Clovers, It's time to unpick the plot threads of The Black Bird Oracle -- the obvious, the not so obvious, the compelling, and the unfinished. In this episode, we're talking about narrative questions, narrative and narrator choices, and the impact of TBBO on the rest of what we know about the All Souls Universe. Thanks for joining us for TBBO -- it's been fun. If there's another book in the All Souls Universe, would you want us to (a) read it ahead of time (like we did with ADoW/SoN/BoL/TC); (b) read as we record (TBBO); or (c) one of us reads and the other doesn't? Let us know at <a href= "mailto:chamomileandclovecast@gmail.com">chamomileandclovecast@gmail.com</a>. Take care of each other, Cait & Jen

Chamomile & Clove - An All Souls Podcast - Episode 135 - DefCon Exorcism

Well, well, well, Look at us! We made it to the end of The Black Bird Oracle! We're doing wrap episodes! Welcome to the first of two book-wrap discussion episodes for The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness. In this episode, we will be discussing characters, antagonists and protagonists, character arcs, themes, devices, and symbols. Also, what's going on with birds? Yes we do have a mellow (by our standards) discussion of time. I promise that you won't need prophylactic headache management. xoxo Jen

Chamomile & Clove - An All Souls Podcast - Episode 134 - Everything Is Time

Happy Sunday, Clovers. So pleased to be with you again. In this episode, we're covering Chapters 24-27 of The Black Bird Oracle. We've reached the end of the story... or have we? In this episode, we're talking about Diana's moral compass, antagonists, putting our protagonist in time out, what TBBO has to say about Higher Magic/Light and Shadow (we aren't entirely sure, guys), that damned creepy-ass doll, and whether the shape of the plot is any clearer at the end of the book. xoxo Cait and Jen

Chamomile & Clove - An All Souls Podcast - Episode 133 - An Average Bonanza

Clovers, Happy Sunday! Welcome back to our discussion of The Black Bird Oracle. We made it to Venice (what), used Ysabeau as a distraction (smart), and conducted a teensy witch heist (wait, again?), but we still haven't quite met the antagonist for this book... or have we? In this episode, we're talking about Diana's character arc (...flatter than we expected?), her moral compass (wobbly), and the possibilities left by the last two chapters in this book. Thanks for joining us! xoxox, Cait and Jen

Chamomile & Clove - An All Souls Podcast - Episode 132 - Didi Grabbyfingers

Clovers, We have made it to part 3, or should we say book 3(?) of The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness. Things are happening fast and we have a plot to finish. Join us as we discuss family trauma, descriptions of teaching magic, use of kids in stories, favorite theories from the trilogy, and Diana's emotional intelligence (or lack thereof). xoxo Jen
