Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

In Episode 155 Kvothe plays a trick and a song at the Eolian.  But the reaction is not what he hoped for, perhaps affecting hs ability to collect coin from the wealthy establishment there.  To make matters worse, Kvothe has been poisoned, causing him to bungle his admissions and achieve his worst tuition yet!  Even after he has collected his various moneys from his artificing, and playing tips, his purse is still a bit light, so back to Devi he must go.  And the Fingers are here for it! We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation about these books, at the end of each episode.  We hope to bring you the best of our own theories and thoughts in the fandom as we move through the series.

In this episode the Fingers kick off their coverage of The Wise Man’s Fear, the second book of The Kingkiller Chronicle, by Patrick Rothfuss.  In what is a bit of a catchup series of chapters, we see the silence of the Inn, the magical illusion Kote has laid upon the civilians of the town that even he can’t overcome, and we reacquaint ourselves with the Eolian as Kvothe tries to make some money for tuition…the same old song and dance! We do have Devi After Dark available again at the end of the episode.  We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation which so many have already spent hours and days laying out in various locations.  We hope to bring you the best of our own theories and thoughts in the fandom as we move through the series.

In the final episode of their coverage of The Name of the Wind, Matt and Scad get to meet a skindancer as the Waystone Inn is attacked, by someone or something that doesn’t seem to know what it is looking for.  We also learn a little bit about Bast’s intentions, get a feel for the (dis)organization of the University Archives, and sink into the loudest and most disruptive silence you can imagine.  We also take plenty of detours as usual and revel in each other’s company. We also have our last Devi After Dark section for The Name of the Wind, where we dive into all sorts of unmentionables.  We are a spoiler free podcast until this section of the podcast, so listen in comfort knowing that we won’t spoil The Wise Man’s Fear for you if you are reading along at our pace.  Speaking of The Wise Man’s Fear, come join us in 6 weeks for the kickoff of the next book in The Kingkiller Chronicle!

In this episode of Davos Fingers covering NINE chapters, Denna gets over her high while Kvothe confronts the rampaging Draccus and offers it some Sympathy before making his way home to the University.  He has many apologies to give and amends to make there, but one consistent thorn in Kvothe’s side learns that sticks and stones may be bad, but Names actually can hurt something fierce.  He also goes up on the horns, again, and is sentenced to a lashing, awarded a small fortune, expelled from the University, promoted to Re’lar, and readmitted to the University in the span of a few minutes.  And lastly, Kvothe finally gathers the courage to ask Auri to show him her home.  It’s a lot of content, and the Fingers enjoyed every minute of it! If you love all the good spoilery bits talked about in the future sections of this book, don’t miss Devi After Dark at the end of the episode where we chat about some of the deeper mysteries in this series.  But if you are reading along for the first time, don’t worry, all spoilers will be avoided until then! We love to hear from our listeners and sometimes even feature their questions on air! So send us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com. We also love to chat about Kvothe and his story on twitter @davosfingers. You can also find us under the same handle on Bluesky or find us and like us on Facebook!

In this Epiosode Matt and Scad follow Kvothe and his sometimes companion Denna as they continue to unravel the mystery of blue flame that Denna saw at Mauthen's Wedding.  It isn't what they think as they are forced to contend with a mythical creature of legend:  A Dragon. Or is it.  Not only that but the creature is on an addiction-riddled hunt for his next fix, and Kvothe and Denna feel like they must stop it.  Inside, the Fingers also unravel the importance of honesty in storytelling, tell some of their own tales, and laugh along at each other as usual! The Davos' Fingers podcast is spoiler free as we tackle The Name of the Wind just as we were during our coverage of ASOIAF.  So sit back and listen comfortably with the knowledge that we will not cover any material in this episode beyond Chapter 78.  At least until our spoiler section at the end, which we lovingly call Devi After Dark.
