The finale of the finale! We're wrapping up Queen of Shadows, and we've got some fun things to discuss:

• Lysandra's weak stomach
• Manon vs spines
• We need someone to explain Valg breeding to us. Actually, please don't.
• Kaltain. Is. Amazing.
• Matt is ready for the spice to kick into high gear

We are (almost) wrapping up Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas!

Thanks to some technical difficulties, the episode got cut short, about halfway through. So consider this Part 1 of Part 3, with Part 2 coming soon!

A sexy, witchy time! We're talking about chapters 30-61 of Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas.

Some things we discuss:

• Elide's chains are still there??
• Arobynn smells like...cyanide
• The great underwear debate
• Handkerchief!
• Lots of Hot or Not
• Aedion the 5th wheel
• Chaol knows exactly how to get lost in this forest
• Obsessed, not Possessed

Listen as Matt starts his journey through Queen of Shadows! We're talking about the first 29 chapters, so spoiler warning for that and, of course, Assassin's Blade through Heir of Fire.

Also, Matt embodies Dorian for a magical little intro song...

Some other things to listen for:

• Jedi wisdom
• Vampire witches
• Do babies grow under the belly button?
• Caninification
• She's not within the triangle!
• Rowan's part-time job
• "I really like knowing what's going on"
• Washable crayola paint
• The King is a micro-manager
• Return of "Hot or Not"

Our last episode on Heir of Fire! Listen for all of our thoughts on the crazy, tearful, and maybe a bit confusing ending.

A few highlights...

• We read basically an entire chapter live because it's too good not to
• Matt gets validation for some of his predictions
• We still don't understand the magic triangle, crystals, or Chaol's magic studying habits
• Matt shares his thoughts on Rowan and Aelin...will they or won't they? Or...should they?
• Witches gotta witch

We're talking all things Heir of Fire (through chapter 49)!

Listening for all of Matt's thoughts, including:

- Spider sex?

- Abraxos is the cutest

- Matt still loves Sorscha the most

- We totally understand the triangle magic wave thing

- Rowan is old and wise...sometimes

- Feral fae sex...is it coming?

"My name is Celaena Sardothien, and I will not be afraid...of this 4 hour episode."

That's right, we're spending 4 HOURS discussing anything and everything (and we mean everything) that goes down in The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas.

A little preview of some of our topics...

• The return of Adarlan's Batwoman
• New Girl fans, meet the Mute Master, you've seen him before
• We play Bang, Marry, Kill with Sam, Dorian and Chaol
