Baghra: What’s Her Deal, Anyway?

We discuss Baghra, the Darkling’s mother. We ask such questions as: What can we learn about amplifiers from how Alina reacts to Baghra? What’s up with her teaching style? What happened to make her change so much in the last 500-or-so years? And, of course: How did we manage to record this whole episode without even mentioning the Baghra-Baba Yaga connection??

Contains spoilers for the Netflix Shadow and Bone show, the Shadow and Bone trilogy, The Demon in the Woods, The Language of Thorns, and the occasional reference to Rule of Wolves.
