    Quicksilver- We were just moving furniture

    Book club is meeting to discuss Quicksilver by Callie Hart. We're breaking with tradition to read a book for the first time together. Megan is a new reader constantly fighting the urge to be a pretentious hater, and Samantha has been reading in this genre for years, and yet we can agree that we were hooked. Megan would like to request that you look at images of Elsa and metal power up Mario to understand some visuals. Coming in down to the wire before Brimstone's release, we are going on record with some of our theories: 1. Kingfisher isn't just Chaos' champion, they are related 2. There's something significant about Zilvaren and a reason Madra and Carrion both ended up there- possibly related to the 7 cities buried by the dunes mentioned? Alt titles for this episode: Oop OMG there's a brooding fae, Even the pronunciation guide couldn't save us, Daddy Taddy In honor of Kingfisher himself, we chose the next Plot Hoes book by flipping a coin- Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole (and the entire Kindred Curse Saga so far) and Brimstone are the next reads. Chat with us on TikTok @ThePlotHoes or IG @The.PlotHoes Love you, BYE!

    Kingdom of Ash- I for sure thought that was going to work

    Book club is meeting and this episode we are digging into Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas. Spoilers for the entire Throne of Glass series, ACOTAR, and Crescent City. Megan experiences the finale of the Throne of Glass series for the first time with Samantha, who just read it for her 4th time. This went in many directions that Megan did not see coming. There was one point where Megan had to threaten to throw hands with Samantha when they met up at the Ren Faire. We rate the cadre, rate the Maasverse series, and become severely unhinged in our theorizing (we no longer want the stars listening). Alt titles for this ep: Of all your plans Aelin that was my least favorite, I'd do it all again for Terrasen, Someone's more Chaol than Chaol, Lorcan would never The next books up for The Plot Hoes are Quicksilver by Callie Hart and then Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole. Keep reading along with us and let us know what you think over on TikTok @ThePlotHoes or IG @The.PlotHoes

    The Tandem Read- because 7 8 9

    Book club is meeting and today we're digging into Empire of Storms AND Tower of Dawn in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. Read them together or separate but definitely finish both books before listening. Samantha has read the Throne of Glass series many times, however this was her first time doing the tandem read. This is Megan's first time reading the series. Thank you to the fans that came before us who have mapped out the tandem read, it was phenomenal. Samantha says Assassin's Blade can really be read wherever but is now sold on the tandem read. Aelin continues to be a spitfire, and Dorian continues to live up to Samantha's early promises to keep getting better and better. We love Lorcan's journey but have a PSA that this is a fantasy world and fixing red flag men shouldn't be the goal. Double the books, double the material to delusionally spiral into our Maasverse theories. Cats in libraries... we've seen that before. Blades are found, mountains hiding secrets, people of dawn are full of healing magic and they glow. Spoiler alert for Kingdom of Ash: people will die We're going to start diving into the Maasverse theories we've discussed here on socials so be sure to follow along @ThePlotHoes on TikTok and @The.PlotHoes on Instagram. Alt titles for this episode: Sure feathers, That's a looser thread, More of a dragon-like person than a bird person

    Queen of Shadows- I blacked all of that out

    Welcome back to The Plot Hoes podcast! We're digging into Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas in the Throne of Glass series. Spoilers for the series up to this book, references to ACOTAR and Crescent City, and skip the minute of 33-34 if you're still hoping to experience Game of Thrones without spoilers a decade later. Megan is reading this series for the first time, with the sage guidance of Samantha who is reading along for her 3rd (or 4th?) time. We clear up some confusion resulting from Megan remembering what she wants and blocking out all of the other "minor details." We talk about our love for the newly introduced characters, which includes Rowan with a haircut. We know that Samantha likes Lorcan, but that's not quite a spoiler about where he lands. We continue to love the characters that have been with us from the beginning. Dorian "I'll bleed whatever color you tell me to," does live up to the hype. Megan is very confused about how there are 3 very large books left in the series, when this one so perfectly sets up their happily ever afters. Next up is the Empire of Storms/ Tower of Dawn tandem read! If you're reading them individually as intended, be sure to finish both before listening to the next episode. Follow along @ThePlotHoes on TikTok and @The.PlotHoes Alt titles for this episode: How horrifying was that, I was ready to cry but not like that

    Heir of Fire- Do you want to start anywhere normal?

    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

    Crown of Midnight- Have you gotten to part 2 yet?

    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. Alt titles for this ep: It looks like an arrow, Unexpected tears, Just a nightmare person, The who and the what and the how Where do you stand on the Chaol mate vs fate debate? What connections are you making in the wider universe? Let us know in the comments and find us on TikTok @ThePlotHoes or Instagram @The.PlotHoes

    Throne of Glass- That's important, don't know why

    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

    The Assassin's Blade- Stay Outta the Sewers

    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
