KINGDOM OF ASH by Sarah J Maas

Tasia and Corinne — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Special guest and benevolant book club overlord, Aubrey, returns to help us wrap up the THRONE OF GLASS series with KINGDOM OF ASH by Sarah J Maas! We talk final arcs, ships, trauma, torture, some more trauma, character deaths, even more trauma, and so much more! I hope y'all like crying, because we do a whole lot of it in this episode.

We've included spoiler sections for all of our THRONE OF GLASS episodes so far, and even though this is the last book in the series, this episode is no exception. If you've read all the books in the expanded Maas universe (ACOTAR and Crescent City), stick around for a spoiler section that will dive into possible connections and implications between those books and these! Don't worry, if you need to bail we'll give you plenty of warning before we wade into spoiler territory.

Stick around til the end where we announce what we have planned for the future, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes!

As always, thanks to Martha Riley for our art and Djempirical for our music. And a big thanks to Aubrey for joining us!

We sit down to discuss THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE - the book of 5 prequel novellas in Sarah J Maas's THRONE OF GLASS series!

THRONE OF GLASS and CROWN OF MIDNIGHT by Sarah J Maas

Tasia and Corinne — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

New year, new huge series project! We begin our coverage of Sarah J Maas's THRONE OF GLASS series with the first two books: THRONE OF GLASS and CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! We talk confident heroines, love triangles, problematic representation, and so much more!

We're approaching this series a little differently than we have other series in the past; following this episode we will (typically) be covering one THRONE OF GLASS book per month, with one non-ToG book thrown in to round out our content -- this way, we get to play in this sandbox a little longer, and we'll have other book coverage out there for those that don't want to take this particular journey with us (though, we highly recommend you do!!). Please also note that we will be including a spoiler section for our ToG episode, so if you're reading along for the first time, you're good to listen to most of the episode - we'll let you know when we're about to wade into spoiler territory.

Stick around til the end where we announce what we're covering in the next couple episodes, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes!

As always, thanks to Martha Riley for our art and Djempirical for our music.
