Booked On Fantasy Podcast

Welcome back for another episode of the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! This episode is a very special episode for us because it marks the beginning of our official Empyrean series coverage!

This is a bonus episode because a very exciting excerpt from the soon to be released sequel to Iron Flame, Onyx Storm, by Rebecca Yarros was dropped in Cosmopolitan Magazine's Winter 2024 edition. You can access the magazine and excerpt titled, "Hotter than Dragonfire," through Kindle Unlimited, or the Libby app. If you are unable to access it that way here is a link: "HOTTER THAN DRAGONFIRE"

This episode will follow a slightly altered format because it is only an excerpt, but it will include a brief recap of the end of Iron Flame, an in depth analysis of key events, and our favorite moments from this excerpt.

Normally we are a spoiler free podcast, but Lorraine and I have both read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and this episode WILL include spoilers for the entire series.

Welcome back for another episode of the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! We continue this week with Heir of Fire chapters 40-43.

To our surprise and delight this set of chapters turned out to be an emotional roller coaster ride. We laughed, we cried, and ultimately ended feeling hopeful about what the promise of tomorrow would bring for our beloved characters.

In Rifthold, Chaol’s allegiance is questioned by both Dorian and Aedion. Though he makes it clear he will stand with whatever Dorian decides, will it be enough? Meanwhile, Celaena and Rowan test the boundaries of her abilities at the Beltane celebration which leads to near burnout, a deepening of their relationship, and a major shift in Celaena’s self perception and skills.

We looked forward to the many more episodes to come. Today we officially kick off part 2 of Heir of Fire, as we continue with chapters 36-39.

Chaol and Aedion hatch a plan to get information from recently returned Adarlanian soldiers. Using a clever drinking game, they meet Commander Jensen, a solider recently returned from Noll, which is home a to a mysterious black stone tower. Meanwhile, Manon embarks on a side quest to get spidersilk from the mythical Stygian spiders. Most people have to bargain for this priceless material, but not Manon. With the help of Abraxos she manages to flee with her life and the spidersilk. Celaena and Rowan have a much needed tattoo therapy session where she discloses more about her past than she’s ever shared with anyone. Their conversation makes it clear their relationship has turned the corner for the better, at least we hope.

Welcome back to the Booked on Fantasy Podcast! Today we are covering Heir of Fire chapters 31-35, completing part one! 

Manon finally gets airborne with our cat reincarnated wyvern, Abraxos, who would much rather sniff flowers than risk his life flying. But once airborne for the first time, his joy was undeniable.

Back in Mistward, Celaena finally tries to befriend Rowan and snoop a little bit, only to be cruelly shut down. Fortunately, there was no time to stay enemies because a training session gone wrong led to the discovery of a giant hangry ancient creature. Upon arriving back to the fortress Emrys, ever the emotionally intelligent father figure, gets everyone to come together with a home cooked meal and gives them a stern but loving talk.

Manon is a crazy scary witch, but it turns out she has carved out a tiny soft spot for her BB wyvern, Abraxos. Manon makes some special modifications ensuring he will be well equipped to lead and fight, while the rest of the witches prepare themselves for the upcoming war games. Back in Rifthold, Chaol and Aedion discuss the details regarding the day magic disappeared, while Dorian gives Sorscha a smooch for figuring out a way to stifle his magic. Over in Mistward, Celaena and Rowan investigate another dead body, and she recalls how the smell of the body was distinctly similar to the odor she detected at the barrows and the night her parents died.

Chaol finally discovers what the big deali-o is with Aedion, and consequently enters into a partnership - information about Aelin for information about the king’s magic. Meanwhile Dorian has been getting close with the healer, Sorscha, and ends up unintentionally revealing his magic to her. She promises his secret is safe and that she will help him find a way to subdue his magic. Back in Mistward, Celaena has still not mastered how to shift, but a frightening encounter with some skinwalkers forces her to do so.
