We’re back on the bench for our very first reading episode of The Poisoned King! This week we cover pages 1–52, where Christopher returns to the Archipelago, we meet a new character Anya (and her very special birds), and the story leaves us on a cliffhanger at the royal ball.We talk about how Christopher has changed since Impossible Creatures, what life might feel like for Anya moving from the forest to the castle, and who might really be behind the poisoning of her grandfather.We also share a listener’s favorite reading spot (keep sending yours in!), and celebrate a milestone — 75 downloads! Help us reach 100 next week by sharing this podcast with a friend.Next Reading: Pages 53–108 (Rage through Freshwater Spring).
