Teaching My Cat To Read: The “very serious” Book Review Podcast

This week, we’re talking about Abhorsen by Garth Nix. Join us for a discussion of character growth, using metaphorical molotov cocktails to exchange one problem for another, and - of course - what the cat would think of it all.

NB: This is the third in The Old Kingdom Series, after Sabriel and Lirael. We’ve read both of these books before! See series 1 episode 4 and episode 22.
