Relda accent check: still pretty strong but I feel like it's slightly toned down from book 2. Also /definitely/ confirmed she is German, we finally get her and Basil's story here. Snow's voice is still awful, I have no hope for it

Anyway, don't you hate it when

your estranged uncle comes into town and gets you hooked on magic crack? Gotta love a magic-as-a-metaphor-for-addiction plotline

This is one if my favourites and where everything really starts to pick up. It's just so fun, and at this point you know the characters and the world pretty well and everything just *works*. Ngl though those 2000s fat jokes really are something, I feel like you wouldn't really see that today
