In this emotionally charged episode, we dive into Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas — the book that finally made Eva accept that Chaol is not endgame (it’s okay, we’re all healing).

We unpack our complicated feelings about Rowan and Aelin as a couple (spoiler: we’re not fans), gush over Elide and Lorcan — our new favorite duo — and cry actual tears over Elide’s emotional reunion with Aelin.

Also: Dorian’s glow-up, Manon’s romance arc, Lysandra’s epic sacrifice, Aedion’s ongoing annoyance, and the sheer joy of seeing the gang back together again.

We end the episode by naming our personal MVPs and LVPs — both for this book and the series so far.

You’ve been warned: we have a lot of feelings.

Okay, so I was supposed to have my Empire of Storms episode ready... but life (and several unplanned books) happened.

In this short update, I chat about the books I’ve picked off my TBR recently — including The Seven Year Slip, Red Rising, and Sunrise on the Reaping. I also talk about the two romance reads I randomly gave a shot, my current obsession with The Mindf*ck Series (yes, that one), and what I’m reading right now: The Institute by Stephen King.

Full Throne of Glass chaos resumes soon — promise. 🖤

In this episode, we dive into Queen of Shadows — where the betrayals are brutal, the witches are finally winning us over, and Chaol is somehow saltier than ever.
Eva’s still convinced Dorian is endgame and "mad" at me for not warning her about Chaol’s downfall, but at least we can both agree that Sarah J. Maas slays when it comes to writing strong, complicated female friendships.
We cover everything from Aelin and Chaol’s messy breakup, to Kaltain’s unexpected storyline, to Manon’s slow-burn character growth.
Plus, lots of emotional quotes, a little friendly chaos, and big love for the book's amazing portrayal of female empowerment.
