Welcome back to another Throne of Glass review! The re-read is now well underway and Chelsea and Taryn wanted to share some of their thought about the stories in The Assassin's Blade. These five short stories introduce some exciting characters that will make (sometimes) dramatic and exciting cameos in future books. We love an author who knows exactly where they want their story to go. If you haven't already listened to their review of the first Throne of Glass book, go do that first! They will wait here for you to get back...

Somehow Taryn roped Chelsea into reading yet another book by one of the Green brothers (the last one for a while we promise, for real this time). Tune in this week as they discuss "An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" and that one time Taryn drove to another state to hear Hank speak.

This Tuesday Tales is a raw, unedited hour of Chelsea and Taryn spewing random ideas for the completely realistic library they are definitely going to build someday. An excellent listen for any fans of total chaos, goals that are so far out of reach you'd have to be deluded to believe them, and super cool imaginary libraries. Listen as these two slightly unhinged women imagine building a library less realistic than the average fantasy book.

In their most unhinged episode yet, Chelsea and Taryn share their review of V.E. Schwab's wonderful "Shades of Magic" series. This is the first episode where Chelsea and Taryn are recording TOGETHER! Since this episode is coming out late, they didn't want to wait any longer to actually edit the episode, so this is just pure and raw friendship. Enjoy, folks.
