In this next installation of Chelsea and Taryn's reread of the Throne of Glass series, they decided to mix things up moving forward. Being so late into the series, they did away with spoiler free section (hopefully at book 5 of the series it's obvious both of the hosts love these books) and also decided to split this book into a two parter. Part 2 of Empire of Storms will be release in two weeks.

One of Chelsea's best friends, Rachel, joins our hosts this week to review one of her favorite books ever. Based off a Grimms brother fairly tale, The Goose Girl follows a beautiful and lyrical story of Ani as she learns and grows. Our hosts loved this childhood favorite (that was actually new to Chelsea) book and in Rachel's words, "it's just a good story about someone learning who they are and standing up for themselves."
