Nikolai Lantsov: Ravka’s Many-Named Sovereign

<p>We discuss Nikolai Lantsov – pirate, er, privateer of the True Sea, and also of our hearts. We ask such questions as: Could Nikolai and Alina have been a Thing? What was up with his first proposal either way? Do we see in the King of Scars duology that it’s Nikolai and not Zoya who is the anti-Darkling? Is Nikolai <em>actually</em> a good leader? And of course: How far would Anjali really go to get a glimpse of that Lantsov emerald?</p><p>Spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology, and the King of Scars duology. Vague mentions of season one of the Shadow and Bone Netflix show.</p>
