Book therapy is officially in session. 🖤

In this episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenz break down chapters 61–75 of The Ashes & The Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent. Let’s just say, feelings were felt.

For Whitney, this stretch was all about the depth and devotion between Raihn and Oraya. That quiet, intimate night before the final battle. The vulnerability. The tenderness. The romance woven through looming destruction. She was swooning, spiraling, and fully unwell (in the best way). For Kenzie, the emotional gut punch came from Vincent. Learning more about his heart, his choices, and the weight he carried hit differently. Especially through the lens of parenthood. Complex characters? Moral grayness? Redemption arcs that hurt? She’s in.

Of course, Septimus Watch continues (because we never rest), we take a moment to express some very heartfelt gratitude to a certain character, and Whitney shares her current obsession with Sleep Token. And if you’ve read the entire Crowns of Nyaxia series, do not skip Spoiler Central. We’re making big-picture connections with Nyaxia, Acaeja, and everyone in between.

This week’s affirmation is from Raihn: We Go Down Fighting. Print it out and hang it on your mirror! 

✨ Come for the recap. Stay for the emotional unraveling.
