Kendall and Jess discuss book 1 in The Bridge Kingdom series by Danielle L. Jensen: The Bridge Kingdom. Jess was so caught off-guard by that intense introductory scene that she had to read it twice! Kendall was very pleasantly surprised by this book even though she read it blind and had no real expectations. They both agree that this world does not seem like a chill fun time and they'd rather live in a different fictional universe, thank you. Listen to find out what they thought of our two main characters and how their story unfolded. Don't forget to tune in next time for book 2 in this series: The Traitor Queen.

Kendall & Jess discuss the new adult fantasy novel by Holly Black: Book of Night. They can't all be favorites, and this one just missed the mark for them. They dish their feelings on the main characters and the magic system introduced in this book, and they also touch on their thoughts about the very popular The Cruel Prince series. Jess was very unimpressed about our main romance, and Kendall was frustrated at how long it took her to wade through this one. Tune in next time for an episode on The Bridge Kingdom, by Danielle L. Jensen.

Kendall and Jess discuss the fourth book in the Shadows and Crowns series by S.M. Gaither: A Crown of the Gods. This is one of their favorite series, so there's a lot to unpack here. They were left with a lot of questions after the last book, so they chat about how those unfolded and the new questions they were left with after this crazy cliffhanger - in true Gaither style. Jess is very happy with the spicy scenes in this one, and Kendall is still reeling from trying to figure out which characters can be trusted in this world! They are both left more than excited to find out how this story is going to shake out, and who may or may not be left standing in the end. Tune in next episode for a conversation on one very polarizing new read: Book of Night by Holly Black.

Kendall and Jess discuss the book and tv adaptation of The Summer I Turned Pretty, by Jenny Han. Jess opted not to read this one, so Kendall's working overtime not to spoil the second and third books in this series. Can you guess whether they're Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? Kendall is completely shook by the huge differences between the show and the books, and Jess is having flashbacks to an old relationship from the actor who plays Conrad. Tune in to see if Kendall was able to convince Jess to dive into reading this YA love triangle by the end! Join us next episode for the fourth book in the Shadows and Crowns series, by S.M. Gaither: A Crown of the Gods.

Kendall and Jess dive into the world(s) of Sarah J. Maas and discuss all the theories and speculation they can think of after having read House of Sky and Breath! Beware - this episode contains spoilers for every series SJM has written, so proceed with caution. Kendall talks about the one big theory she had that was immediately proven true with CC2, and Jess responds to one of the most unhinged theories they've heard to date. They are both beyond excited to see where this author takes these stories from here. 

Thanks for listening to season 2 of Talk Fiction To Me. We will be back later this year with Season 3!

Kendall and Jess discuss the final season of the tv adaption of A Discovery of Witches, by Deborah Harkness. Tune in to hear all of their big feelings about this series finale and whether or not it lives up to their expectations. They are both still fangirling over Domenico, the sexy vampire - even though he's a super morally (dark) gray character. Jess is better at remembering what changes were made between the book and the show, and Kendall feels that we definitely needed a few more episodes to tie things up. 

Thanks so much for listening to season 2 of Talk Fiction To Me! Stay tuned for an upcoming bonus episode where they dive into the world of Sarah J. Maas theories and speculation!

Kendall and Jess discuss one of Colleen Hoover's most popular books, It Ends With Us. With such heavy topics, it was hard to keep it light with this conversation. They both agree that this story was an eye-opening and important one for people who have never been in a situation like Lily's. They are both very anxious to see what comes next in Lily, Ryle, and Atlas's stories when It Starts With Us comes out in October. Listen to hear what their opinions are of the potential casting for the movie adaptation, as well! Come back next week for an episode on theories and speculation for Crescent City 3, by Sarah J. Maas!
