Plot Twists & Deep Thoughts

We’re officially diving into A Court of Silver Flames, and bookish friends, we have DEEP THOUGHTS. Nesta Archeron’s healing journey, the tension and connection between Nesta and Cassian, and the Inner Circle’s approach to Nesta’s grief? There is A LOT to unpack and we are not holding back on our opinions. This book brings up some big questions, some uncomfortable truths, and more than a few moment...

War is coming to Prythian, and naturally, we have thoughts. This week, we're diving into A Court of Wings and Ruin, where alliances are tested, secrets are revealed, and the fate of Prythian hangs in the balance. We're talking Feyre's return to the Spring Court, the war with Hybern, the Inner Circle, and all the chaos, heartbreak, and questionable decisions along the way. And then ther...

Things are heating up in part II. After realizing we had way too many thoughts to contain within one episode, we decided to split our original recording into two parts. Last week you saw our discussion on A Court of Thorns & Roses. This week? Welcome to the Night Court. We’re diving into A Court of Mist and Fury to talk about Feyre’s healing journey after her trials, Rhysand, the Inner Circle,...

Come with us back to Prythian…finally. We originally sat down to record both A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury with the intention to keep it all within one episode, but then we started talking... Between the plot points, hot takes, character opinions (looking at you, Mr. Fiddles), and so much more, we quickly realized that we had more thoughts than one episode could reasonab...

We’re getting mystical. Or at least, we’re attempting to. This week, we’re diving into the worlds of astrology & numerology and using birth charts, numbers, and questionable amounts of confidence to psychoanalyze each other. Because apparently knowing someone for 30+ years isn’t enough — now we need the cosmos to weigh in. Are we actually compatible? Are our personalities written in the stars?...

Episode 7 is here and we’re finally diving into The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas! After completing our journey through the Throne of Glass series, we are going back to where Celaena Sardothien’s story began. In this episode, we discuss the five novellas that make up The Assassin’s Blade and take a closer look at the experiences, relationships, losses, and trauma that shaped one of fantasy’s mo...

We’ve made it to the final stretch of our Throne of Glass journey! Before we close out this series with Assassin’s Blade, we’re taking you through Tower of Dawn and The Kingdom of Ash. We are talking about the characters we loved, the choices that drove us mildly insane, the moments that broke our hearts, and some hot takes we’re still not over. We may also discuss Kelsi’s ultimate ToG Bachelor Li...

Between the Stacks takes us inside the places that bring book lovers together—from bookstores and libraries to all kinds of literary spaces. We’ll meet the people behind them, hear their stories, and celebrate the communities they’re building through a shared love of books. Come wander the stacks with us and discover something new. For our first stop Between the Stacks , we’re visiting Sea Dragons...

In this episode of Plot Twists & Deep Thoughts, we decided to take a break and put our Throne of Glass knowledge to the test! We tackle a spelling bee, identify characters and the kingdoms they come from, and defend some hilariously unlikely character pairings. It’s an episode full of fun, laughs, (mostly) friendly competition, and some bookish chaos for all the fans of Sarah J. Maas!

We’re back in Erilea and things are starting to go off the rails, in the books and in our studio. This week’s episode we’re diving into Queen of Shadows and Empire of Storms - breaking down the plots, sharing our hottest takes, debating our favorite characters, and trying our best to stay on topic. It’s a bit unhinged, a bit emotional, but exactly what you’d expect from two life-long best friends...

We definitely bit off more than we could chew with this one. It was our first time reading Throne of Glass , Crown of Midnight , and Heir of Fire , and we somehow thought, "Let's cover all three in one episode." ⚠️ Spoilers ahead! These are our full, unfiltered first impressions of the series. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and go easy on us as we try to untangle...

Welcome to Plot Twists & Deep Thoughts! Our very first episode is officially live - where we’re introducing ourselves, talking about our 32-year-long friendship, discussing our literary love languages and providing clarity on how our lifelong conversations about books has sparked the desire to start this podcast. Expect books, banter, deep thoughts, occasional nonsense, and two best friends wh...

Friendships aren’t supposed to last this long anymore, right? This episode is all about the story behind our decades long friendship - the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the few moments that would’ve ended a lot of other relationships. Through every chapter we’ve remained each other’s safe place, biggest supporter, and occasional voice of reason. Welcome to our friendship lore.
