Jordy has a rare Mal stan moment, Em makes some connections, and Alina takes control of her life. We hope you’re as excited about returning to Alina’s story as we are! Follow us on Instagram @twomournerspod and our TikTok @twomournerspodcast!
