Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. This is the second part of our coverage of The Faith of Beasts, the second novel in the series! This episode is spoilers for the entirety of The Captive's War Universe.

In this episode:

• We check in with Tonnor Fries, who let's face it is not having a very good time.
• Dafyd starts leaning into authoritarianism but that the locals are getting a little punchy.
• The Swarm reveals itself and it goes about as well as they could possibly have hoped. 
• Jessyn and <3 Garral <3 have theeee cutest effing meet cute and we can't wait for them to get a room.
• Clint riffs on Anjiineese sexuality, JSAC's love of love, and his maybe/probably/definitely correct theory of what World is.
• Brigid takes a victory lap, grabs all the religious references she can, and connects Ver Cannadan to the immigrant experience.
• We finish off TFOB Pt. I STRUCTURE with a discussion of some very important and horny small moments.
