PERSONAL UPDATE Welcome back to D. T. Kane’s Epic Fantasy Book Club. Today is DATE as I record this, episode 4. For my person update, it’s an exciting one for me, as this is the first podcast I’ve recorded since The Acktus Trials officially released. Releases are a bit exhausting, getting everything just right and uploaded to all the right places, and I had it doubly hard this time around because I released the podcast at the same time. But I have another book officially out in the world now. I’m eagerly awaiting my copy to come in the mail. One of my friends actually send me a photo in a text today that they’d already received their copy. Jealous! No one should get to see the book before the author does. But I guess that’s the world of print-on-demand books that we live in. A brief note about that, for those of you who don’t know. Authors don’t have to order boxes and boxes of physical books any more. Print on demand has cured that. Amazon and other places now print books one at a time. So if you were to go ahead and purchase one of my books in paperback, it doesn’t exist at the time you click Order. It’s printed once your order is placed, specially for you. ANAYLIS CH. 4 OK, so Ch. 4 picks up right where 3 ended, with Baz and Leanna talking about this Citiless that’s been captured, and other things. Citiless We’ll go a bit out of order here. Let’s talk about this Citiless first even though Baz and Leanna diverge slightly at the start of the chapter. Right off the bat, we learn that the “Table,” which is the government of Erstwhile, made up of one Duke or Duchess from each of the nine Libraries, has a standing order to kill any of these Citiless on sight. Apparently the Citiless, as Baz puts it, have “crazy stories about living Scribes and a return to the old ways.” Leanna clarifies that this means they advocate for a return to days where men could Read, Speak, and write new Spoken Books. This obviously disturbs Leanna, and shows why the Table has such a harsh standing order against them–they pretty much stand for the opposite of the Readers, right? The Readers don’t want anyone to be able to both Speak and Read. We saw what happened to poor Yeltax. Leanna’s vehemence against someone who can both Speak and Read unsettles Baz a bit right? He has to tell himself she wasn’t “intentionally trying to make him uncomfortable.” Baz doesn’t elaborate, but come on guys–what do you think Baz is referring to here? He is one of those individuals Leanna finds so disturbing, yeah? He can Read and Speak, we saw that in the prologue. Oh man, here’s ground ripe for tension. Leanna and Baz seem to be something at least resembling friends if not more, but Leanna is a Conservator who hates Cusses even more than the rest of society. Keep an eye out for this to cause issues in the future. Then Leanna drops the real bombshell here–this Citiless they’ve caught knows how to Read, and apparently he’s Bound, meaning he was born able to draw power from Spoken Books, which means he’s a dreaded Cuss. That’s why they didn’t execute him on the spot, they need to figure out where he learned to Read so they can make sure more like him don’t start appearing. So Baz is about to see what happens if anyone ever discovers his secret. And we learn that Baz has been summoned because each of the Libraries has to have a representative present for the questioning of the Citiless. This dashes Baz’s excitement. Just another “criminal being put to the question.” He’s so cavalier about it, apparently this happens all the time in Erstwhile. Yet more evidence this isn’t a great place to be living. And maybe a bit of that good soul he’s hiding beneath all his sarcasm shows through, too? He shares what he thinks of torture, and he’s not too high on it–either the mere threat of it gets the victim to talk, or they don’t talk until they’ve been broken, and then there’s no way to tell if it’s the truth they’ve giving you ...
