The Pagers sign off (for the time being) with a personal retrospective of how this project has changed their lives. We also take questions from the listeners who joined us for the live stream, read the final mail from the Mailbag, and let everyone know what's coming next. Outro music: Since You Been Gone by Rainbow
It’s the end. We scramble to have the last word. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri rests atop the roofs, waiting for her friend. We talk about what Nate Taylor’s illustration process might be, the odd perspective in the picture, and what the illustration does with time. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri thinks of what she’ll do for Kvothe. We talk about the sinister turn these thoughts might be taking, uncover what might be a new crackpot theory, and question what Auri’s knowledge of the Ciridae might mean. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Inspired by an action figure, Auri goes to put her face on. We ship an all-time bad episode as we fail to remember anything about the proceeding books and try to talk about what Kvothe thinks of Auris’ gifts, who else Auri hangs with, the real-world history of cosmetics, and where Auri goes to poop. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Page 145: Sorrel To Bother You by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large
Vi and Dane have a tense discussion. As we move into the second act, we talk about how Dane sucks, the anticipation we’ve all been feeling about this moment, and how important it is for your protagonist to not always have a perfect plan for everything. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri discourses on her knowledge of the true nature of things. We talk about how magical this page feels, and on the precise nature of that magic (despite technology crapping out!). We also talk about clever wordplay, and the relationships between different kinds of science and different kinds of magic. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri debates doing something drastic to get this candle made. We open with our most sizzling open of all time, before discussing the nature of the moon as it relates to alchemy, how Rothfuss tantalizes us with the details (and lack thereof) of alchemy, and what Auri’s relationship with Mandrag can tell us about the timeline of events. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri assembles a series of perfect ingredients for her craft. We talk about how Auri seems to be the only one who gets Kvothe, how Auri seems to be ok doing things for something else, and the terror of the Tiger Bomb. pageofthewind.com If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri does the worst thing imaginable: some math. We talk about the eponymous “wickless”, the out-of-order illustrations, and learn an awful lot about the properties of laurel fruit. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
We get a detailed inventory of what’s in Boundary. We talk about how Auri perceives her old lab, what a circtangular shape might be, why Auri’s lab would be so remote, and waste a fair bit of time talking about Severance.

End of Book Livestream Announcement! by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large
Auri heads back to Boundary. We talk about applying unguents, the origin of the Bunsen Burner, the mysterious story behind the mysterious lab, and some of the fantastical anachronisms we’ve encountered in the read.

Auri decides to make Kvothe a candle. We talk about laurels, Jeremy learns a crazy fact about olives (nature’s most delicious fruit), and the rule of threes being acknowledged in the story. Also, rest assured that Nick will be severely punished for juggling his microphone throughout the episode. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri sets the room up for Kvothe to stay, should he need. We talk about the illustrated book of secrets, how this page foreshadows something that MUST pay off in Doors of Stone, and then we dispense some more unforgettable makeout advice. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri starts to resolve some long-simmering problems in her environment - but to what end? We talk about the logic Auri is using to justify the choices and actions she takes on this page, the promise of sleepovers, and how we used to be a proper country. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri begins to set her whole environment to rights, placing the threes where they must go. We talk about the weight of secrets, tantalization, and deliver a very special message to you, the listener. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri figures out everything and realises she’s made a scheduling error. We continue to bang as we talk about Auri’s Jordana logic, assess the strange scheduling communication from Wise Man’s Fear, and Jordana enters the mind palace in order to determine when Book 3 will arrive. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri laments her mistake… or does she?. We finish our talk about modern film trailers before talking about numerology, the significance of the moon’s appearance, and Auri’s instinct to blame herself. Content warning: at about 10:30 we discuss the page’s implied sexual assault. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Jordana is back as Auri’s mind wanders and she takes a bad fall. Jordana clears up her whereabouts while we talk about the Parable of the Monk’s Cup, the wider strategy of making us care about a character before destroying them, Fulcrum’s characterisation of having jumped away from Auri, and come up with a new theory about when poetry shows up in the prose. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri travels to the city-covered planet that forms the core of the Galactic Empire, known also as Imperial Center. We talk about the real-life definition of the planet’s name, the dread of calamity since we know what’s coming next, and complain about bathroom attendants in fancy washrooms. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri wracks her brain trying to decide what to give to Kvothe when he visits, then takes Fulcrum on a walk. We talk about what Jordana might be up to, why Auri considers a bottle for Kvothe, and recite the rhymes on the page. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri continues to wend her way. We are baffled by the strange disappearance of Jordana, who failed to arrive at the appointed recording time. We look for clues, list the suspects, and throw wild accusations. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri discovers a shaft up to the surface world. We talk about similarities between this scene and the movie Us, the unreliability of memory when it comes to what’s important in a work of fiction, and the importance of Hansel and Gretel.

Page 127: A Pleasure to Have in Class, Innit? by Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large
Auri eats some pretty mid pea soup. We talk about the phrase “to a tee”, the wordplay in how Auri names things in the underthing, and give Jordana some advice.
Auri gets some peas. Nick enters a new phase, we emphatically *don’t* speculate about Auri’s deep dark fears, and husbanding peas.

Auri tries to decide what to do with her most perfect soap. We talk about why it’s kissing soap, hunger pangs, and Jordana puts forth the theory of the Costco Effect.

Page 123: Hot Tub Temerant Machine Auri wakes up in a good mood. We discuss the meaning of a waxing day, our disenchantment with Matt Groening’s Disenchantment, and we debate the finer points of Auri’s worldview - why is it okay to wake up late sometimes? Finally, Jordana comes up with a good business idea. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
