Welcome back to The Plot Hoes podcast! In this episode, we're digging into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas in the Throne of Glass Series.

Spoilers for the series up to this book, and we also talk about ACOTAR and Crescent City characters.

Samantha is reading this series for the 3rd (or 4th?) time along with Megan, who is reading it for the first time. We check in to see if we're on the same page regarding all of the characters and their journeys. We have a sad, sad boy who loves love, a smart cookie witch with beauty that could win her a king, and of course- how do we feel about Chaol?

Since this series is the finale to the Maasverse for us, we LOVE misty places, caves with hidden swords, and worms. There are multiple books left in this series, but that is not going to stop Megan from comparing the Valg, the Asteri, and the Princes of Hel, and speculating wildly.

Alternate titles for this episode: Look at us explaining away red flags, Sobbing through those details, There you go your theory's hinged

How were you picturing barrows? How are you pronouncing cadre, Manon, and Aedion? We would love to hear from you in the comments/ reviews, and join us on TikTok @ThePlotHoes and Instagram @The.PlotHoes

Welcome back to The Plot Hoes podcast! In this episode, we're digging into Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, in the Throne of Glass series.

Spoilers: social media has ruined the primary relationship in this series & we make predictions that sometimes turn out to be lucky guesses. We also refer to ACOTAR and Crescent City

Megan reads Crown of Midnight for the first time and has a lot to dig into with Samantha, who is reading along for her 3rd (maybe 4th?) time? Samantha got us into this mess, it's the least she could do. We first have to talk about the SJM Instagram post. Then there are cryptic conversations with a ghost, Dorian has stuff manifesting, and I guess we'll talk about Chaol. By the way, Celaena was 8 when everything went down- Megan will never keep that straight.

We have more notes for therapy, beginning with let's not keep secrets or lie by omission to those you love, and also let's just deal with our problems instead of trying to avoid them, and lastly let's all agree to take a pause before making any huge decisions.

We stumble across our first TPH Unhinged Theories for the entire Maasverse, and there are some doozies, but hang with us. We're currently leaning toward a layerd cake situation, but it keeps changing as we keep reading.

Welcome to The Plot Hoes podcast! In this episode, we're digging into Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.

SPOILERS: Megan guesses & Samantha confesses Celaena's true identify, Samantha gives us some warnings and reassurances about Chaol and Dorian's character, and spoilers for all of ACOTAR & Crescent City

Book club is meeting! We take a second to re-introduce ourselves and our history of nerding out together. We're so happy that you're joining us.

Megan was concerned going into this- would she regret starting with The Assassin's Blade? Would it live up to the hype? She loved it but cried a lot. Samantha, who is reading the series for the 3rd (maybe 4th?) time around says that we'll be "destroyed," by the end of it.

In true Plot Hoes fashion, we're going to speculate wildly while only being in the beginning of the series. Megan is also getting a really interesting perspective reading this series last, after ACOTAR and CC, so she is picking up on things that she knows must be important because they are repeated in the later series.

Portals? Void? Stars? Salt?

Alt titles: This is my moment, I'm not a scientist I don't know how to explain it, It's only 55 chapters

Let us know in the comments & on TikTok @ThePlotHoes or Instagram @The.PlotHoes if you were picking up anything that we're putting down, or any advice you'd give Megan reading this series for the first time

Hi all! Book club is starting the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. We are off to a controversial start beginning with The Assassin's Blade.

Megan feels the weight of only getting one shot to read the ToG series for the first time and spends a lot of time rationalizing this decision. This is Samantha's third time through the series and reassures us that it's going to be amazing either way. The biggest argument seems to be that the emotional weight of this book is felt more if you really know Celaena and where she's at, but Megan doesn't need to amplify the emotional impact of a SJM book.

Megan knows a handful of character names associated with this series and none of them are in this book. She has some guesses about Celaena and her backstory that may or may not be correct? If you are experiencing these books for the first time, just know that I'm going to be guessing at what happens, so read ahead some before listening if that's not something you're in to.

We're going into this series with our unhinged takes on the Maasverse, so we're clocking constellations, misty places, gates, dead islands, and lands where magic has withered away.

This book raises some questions that Megan hopes get answered as we read on, like are we finally done with Arobynn? How does Celaena recognize the king's footsteps and sword? Is the glass castle actually glass? What are those witches up to?

PSA: Megan convinces Samantha to commit to the tandem read later in the series, so make your preparations now. Also, go ahead and use your nice soaps and share with a loved one.

Alternate titles: I know all these words, Well shiiiiiiiiiiii, What the weird has in store, Oh I was crying at that point

We definitely did not cover everything- let us know your favorite moments and questions you have for the rest of the series in the comments and join us on TikTok @ThePlotHoes and Instagram @The.PlotHoes

Book club is starting about CC3, House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J Maas. Let's dig in!

Samantha admits that she was too harsh when judging this book when it first came out. We continue to speculate wildly about Illyrians and Azriel. We're also totally on Nesta's side, because why can't you zipline on shadows across rivers? We wonder if there's a connection between our favorite ACOTAR characters and the Asteri and/or Hel.

We spiral a little on a truly unhinged thought about the connection between Midgard and Prythian.

Our favorite morally green man turns out to be a little morally gray in the end, but we'll allow it. What we WON'T allow is anyone mentioning fire sprites around us without tissues nearby.

