Welcome back to The Plot Hoes podcast! We're digging into Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas in the Throne of Glass series.

Spoilers for the series up to this book, references to ACOTAR and Crescent City, and skip the minute of 33-34 if you're still hoping to experience Game of Thrones without spoilers a decade later.

Megan is reading this series for the first time, with the sage guidance of Samantha who is reading along for her 3rd (or 4th?) time. We clear up some confusion resulting from Megan remembering what she wants and blocking out all of the other "minor details."

We talk about our love for the newly introduced characters, which includes Rowan with a haircut. We know that Samantha likes Lorcan, but that's not quite a spoiler about where he lands.

We continue to love the characters that have been with us from the beginning. Dorian "I'll bleed whatever color you tell me to," does live up to the hype.

Megan is very confused about how there are 3 very large books left in the series, when this one so perfectly sets up their happily ever afters.

Next up is the Empire of Storms/ Tower of Dawn tandem read! If you're reading them individually as intended, be sure to finish both before listening to the next episode. Follow along @ThePlotHoes on TikTok and @The.PlotHoes
