S1E14 - Elantris Ch. 40-42: I'm Sorry I Don't Understand Your Goo Metaphor

In this episode, we spend some time discussing Helicopter Story by Isabel Fall and the transphobic harassment campaign that was raised up against her after its publication. We want to firmly voice our support for Fall, and our condemnation of the authors and fans responsible for the harassment she has received. If you feel like discussion of these topics might be triggering, we discuss them from about the 29 minute mark to the 50 minute mark, so feel free to jump ahead.

On a lighter note, Elantris is as always a terrible book. But at least it has Hrathen. Hrathen alone makes this a better book than anything Patrick Rothfuss has ever written.
