S07E03: Saparation
In our 34th episode of News from the Breach - A Dragon Prince Podcast, we discuss chapters 5 & 6 of Book Dark: “Sticky Fingers” & “Inversion”.
Aside from bad jokes we rant about anti woke evolvements also in one of our favorite series. And we still don’t know what these creatures are called (hint: they are not Demogorgons).
Thank you very much (as always) for listening and commenting! It’s cool to see (scroll down) some real numbers thanks to Spotify Wrapped.
Oh and we did some more experiments with a local AI and generated a summary of our episode 🤖

The Dragon Prince - Season 9 Episodes 7 & 8 Podcast Summary
Ceilidh and Yana discuss episodes 7 & 8 of The Dragon Prince Season 9, covering events in the Valley of the Graves and the immediate aftermath of Eivoros’s defeat. They break down the action, focusing on the multi-phase takedown of Aravos, highlighting Anya’s strategic use of the ruby and Claudia’s crucial spellcasting. They debate the MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the episode, leaning towards Anya and Astrid for their heroic contributions, though acknowledging Claudia’s pivotal role.
Key Discussion Points:
- Episode Breakdown: Detailed summary of the events in both episodes, including Lissa’s first real appearance, the introduction of Shirak, and the reappearance of the skeleton mage.
- Inversions & Themes: They identify a prevalent theme of “inversion” throughout the episodes – illusions, flipped perspectives, and opposing forces – reflected in imagery and character dynamics.
- Character Concerns & Story Pacing: A significant portion of the discussion revolves around Ceilidh’s disappointment with the current storytelling. She feels the pacing is slow with only three episodes remaining in the series and misses the depth and excitement of earlier seasons, particularly the end of Season 3.
- Unfinished Arcs: Concern is expressed regarding numerous dangling plot threads (Zubaya, the mushroom guy, etc.) that may not receive resolution.
- Dragon King Anticipation: Hope that the upcoming episodes will adequately address the Dragon King storyline.
- Character Appreciation: Despite criticisms, both hosts reaffirm their love for the world, characters (especially Rayla), and the podcast itself.
Overall Sentiment: While acknowledging the exciting action and world-building, the hosts express a slight disappointment in the narrative direction and pacing of the current season, hoping for a stronger conclusion in the remaining episodes. They remain passionate fans and enjoy discussing the show together.