Samantha gets Megan hyped to read the Throne of Glass series next. We talk about reading order and decided to start with Throne of Glass, but since we are such hoes for the plot, we had to throw in a plot twist and change our minds after recording and actually started with The Assassin's Blade.

Alternate title: They're my funnest couple

What are your final thoughts for Crescent City? Did you pick up on anything that comes back up again in Throne of Glass? Let us know in the comments or on TikTok @ThePlotHoes or Instagram @The.PlotHoes

Hello friends! Book club is meeting about CC2, House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas. Let's dig in!

This time, Samantha hops into the driver seat and comes with notes so we can overthink everything.

In true Megan fashion, we're going to speculate wildly, while only being in the middle of the series.

We spiral on leathery wings, names, and the possibilities of more Starborn or shadow-slingers. We appreciate the Crown Prince of the Valbaran fae for showing us that we can still fall for morally green characters. Mural, Merril, and Orrery are all relevant topics, but hard words for us.

We end on a pitch for movies. Can we bring movies back yet?

Alt titles for this ep: very quickly it got spicy, She woulda swam

We're back! This week, we're digging into the first book of the Cresent City series- House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas. SPOILERS!

The first couple hundred pages had Megan questioning whether she was too dumb to read this book. After adopting the mantra, "if it's important, I'm sure it will come up again," things started to pick up.

We both really enjoyed going from A Court of Silver Flames into this series and see a lot of parallels between our favorite couples. Hunt won us over and never made us question him (except for when he DID). Megan wonders at the fact that it only took one series to go from being okay with morally gray love interests to straight up demons.

We went far too long before we finally put some respect on Lehabah's name. Long live LeLe!

We have veiled items. We have forced proximity. We have a slow slow burn but get to hear the mating bond song. We have a last 100 pages that had Megan saying "that ending was not what I thought was going to go down," which could really be SJM's tagline. Samantha said "I don't know, I don't remember," and Megan has learned that means to be prepared for more twists in the next books.

Megan pictures the sailings to the Bone Quarter like the Undying Lands, and Samantha's reaction hints that might not age well. Megan also hears "praying mantis," anytime she reads "Umbra Mortis," so the helmet is just a silver praying mantis head. Highly recommend.

Let us know when did you read CC and did you love it as much as we did? Drop a comment or find us on Instagram @The.PlotHoes or TikTok @ThePlotHoes

Alternate title: Pour one out for Lele, Imagine being fae and having to go to a regular 9-5 and return text messages, Anyone disappointed to find out Ruhn was the brother

Megan talks about reading the last 2 parts of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas with Samantha, her cousin/ bestie and a longtime fan re-reading the series along with her. Spoilers for the entire series, bonus chapters, and Internet fan theories.

Top line reaction: WAY TO TAKE IT DOWN TO THE WIRE NESTA!

We've got theories about high ladies. We're seeing numbers everywhere. We've got theories about the Daglan and their connection to the Night Court, which sealed the deal for Samantha that she's assigning Crescent City as Megan's next read (maybe you know what that's about).

We outline our dream scenarios for the next ACOTAR book (spoiler: forced proximity IS involved).

We dive into Wendy aka the House of Wind, and the nature of her relationship with Nesta. We cheer when Nesta finally interrupts some maladaptive patterns. We speculate about Azriel's love life and appreciate the bomb Solstice gifts that were exchanged.

The Plot Hoes will be back next with the Crescent City series. Follow along on TikTok @ThePlotHoes and Instagram/ Threads @The.PlotHoes

In this episode, Megan chats about her first time reading A Court of Silver Flames, Book 2: Blade, by Sarah J Maas, with Samantha who is a longtime fan re-reading along.

We were rooting for you Nesta! We were all rooting for you!

This book took us on a journey ending at the wilderness camp for wayward youth. Despite everything, we remain Nesta sympathizers.

Megan has a lot of questions and theories to share with Samantha halfway through this book. Samantha says that they are all good questions and "interesting theories," which likely means they're all wrong. You'll know if you've finished the book. We wonder the supernatural friend that Nesta has coming to her aid, and how to feel about Eris.

Samantha has a Pegasus theory related to the Maas-verse as a whole. Megan thinks that Rhys is projecting some of his Amarantha trauma onto Nesta, and that Nesta is projecting some of her mommy issues onto Amren.

The House of Wind, aka Wendy, is a real one.

We both speculate wildly about Elain's deal and who Gwyn's father could be.

Alternate tiles for this ep: Elegant but brutal/ Mother save you all, goodbye/ The beasty thing under there/ Protect by boo/ If you want cuddles, you're going to have to ask for them

It's the beginning of the end for the series that started it all for The Plot Hoes. Megan has read book 1, Novice, of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas, Samantha's favorite book of the series (SPOILERS).

This book really brings a lot of the feelings from A Court of Thorns and Roses full circle. Megan and Samantha both relate to Nesta, even if it's painful at times. While chatting out Elain theories, Samantha arrives at one in the moment that we both think could really be something. We dive into Nesta's communication patterns and offer her some things to add to her list for therapy.

Megan knows that the clock is ticking and gives her hopes and dreams for books 2 and 3 of Silver Flames. Are they within the realm of possibility? You might know, but Megan does not!
