  • Ep 54 - A Court of Vulgar Gestures - A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

    Book number two in the ACOTAR series was such a doozy! There was so much to talk about in this episode and luckily we did not have any issues with technology this go around. It's safe to assume that the OFS hosts are as obsessed with this series as most readers out there. However, we were able to find some valid Bad Reviews for our segment.
