    Crown of Midnight - Part 2

    Join Choal's two biggest fans as they finish the second part of Crown of Midnight. How do you pronounce this man's name? Did they understand any of the demon-fae-witch lore?

We try to answer some of these questions and more as we wrap up the second book of Throne of Glass and look forward to our next read- Heir of Fire.   Callan's Rating: 4-4.5 Stars Rachel's Rating: 4 Stars

    Crown of Midnight Discussion - Part 1

Can we please get more scenes with Dorian's plot line?? Rachel has suspicions of everything again, Callan's braid is falling out with how much she hates Choal, they both have no idea what to expect but they are speculating wildly and having a great time.

    Throne of Glass Discussion - Part 1

    Besties, we are doing it. Callan and Rachel are finally reading a Sarah J Maas book together. After unsuccessful attempts at loving ACOTAR and the Crescent City series- these two are giving Throne of Glass a blind try for the first time. Join along (and probably laugh at us) as we speculate wildly about what we think is happening, what we think will happen, and how we honestly have no clue. Who is Aelin? How do you pronounced Choal? Are are wrong about everything? Probably! But we're having fun!
