Content warning: This episode discusses miscarriage and loss of pregnancy. Listener discretion is advised.

Kitty from the US and Kyle R. from the US join Alyssa for our discussion of Andrzej Sapkowski's Tower of Swallows, Chapter 3. Very important bits include: Sirens of the Deep/raunchy Little Mermaid retellings, the framing narrative and Half a Century of Poetry, Milva's grief following her miscarriage, Cahir's trustworthiness (and positive reinforcement over survival), "the waist is as low as we go," Gwent and the sprawling Nilfgaardian spy network, and Hannibal Lector, gynocologist.
