Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. This is the first part of our coverage of The Faith of Beasts, the second novel in the series! This episode is spoilers for the entirety of The Captive's War Universe

In this episode:

• We talk Anjiin origin myths, and how the Story of Ke fits into what we already know.
• Lord Dafyd Alkhor deals with many nightmares, alien, procreative, and logistical alike, and starts a Carryxese streak on Duolingo.
• Rickar warns Campar of the dangers of Love in Hell, and meets a new mollusk friend.
• Jessyn begins her messy bisexual getaway on World.
• Brigid summarizes the first four chapters and does The Swaaaaarm voice more times than you could possibly anticipate.
• Clint runs down the major post-TFOB theories of the Deathless enemy and wonders why there isn't a grid network on World.
• We go long on the choice to introduce reproduction into the story, and what it means for the narrative going forward.
