It's time for Threshing Day, cadets! Join hosts Kinsey and Karly for a major spiral session over the recent release of Threshing Day, book 3.5 in the Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros. This episode was filmed just moments after finishing the novella.

The hosts react to new lore drops and share their unhinged first reactions to the recent Empyrean book – including many, many tears. They discuss their favorite moments and POVs, break down the most surprising and emotional scenes, theorize for Empyrean 4 (and who the "Brother" is), and more! You won't want to miss their thoughts on certain characters, and which scenes and POVs they think are most important for what's to come.

This is part of our Season 3 Fourth Wing Deep-dive Topics! Listeners can expect discussions on specific Empyrean topics, deep-dive breakdowns, Empyrean lore theories, and discussions on favorite moments that make you feel like part of a virtual book club with your besties; except we do all the homework for you, and you can sit back and enjoy the chaos! After the recent release of Threshing Day, we have plans for a more in-depth theories episode, as well as deep-dive breakdowns of each character point of view.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode includes spoilers for Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas

ADDENDUM: Kinsey misspoke in the Ashryver family tree portion of this episode. Aelin's and Aedion's mothers are related as cousins and not sisters, so Aelin and Aedion are first cousins once removed instead of first cousins, but they still refer to each other as "cousins."
