What We Wrote

It's a Cori chapter, so you know what that means! It's Rhetorical Question time! We do away with the plot as quickly as we can and move on to more fun and dramatic things, like kissing boys and going to the tavern to meet long lost fathers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us this week as we talk about the wonderful book that is the Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by Emma's favourite author V.E. Schwab. You'll notice this episode is shorter than our other book review episodes because there's only so many ways you can say 'It's amazing!' before it starts getting old. Esme makes a half hearted attempt to play devil's advocate, but largely the votes are in. Note: W...

This week, things are heating up (again.). Kayne tries in vain to defend himself to Vari, and we are once more thrown in to this very battle heavy cold war. We also learn how NOT to triage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we have plot development, thank god. Does it have anything to do with the war we've been dancing around since the beginning of the book? Of course not! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Woo, another Bonus episode! This week we are discussing the final installment in the Letters of Enchantment Duology by Rebecca Rosss, Ruthless Vows. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rinse and repeat. Why come up with new ideas when you can have your characters have the same conversation over and over and over and over and over... So much so that we spend several minutes discussing what happened to the sheath of Vari's dagger. Believe it or not, that's probably the most exciting part of the episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You could definitely skip this chapter, but you definitely shouldn't skip this episode. Because while absolutely nothing of note happens in Cori's chapter, your hosts Emma and Esme are delightful. They fill the empty void that is this chapter with some introspection on writing and troubles with progressing plot. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Vari takes a hit and we knuckle down on our miscommunication trope. Everyone's favourite trope! There is also a fleeting mention of the war. TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of sexual assault Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a Bonus Episode y'all! This week, we're starting our Trope Talk - and first off we're talking about the ultimate classic Enemies to Lovers. Join us as we chat about what we love and hate about this trope, our favourite examples and tips on how to write a successful Enemies to Lovers trope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Grab your scarves and make yourself a hot chocolate, because it's getting cold! (Don't worry, you won't forget it, Cori will make sure of that.) This week, Cori travels further from the keep than she's ever been. You also may witness one of the earliest disagreements Emma and Esme have ever had in their writing career together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Were you worried that you'd miss the end of the riveting conversation between Cori, Vari and Bran? Well don't worry, we pick up exactly where we left off! Vari finally bends to Cori's incessant begging and decides they are friends. Vari then gets (another) job, making her the street rat with the most impressive resume in the city. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we do away with the semblance of plot we had scratched together last week and instead drown in mundane conversations about who likes who, a la babysitter's club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You may have waited a little longer for this episode to come out, but you weren't waiting for this for as long as you've been waiting for the plot to happen in this book. Never fear, it looks like something is here! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Cori Wants a Friend, follow her once more as she aimlessly wanders around the castle and decides that she doesn't care if Vari and Bran can't stand her, she's going to be their friend anyway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we get more of Vari's backstory, just what you've all been waiting for! We get down to the real nitty-gritty, like how old can you be if you're a boat boy, and what is the chain of ownership on a ship? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Strap in and tape your eye lids open, because you are in for the world's most boring chapter! Join Cori as she wanders around the city, eating bread and asking endless rhetorical questions only to complete bypass any form of reasonable conclusion! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we continue our dive into one of the most popular romantasy series out there. Do we love Rhys? Absolutely yes. Did we love this book? Well... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Buckle in and hold on to your butts, cos this is a long one. Is it exciting? Maybe. Do things happen? Sure. Do what we did and just rip it off like a Band-Aid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us for another chapter of awkward girlbonding at the ball that neither of us cared to write about! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You bet your bottom dollar we went and read Onyx storm as fast as we could so that we could get this episode out. So fast that we forgot to do our usual 'Talk to us!' spiel at the end. So for those of you that don't know, you can email us at whatwrotepod @ gmail.com, or you can find us on any number of social medias including and pretty well limited to facebook, instagram, tiktok and tumblr with t...

Join us this week as we follow Vari along every single step to... absolutely nowhere, if we're being honest. But we do meet Kayne, a hunky knight of the realm. Also, Penny features heavily in this episode. She was in dire need of cuddles. We make no apologies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Finally, our two main characters are actually spending time together? Wait... maybe a little too much time together... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Were you interested to hear about Vari's week working at the stables? Maybe she enjoys the work. Maybe she and Cori spend some time together and get to know each other. You would expect that, what with them being the main characters and all. And yet... Content warning: mentions and depictions of sexual assault - what a fantasy trope to jump on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more infor...

In honour of Onyx Storm being released this week, we're talking all about Iron Flame! Refresh your memory on what happened with us! Be warned, this has ALL the spoilers in it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
