The Golden Compass, Chapters 7-12 (Patreon)

Hello Patrons, and Happy Saturday! Hope you're having a good weekend so far, and if you're not, this should improve it! 

It's the next series of chapters from The Golden Compass, and it ends with one of the most affecting reveals that I've ever read. Discovering what a severed child really is was simply an utter shock to me as a youngling, and I was pleased that Owen was similarly affected by it (although he doesn't emote as much as me. I'm basically an emote machine).

Of course there's also the interesting bits that we learn about The North, meeting Iorek, the witches, and Lee Scoresby. And there the creepy clockwork beetle that's sent to inform on/kill Lyra, which seriously terrified me when I first read about them (and continue to freak me out the more I think about them). 

I hope that you really enjoy this episode, and I will see you Monday with another Broad-Cast!
