We Know How to Read

We are finally getting into the plot - sort of. Bryce is finally meeting our main squeeze Hunt again for a round of sarcastic remarks, forced proximity, and bodyguard trope. All things we are here for! As well as some brother-sister bond happening - maybe. We are just here for Ruhn Dann Valbaran Price of the High Fae. BUT the mystery continues to unfold and we are discovering more crumbles to this...

We are starting the final series, Crescent City House of Earth and Blood by the one and only Sarah J Maas!!! Follow along with this four-part episode as we dive into the final duology before all Hel breaks loose come this January. These two novels are breaking us down and we are so excited for our End Game theories episode BUT first let's wade through the world-building for an epic murder mystery...

We have made it! Now to talk theories! There are minor Crescent City and Major Throne of Glass spoilers in this episode but we mostly keep it to ACOTAR. Think "where are they now" episode. Our predictions for all the main players in the SJM universe. 

The Bloodrite has begun, Feyre is dying, and Nesta is trying to save the ones she loves! Sarah J Maas is notorious for her final acts and boy is this one an epic go-out! Megan and Natalie blow through this action-packed ending with a level of silliness and chaos that only Sarah can cause in us. Can you keep up with our chaos??

Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn are improving and bonding through training. Nesta is growing more confident in herself and taking on more roles in the Night Court particularly the one to discover more information about Eris, the human queen Braillyn, the final item of the trove, and more. Cassian as always is being a support partner, for the most part. With tension building in every direction, all the plo...

Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance and healing in each other's arms. Nesta is battling her demons and has been assigned the task to find cauldron-made items but along the way, she begins to build bonds with Gwyn, a fae siren, and Emerie a female Illyrian. 

With the Inner Circle experiencing true peace and happiness for the first time Sarah J Maas takes on an alternative story featuring our smut reading, the brutally honest, goddess of death: Nesta Archeron. Megan and Natalie would like EVERYONE to know we do NOT hate Nesta we think SJM rushed her story and she deserves at least 2 novels to tell her badass healing Valkyrie story so unlike Sarah here...

We have made it to the novella of all things sweet, happy, and a little more! We agree that this novella truly sets up the next wave of Sarah's A Court of blank and blank with a whole new crew of characters coming forward to have their story told BUT we cant overlook our love for the annual snowball fight, Feyre, Cassian, and Azriel decorating, Elaine and Feyre having a moment. All so sweet in fro...

Megan and Natalie are so hyped about this section of AOCWAR. Feyre is beyond epic! Cassian and Azriel are just *chefs kiss* Everything, everything! Like we think this section of AOCWAR might be better than chapter 55 (this might only be Natalie's opinion) As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers...

Megan and Natalie are going to war in the third book of the epic romantic fantasy A Court of Wings and Ruin. We unanimously agree Feyre is a badass, Ianthe is a bitch, Tamlin is a dick, and Lucien deserves more. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But...

"When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you will find that the darkness begins to stare back." -Feyre This EPIC finale to the fan-loved, the chosen one, the superior novel in the ACOTAR series. Did you see that coming?! Because sure didn't! Feyre and Rhysand are up to no good but Tamlin is up to something way worse! This book had everything you could want in a novel and more! 

The plot keeps thickening and thickening and Megan and Natalie can't stop eating it up with a spoon! We continue to obsess over Feyre's growth and magic in these chapters. As well as all the new characters Sarah has brought to the table. Feyre might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her futur...

This novel is such a deep pool of amazing moments that we can't not stop and talk about every single detail with you guys. We continue our journey with Feyre as her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in t...

Natalie and Megan have made it to what many claim Sarah's best book or the fan favorite in all her writing. Debatable but for sure in our top 3 SJM books of all time. We are starting off we are with Feyre, she has been made new again and in the Spring Court after many months of trama Under the Mountain. Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she's now b...

Probably the most epic moments of this series is Under the Mountain. Megan and Natalie go through the trials, riddles, and banter of the final part of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Like most people, this novel leaves off with the expectation for so much more to happen in Feyre's story. The journey continues next week with our episode of ACOMAF.

We are physically unable at this point to turn an SJM book into a single episode. There are just so many details! Plus Megan and Natalie are going in with a new set of eyes, looking, searching for clues to the Avenger-esque lead-up. As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told abou...

We have finally made it to the book that started it all well that being our podcast. A Court of Thorns and Roses has had everyone in an absolute chokehold for years now and we are getting into it! When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discov...

Megan and Natalie have finished Throne of Glass and are diving into theories this week. We tried our best to keep it straight to TOG but no promises. If you haven't read ACOTAR stop and go read it now! Its been a wild ride through this 1/3 of Sarah J Maas works. How many of our unhinged fan theories are right??

To whatever end. Megan and Natalie have made it to the final saga of the Throne of Glass series. Kingdom of Ash, 998 pages of highs and lows. We laughed, we cheered, we cried, we loved, and we lose. This will be a three-part episode to just barely scratch the surface of this epic fantasy finale. The Queen has returned to Terrasen to fight Earwan and Mauve on the final battlefield surrounded by fri...

This book literally is everything and this part two episode proves it! At this point, it is ALL rising action and we can't get enough of Empire of Storms especially, Fireheart!
