Kendall and Jess discuss the highly-anticipated fourth novel in the Blood and Ash Series: The War of Two Queens, by Jennifer L. Armentrout. They are digging in on this continuation of one of the most popular fantasy series right now and all of the insane drama surrounding its release. Listen to find out what they really think about ~the thing~ that everyone has been up-in-arms about. They both agree that this book had to come after reading A Shadow in the Ember, or a lot of the plot would be very confusing for readers. Kendall is still in love with Casteel and Jess is still in love with her man Kieran, however a certain draken could steal some of Jess's attention away from her main squeeze! Tune in next week for a change of pace, with an episode on It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover.

Kendall and Jess discuss the first book in the Flesh and Fire series: A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Readers get a much-needed history lesson for the Blood and Ash series in this equally intriguing fantasy novel. Once again, Kendall and Jess are both always here for any kind of death god - it's just hot. They are both feeling much more clear on the events of A Crown of Gilded Bones after reading this one. Jess is very much not into the way a certain Primal god went all emo-sad-boi on Sera when things got tough, but she still loves him and very much loves that he is a ~quick study~. Kendall is loving the dark streak in Sera and appreciates the way she stands up for herself and doesn't take any shit. The ending of this book left them both wanting more! Come back next time for an episode on the much-anticipated fourth book in the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: The War of Two Queens.

Kendall and Jess discuss the second novel in the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas: House of Sky and Breath. They are both biting their tongues to keep from speculating about every little theory that has come out of this book. Kendall is not happy about one little unnecessary detail pertaining to a certain wolf-boy, and Jess is just ready for the slow burn to end so that Hunt and Bryce can rip each other's clothes off. They are both overwhelmed at the ending of this book and extremely sad that we all likely have to wait at least a year for a new SJM masterpiece. There is so much to unpack in this one and they loved every second of it! Come back next week for an episode on Reminders of Him, by Colleen Hoover.
