452 pages, 2 blood whips, and one StagLord later, we have finished SHADOW MOON by George Lucas and Chris Claremont. Much like Thorn/Willow, we are now very tired. Unlike our protagonist, we've been lying on the floor for three hours now (being tired) but it has not yet granted us permission to enter.

There's a ton to talk about in this last episode, but we'll get ahead of your questions: yes we discuss Burglekutt the beet farmer. We'll also encounter every animal in existence inside a volcano, which is the sort of thing that sounds awesome if it wasn't in a book by George Lucas or Chris Claremont. Animals the plump sacred princess gets compared to in this section: A monkey, a ferret, and a raccoon. None of those are meant as compliments. 

Thank you so much for taking this journey with us! We'll be back with a mailbag (still time to send us your final thoughts) and a new title, and you'll be the first to hear about it right here!

I would like to defend Conor, as he pronounced "Luray Caverns" as "LOOray". My great grandmother lived in Luray and there was only one way to say it. Most people say "luhrAY", and a part of me dies. God bless her outhouse and lack of running water, Luray has some interesting memories.

I finally had to become a patron so I could say I'm another one who read the whole book. I got it from the library, so I plowed through it in a couple weeks when they announced it. I seemed to have an easier time with it than Mike and Conor did, probably because I've read a lot of fantasy, and you kind of learn to gloss over descriptions of undescribable things. But it's a very tough read. None of the action or physical surroundings are described well, so I rarely had a good picture of what was going on. You *can* have magical psychic battles and huge unnatural storms and such things without being incomprehensible, as better authors have shown. Here there were lots of "Wait, what's going on?" moments. It's too bad, because there's kind of a kernel of an interesting idea in it. I still think Claremont was already working on a sort of Mad Max/fantasy mashup, with a wizard wandering a magically-nuked wasteland and going on a quest to restore the world, and then Lucas paid him to shoehorn Willow into it. That concept intrigued me enough at the beginning to consider reading the rest of the series, but I think I'll pass. The bottom line is it's just too unpleasant. I think I'll re-read the Thomas Covenant books again instead; that series about an anti-hero leper looks like sunshine compared to this.
