We both read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab over a month ago, and we are FINALLY sitting down to talk about it! Who is Addie's OTP? Is she really human? Did this book live up to the hype? Thoughts have been simmering for a while and clearly we have MUCH to discuss.

Rating: 6.5/10

In this episode, cognitive functioning is low and excitement is high. We may only have one collective brain cell but we have a lot of thoughts--in fact, we have so many thoughts we had to make 2 parts! This is part 1 of our discussion of Shadow and Bone season 2 on Netflix, in which we discuss episodes 1-4. This episode contains spoilers for all of Shadow and Bone seasons 1 and 2, as well as the Shadow and Bone trilogy and Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. We do NOT spoil anything from the King of Scars duology, though, because we haven't read it yet. Thanks for listening!
