Book Dragon Banter
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me Read-Along: Two Boots and a Sword (Ch. 15–17) In this Book Dragon Banter read-along episode, Zinzi Bree, Sage, and Katherine discuss chapters 15–17 of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews, shifting format to prioritize discussion over a detailed recap. They break down Maggie’s troupe’s tightly orchestrated gray iron barrel heist at the docks, including distractions, lighting, and Reynald’s strategic planning. The group unpacks Maggie’s reveal that Filderan intentionally set up 80 mercenaries to die, making the Magnars’ plan to kill him feel more justified, and they debate how fantasy makes protagonist violence palatable. The episode ends with predictions about upcoming plot turns and reading homework: chapters 18–22 only.
