It's time to escape the Tombs of Atuan... and not a moment too soon. Queens Tay and Marissa watch the darkness as our two characters navigate the underground. Queen Marissa wonders whether Sparrowhawk is speaking metaphorically or literally, Queen Tay has science questions she needs answered, and they both wish they could hug our main characters. Dim your lights and join us as we finish traversing in the dark, closing out the final chapter of The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin, book two of the Earthsea Series.

The Queens wrap up this episode with their book reviews, followed by a classic Queens of Fantasy game of "It's Giving." They end it off by giving their best and worst character rankings.
