The Queens crack open the second book of the Earthsea Cycle and are introduced to a new set of characters on a new island. As we explore our new setting, Queen Marissa is intrigued by rituals and disturbed by a father's love or lack there of. Queen Tay wants clarification on the structure of a particular item and both Queens have the same incorrect mental image of the Undertomb. Don't let go of the wall as we navigate The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin, book two of the Earthsea Series.
The Queens wrap up this episode with a game of Build-a-Labyrinth where Tay and Marissa describe what their personal labyrinths would be like, before giving their best and worst character rankings.
