02 – The Great Shadow and Bone Reread

The second episode of Never the Twins Shall Meet is now available and you can listen here

While awaiting the arrival of the Netflix Shadow and Bone adaptation, Pie & Lulu reread the first book in the series. If you want to hear two book nerds revisiting a favorite book from middle school and discussing how how it’s held up and how it hasn’t, as well as our hopes for the TV show (and worries), look no further!

Content warnings: discussion of an emotionally manipulative relationship, mentions of ableism.
