Episode Title: Brimstone – Chapters 26–39 (Red Wedding Vibes & The Three-Minute Soup)

Description: The Romantasy Roundtable returns with a "Tale of Rick and Roses" (where the girls are apparently just hair clips?). Amanda, Kim, and Rick break down Chapters 26–39 of Brimstone, and frankly, we are not okay. We go from Saeris going full Magneto with twin god swords to Tal interrupting his own orgy to deliver plot points. We finally confirm that Carrion Swift is the undisputed Pansexual King, realize the Stargazer birds were the book the whole time (Rick loves when a bird is a book), and survive a literal Red Wedding ending where everyone vomits black blood. Plus, we debate whether Lights Out is a rom-com or a "dom-com," Rick declares his hatred for "Balls" (the dancing kind), and Amanda gives a masterclass on Vancouver soccer.

Key Topics Discussed:

Magneto Era: Saeris splits Solace into twin swords, decapitates guards, and proves she is the Captain now. Fischer just stands back and admires the violence.

The Soup is Real: No more dreams. We get the Fisher Reunion (described as a "gymnastics trial") and the infamous "Three Minutes" scene against a mirror while Tal waits outside.

The Pansexual King: Carrion delivers the iconic "The thing about leaning" speech, confirming he likes the wine, not the label. We stan.

Foley is John Cena: The depressed vampire wolf cleans up nice! He enters the Even Light Ball like a WWE surprise entrant to be the 6th petitioner.

The Red Wedding: Just when we thought Tal was serving looks, he serves poison to the entire court (and himself). The "Scion of No One" moment left us screaming.

Archer Watch: We almost lost our favorite Fire Sprite/Dobby, and Rick was ready to riot. He is alive, one inch taller, and dancing.

Closing: Join us for the emotional damage, the soccer tangents, and the realization that Hayden is an entitled brat. Chapters 40–End are next—finish the book, bring your tissues, and prepare for the ACOTAR Christmas Special!

Episode Title: Brimstone – Chapters 13–25

Description: Buckle up, besties — Brimstone drops the brakes in this middle section, and Amanda, Kim, and Rick are simply feral about it. Ambushes, demon scorpions named Josh (yes, really), dream-soup shenanigans, a vampire-wolf named Foley (sorry, still not scary), and an eldritch spaghetti monster who maybe wants a favor and maybe wants your soul…? The Romantasy Roundtable chews through chaos, court politics, and enough editing errors to power a drinking game.

Highlights include:

A Million %$#@ Scorpions Named Josh: The most un-intimidating demon name in history; the nightmare fuel itself is very real.

Fisher Throws Carrion Out a Window: Buddy-cop energy at its finest — including “Did something hit me?” / “Yeah, I punched you.”

Library Boom-Pow: Saeris casually detonates a 20-foot hole in a wall and gets banned after dark like a magical middle-schooler.

Dream Soup Supreme: Shirtless, panicked Fisher; mate-bond chaos; Onyx cameos; bite-healing; emotional dump fest. The people were FED.

Foley the Vampire Sad Boy: Former wolf, current recluse, future reluctant mentor. Also unfortunately named after a catheter.

Carrion Swift, Pansexual King: “I prefer my women and my men prettier than you.” The people’s prince has spoken.

Cleansing Day Massacre: Fisher goes full righteous fury at reproductive oppression — shadow knives for everyone.

The Secret Forge Vault: 1,223 stairs, dangerous quicksilver storage, and Elroy hitting Fischer with a fire iron. Art.

Plus: Hanksgiving, tote-bag economics, Jets slander, Rick’s moral alignment chart (Tal: good/bad/good/bad), and RIP to the brave little paper bird.

Next up: Chapters 26–39 — stop at Chapter 40. Let the chaos continue.

Episode Title: Brimstone – Chapters 1–12 (Accidental Dosing & The Buddy Comedy Era)

Description: The Romantasy Roundtable has officially entered the Brimstone era! Amanda, Kim, and Rick (who is absolutely lying about how much of the book he’s read) dive headfirst into the first 12 chapters of Callie Hart’s sequel to Quicksilver. The crew breaks down Saeris’s transition into her Vampire Queen villain era—complete with a feral coronation, a lethal sheer dress, and an accidental venom-dosing incident that leaves Kingfisher high as a kite and slicing lords in half.

We dissect the terrifying new "Super Feeders" that drain magic, the "Elroy" publishing error that gaslit the entire podcast, and the start of the ultimate Buddy Comedy: Kingfisher and Carrion Swift going on a road trip. Expect deep dives into shadow wing symbolism, justice for Onyx (the fox who crossed the Andes!), and Sage the ChatGPT’s unhinged prophecies about "children of shadow and soup."

Key Topics Discussed:

The Hall of Tears Coronation: Saeris claims her throne by biting Kingfisher in front of the Lords of Midnight, accidentally turning the blood rite into a euphoric aphrodisiac scene. Oops.

Good Soup Alert (Chapter 7): We analyze the spicy reunion where Fisher confesses he wants to marry her (but can't because he has no true name) and unleashes his shadow wings in the bedroom.

The Super Feeders: A new horror has arrived across the river—magic-draining zombies connected to a rotting tree. Callie Hart loves to traumatize Danya, and we discuss why.

The Buddy Comedy: The gang splits up! Saeris stays to forge, while Kingfisher and Carrion (carrying the entire comedic weight of the series) head to the Silver City.

Rick vs. The Truth: We investigate the allegations that Rick has already finished the book despite claiming he stopped at Chapter 12. (Spoiler: He’s definitely lying).

Join us for the rot, the romance, and the rumors. Chapters 13–25 are next—bring your relics and your holiday rom-coms because things are getting dark!
