Here we go—new episode, new direction.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re pressing pause on the Fire & Metal deep dive and talking honestly about why we DNF’d Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider at Chapter 20.

🔹 Reading with ND brains: We open up about being neurodivergent (ADHD & AuDHD), how that shapes the way we read, and why “vibe reading” doesn’t always work for us.

🔹 The good & the bad: From a unique world and promising magic system to flat characters and clunky pacing—we break down what worked, what didn’t, and how the book could have been stronger.

🔹 Romantasy today: Is the genre getting oversaturated? Are vibes readers and technical readers shaping what gets hyped? We dig into the state of the genre and what it means for readers like us.

🔹 Avoiding DNFs: Tips for finding books that match your reading style, plus why honest reviews and beta feedback matter now more than ever.

We wrap with the announcement of our next deep dive: Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas, starting September 25th (with content warnings read at the top of each episode).

Here we go—new series, new world.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re kicking off the Fire & Metal deep dive with Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider—Chapters 1–7.

🔹 Brynn & the Alaha: Meet Brynn, a girl from the ocean-bound Alaha—an exiled people living high in giant sea trees, allowed on land only once a year for Market Day. Tradition says “in and out.” Brynn’s day says “not so fast.”

🔹 Market Day mayhem: One trip ashore blows up her routine and cracks open big questions about who she is, where she belongs, and what’s waking up inside her.

🔹 Waves, walls, and whispers: Politics, prejudice, and the pull of the wider world start closing in—setting the stage for choices Brynn can’t dodge.

If you’ve seen this one all over BookTok, you’re not imagining it—and with Book 2, Light Wilder, right around the corner, this is the perfect time to jump in.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re wrapping up Heir of Fire with Chapters 54 through 68—and no one’s making it out of this one the same.

🔹 Aelin has survived the fire and come out swinging. With Rowan now blood-sworn to her, she returns to Erilea as Celaena one last time—alone. She has an old master to confront, a kingdom to reclaim, and a plan that starts in the shadows.

🔹 Manon and her Thirteen have won the War Games, but the real game begins as they’re sent to Morath—alongside Duke Perrington, Roland, and Kaltain. The Matron stays behind with Iskra, and let’s just say... that trust is looking thinner than wyvern wings.

🔹 In Rifthold, the king springs his trap—and it’s brutal. Dorian, Chaol, Sorscha, and Aedion have been exposed, and the fallout is fucking devastating. Blood is spilled, lines are drawn, and Dorian makes the ultimate sacrifice to save Chaol.

🔹 Chaol finally picks a side. And it’s not the throne.

This finale hits like Empire Strikes Back and ends like Infinity War—our heroes are scattered, scarred, and out of time. But the fire’s still burning. And war is coming.
