Welcome back to the Booked on Fantasy Podcast!

In this episode we dive into the highly anticipated 2024 Wicked movie adaptation! We explore the dazzling world of Oz, where two unlikely friends—Elphaba and Glinda—struggle to navigate power, loyalty, and identity amidst a kingdom on the brink of change. From the musical’s beloved songs to the new cinematic visuals, we discuss what worked, what surprised us, and how this film adaptation compares to the stage production. Tune in as we share our favorite moments, quotes, and predictions for what’s to come in the Wicked saga.

In today’s episode, we kick things off with a brief synopsis of the Wicked movie, followed by a discussion of the clever Easter eggs inspired by The Wizard of Oz. We dive into character analysis, share what we loved (and didn’t love) about the film, and wrap up with our overall rating.

*This episode WILL contain spoilers for Wicked Part One

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! Today we are diving into the untitled bonus scene from Heir of Fire. This extra scene takes place within the events of chapter 45 of Heir of Fire. However, we are analyzing it from a post HOF perspective. This scene follows a visit from some fae nobility who stop in Mistward for a night on their way to Doranelle. Let's just say things get heated between both Aelin and Rowan and Aelin and the visitors.

This set of chapters was 1 part uplifting (ha, get it?) and 3 parts horrifying discovery, and we are not okay!

All that and more on today's episode!
