Sam and Dan discuss chapters 29 - the end of Hannah Whitten's The Foxglove King: the first instalment of The Nightshade Crown trilogy.

Now that we've finished the novel, we discuss what we thought was great, the character development of Lore, Gabe and Bastian throughout, the world building of the citadel, the church and the catacombs, some theories for where this trilogy is heading, and some critiques of the plot.
