In this episode of Reading Rainstorm, we dive deep into John Gwynne's epic fantasy novel "Malice." Our discussion focuses on the intriguing character of Gar, speculating on his hidden strengths and mysterious actions. We analyze how Gar knew to find Corbin in the woods, his impressive physical abilities, and the significance of his injuries, drawing parallels to well-known fantasy tropes and characters.

We also explore the unfolding plot, particularly the impending God War, and make predictions about which characters might fall first in battle. McQueen and Castiel's potential fates are debated, with a consensus leaning towards McQueen being the first to face the conflict head-on. Additionally, we reflect on Corbin's visions and their implications for the characters' decisions in the story.

Our segment, Roll for Inspiration, adds a fun twist as we roll the dice to determine Aquilis's charisma and his ability to rally support for the impending battle. This sparks further discussion on whether his efforts will be timely or too late.

Throughout the episode, we engage in lively banter, share our favorite moments from the book, and express our anticipation for the upcoming chapters. Join us as we read through chapter 40 of "Malice" and prepare for the epic battles and revelations that await in John Gwynne's gripping tale.
