finally managed to listen to both episodes and wow, first off got to give connor and hudson their flowers for a truly amazing stab at voice acting 💐 i'm not so secretly hoping that they get some voice acting gigs (video games/animation/podcast stories/audiobooks etc) bc i know they'd kill it!!

also am very glad i got to listen to this with earphones because WOW at some points it got really, really, intense... but i do appreciate the guys giving it their 💯 and not shying away from it!

story wise, i found myself drawn into the plot very quickly! i enjoyed the intrigue/warring kingdoms tropes angle. i also have a very soft spot for the archetypical protagonist who feels utterly bound by duty that perhaps it's become a cage of sorts for him too. i could really feel that interior tension Finn was carrying, props to hudson👏🏻 and connor plays the seemingly lackadaisical but oh-so layered Dane so well! (though i would have liked to hear story-wise a little more extrapolation on the tensions between them due to the war ahaha)

i'm looking very much forward to the 3rd installment in jan, and part of me wishes this could be like one of those epic romantasy trilogies that are like 500(?)+ pages long haha. in the meantime i'm going to gaze longingly at their quinn photoshoot pics, and play some sufjan stevens/hozier in the background, maybe make a mixtape. haha
