Wow, so much energy in a single finale!! Excited to hear there's potentially more to this epic story. Fingers crossed that season 3 drops soon. .

Fantastic podcast, characters and the world they inhabit feel slightly familiar but also completely new. The story blends folk tales, ancient myths, superstitions and religious beliefs from around the world with the main characters also coming from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. My only complaint is the constantly changing sound levels. Conversation decreases to a whisper mid sentence, fighting becomes almost deafening out of nowhere. I spent the entire podcast trying to find a sound level that worked for more than one or two eps. Not sure if it was my device or the actual podcast. Regardless, I'd still recommend this, it's a great listen.

by the way, if you're in the queer audio drama sphere but looking for a show that centers culture and POC desperado is the one for you. it's a hidden gem, and more people need to be listening. each character who gets a names has a surprising amount of depth and initiative, the lore and world building are crafted like nothing else I've seen, and the sound editing will have you itching for more explosions, no matter the consequences. My favorite podcast, I highly recommend.

Amazing podcast! Very interesting characters, and I love the way they tell their story together. Great queer & poc rep! Definitely one of my new faves💜

Interesting so far; ancient gods from forgotten religions, a modern world where people have 'super' powers, interesting origin stories and flawed heroes, plus a person with retractable wings! Looking forward to hearing more and am hoping this podcast doesn't start strong and then just fade away like so many others I've listened to.🤞
