Happy, happy Wednesday and welcome back to another episode of The 5 O'Clock Book Club.

This week we read SenLinYu's debut novel, Alchemised. This book has been long-awaited, it has broken records, and it is SO good. Alchemised is an adapted version of an online work by the same author called Manacled, which was originally written as a work of Harry Potter fan fiction. Don't let this turn you off, though; this is no Master-of-the-Universe-turned-50-Shades-of-Grey. Alchemised is a work of art, it is surprising and emotionally devastating in the best possible way.

Get comfy and pour up a drink (or two, this one's a long one) and enjoy the episode!!

Next episode: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley (probably lol)

Love ya,

-Em and SK <3
